It's nice to see contributions from lots of new people in addition to
the "oldtimers". This time around Gustavoz took the lead with many many
package updates / fixes.
It has been one of the most active development cycles so far (almost 800
commits!) and a number of large scale changes.
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Large number of new packages (43): At91bootstrap3, Erlang, PAM, Perl,
Python 3, ..
- X11 stack bumped to X11R7.6
- GCC 4.7.2, Binutils 2.23.1, New Codebench and Linaro external
toolchains, libtirpc for modern Glibc toolchains without RPC support.
Notice: Native toolchain on target has been deprecated.
- Initial Aarch64 support and Xtensa support re-added
- Legal info infrastructure has been extended and lots of packages
annotated with their license info.
- We are now using pkgconf instead of pkg-config
- Nitrogen6x iMX6 + QEMU MIPS64 defconfigs added.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2012.11_rc1
Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new
features, rather than wait until 2012.11 is released.
