It's nice to see contributions from lots of new people in addition to
the "oldtimers". This time I'm again ahead of Gustavo with almost 2x
commits ;)
It has been a quite busy development cycle, with more than 450
commits, and a number of large scale changes.
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Large number of new packages (50): Connman & NetworkManager, EFL,
Jquery related javascript libraries, kmod, lttng and a number of
python packages.
- Default to GCC 4.5.x / Binutils 2.22 / uClibc 0.9.33 for the
internal toolchain.
- Support for SCP and mercurial package sources. Host dependencies
are now derived from target ones by default.
- Packages can now define device table snippets for special
permissions / device nodes when static /dev is used.
- Updated documentation. The generated Asciidoc documenation is now
included in tarballs in text/html/pdf format.
- Additional QEMU defconfigs, at91 defconfigs updated and lpc3250
configs added.
- Host utilities menu with commonly used host tools.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2012.02_rc1
Just like last cycle, I will now create a next branch and start
merging in new feature, rather than wait until 2012.02 is released.
Enjoy!
