This was a *BIG* cycle! We had more than 1600 (a new record!) changes
all over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy
to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

 - Architectures: Removed AVR32 support, deprecate SH64, added support
   for steamroller, corei7-avx and core-avx2 x86 variants.

 - Toolchains: IPv6 and Largefile support now enforced for
   uClibc. Corresponding Kconfig symbols removed.
   Internal toolchain support for Nios2 added, Blackfin
   removed. Aarch64 and sh musl support. uClibc-ng support added.

 - Libatomic is now handled for internal and external toolchains. Link
   time optimization (LTO) support.

 - Defconfigs: Freescale i.MX28 EVK, i.MX31 PDK and SABRE Auto,
   Raspberry Pi 2 and RIoTboard added.

 - Infrastructure: Hashes for a large number of packages have been
   added. Missing hashes now stop the build unless explicitly disabled.

 - Large number of new packages (96): Perl and Python modules, Apache,
   GNURadio, NVIDIA + Tegra GPU drivers, Tor, Wine, ..

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2015.05-rc1

Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new
features, rather than wait until 2015.05 is released.
