This has been quite an active development cycle, with contributions
from approximately double the number of people than we usually do,
which is very nice - Thanks to the newcomers, as well as the "oldies".
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Proper splitup of host versus target binaries. The staging
directory is now located in $(O)/host/usr/<tuple>/sysroot, and
cross compiler + other host tools in $(O)/host/usr/bin.
The cross pkg-config now also automatically returns correct values
for cross compilation, without needing any environment variables to
be set.
- External toolchain and crosstool-ng backend improvements and
out-of-the-box support for downloading/using CodeSourcery
toolchains.
- Rework of how hardware boards are supported, and support for a
number of qemu configs added.
- Ccache support reworked. Now used for both host and target
compilation, and cache is stored in ~/.buildroot-ccache.
- Generic cmake infrastructure, similar to the existing
GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS. Support for bzr downloads, next to the
existing git/svn/ftp/http support.

Enjoy!
