Hi,
Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.net).
Buildroot 2013.11 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.11.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.11.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:
- Large number of new packages (41): Mostly networking related: aiccu,
autossh, igmpproxy, iputils, knock, libssh2, p910nd, snmppp and
tcping, Python libraries: python-crc16, python-ipy, python-pyzmq and
the new components of Qt 5.1: qt5sensors, qt5serialport, qt5x11extras
- Infrastructure: Make 3.82 ordering fixes, locales generation fixes,
CVS download support, post-rsync hooks, improvements to legal-info
- GCC 4.8.2. Glibc support for the internal toolchain, a number of
upstream uClibc fixes has been backported. Support for external
toolchains using musl. Updated Linaro external toolchains. Fortran
and objective-C support deprecated, mudflap support
- Nios-II architecture support, a number of fixes to MIPS architecture
handling.
- New defconfigs: cubieboard2, freescale i.MX 6sololite evk, sabre-sd,
wandboard added, rpi renamed to raspberrypi_defconfig
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. Again, the
autobuilder setup has been instrumental to fixing a lot of different
build issues. See the CHANGES file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2013.11
This time we had more than 75 unique contributors! I'm very happy to see
so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers". It was again a very busy
cycle with more than 900 commits and changes all over the tree.
Many thanks to all the people contributing to this release:

Next release will be 2014.02, marking the 5 year anniversary of me as
maintainer. Expect the first release candidate around FOSDEM, and the
final release at the end of the month.
We had a very nice developer days meeting after the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe in Edinburgh, UK. Thanks to all the attendees, and
especially Arnout Vandecappelle for writing a detailed report about the
session and to Imagination Technologies for sponsoring:

The slides of my 'Buildroot: What is new' presentation at ELCE are now
also available:

The next Buildroot Developer Days meeting will take place on Monday 3rd
and Tuesday 4th February 2014 in Brussels, Belgium - Just after FOSDEM
(February 1st/2nd). Thanks in advance to Google for sponsoring the event
logistics. Developers interested in Buildroot are welcome to join,
please let us know if you are interested in participating. For more
