2014.05, Not yet released:
Support for MIPS o32 ABI on MIPS-64 targets has been removed. Building
o32 ELF files for MIPS64 is an exotic configuration that nobody should
be using. If o32 is required, then is better if it's built for MIPS
32-bit cores so only 32-bit instructions will be used leading to a more
efficient o32 usage.
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Architectures: Support for MIPS o32 ABI on MIPS-64 targets has
been removed. Building o32 ELF files for MIPS64 is an exotic
configuration that nobody should be using. If o32 is required,
then is better if it's built for MIPS 32-bit cores so only
32-bit instructions will be used leading to a more efficient
o32 usage.
Support for the ARM A12 variant and Intel corei7.
Configs: Minnowboard and Altera SoCkit added, QEMU updates.
Bootloaders: Grub2 and gummiboot support, syslinux support
extended.
Toolchains: GCC 4.9. Glibc 2.19. Support for the musl C
library for internal and external toolchains. 4.8-R3 support
for ARC, Internal toolchain support for Aarch64 and
Microblaze. Environment variable to control debug output of
toolchain wrapper renamed to BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER to match the
other variables. Toolchain tupple vendor name can now be
customized. Updated external Linaro ARM/Aarch64
toolchains. Added external Linaro ARMEB toolchain.
A GDB gdbinit file is now generated for external toolchains to
automatically set the correct sysroot.
Kconfig handling for minimum kernel headers version required
for packages. Now packages needing specific kernel header
features can specify these requirements in Kconfig.
Infrastructure: Support for (but disabled as it leads to
unreproducable builds) toplevel parallel builds. See the
comment at the top of Makefile for details about how to enable
it and what the problems are if you want to test it.
Python package infrastructure extended to support Python 3.x
Perl and virtual package infrastructure support added.
PRE_*_HOOKS support for all build steps.
