This tarball contains a symbolic link (docs/images -> docs/website/images).
I don't know if it's useful, but it is unusual.

> This time again we had more than 80 unique contributors! I'm very happy
> to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers". We once again had a
> lot (1150) of changess all over the tree.
>
> Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
>
> - Static/shared library handling reworked. This is now a tristate
>   (shared only / shared and static / static only). Default is now shared
>   only to speed up the build. BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is now called
>   BR2_STATIC_LIBS.
>
> - The toolchain (internal and external) will now warn when an unsafe
>   library or header path is used (such as /usr/include or /usr/lib). If
>   BR2_COMPILER_PARANOID_UNSAFE_PATH is enabled under build options this
>   instead becomes an error.
>
> - Architectures: Freescale E5500 and E6500 PowerPC support added,
>   deprecated MIPS 1/2/3/4 support removed.
>
> - New defconfigs: Freescale p2020ds, MIPS creator CI20, Raspberrypi with
>   DT, UDOO Quad.
>
> - 'make <foo>_defconfig' now saves the path to the defconfig in the
>   .config, so a 'make savedefconfig' automatically updates it.
>
> - Infrastructure for packages using the Erland rebar tool has been added.
>
> - Hashes for a large number of packages have been added. Hashes are now
>   checked for both target and host packages.
>
> - The system menu now has an option to automatically configure a network
>   interface through DHCP at bootup.
>
> - The default filesystem skeleton now uses a separate tmpfs for /run
>   instead of a symlink to /tmp/ for security reasons / to protect
>   against conflicts with user generated temporary files.
>
>  - Large number of new packages (99): Erlang and Python modules, Kodi,
>    SELinux support packages, ..
>
> And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
> file for details:
>
> http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2015.02-rc1
>
> Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new
> features, rather than wait until 2015.02 is released.
