2011.02, Not yet released:
External toolchain improvements: clarification of the options,
and introduction of the toolchain profile concept, for
well-known toolchains. Buildroot is now capable of
automatically downloading and extracting well-known toolchains
(for the moment, CodeSourcery ARM, PowerPC, MIPS and SuperH
toolchains are supported).
Complete rework of how hardware boards are supported.
Each board now only has a single defconfig file, and all
board-specific options have been removed. See
docs/buildroot.html#board_support for details.
Added support for the following boards: Mini2440, Qemu ARM
Versatile, Qemu MIPSel Malta, Qemu PowerPC G3beige, Qemu SH4
r2d and Qemu x86. The Qemu boards support allows to easily
build systems that are known to work under Qemu.
Staging directory moved into $(O)/host/usr/<tuple>/sysroot, in
preparation for support of SDK. For the same reason, the
toolchain binaries (cross-compiler and other related tools)
are now installed in $(O)/host/usr/bin/.
Ccache support reworked. Now used for both host and target
compilation, and cache is stored in ~/.buildroot-ccache.
Toolchain: uClibc 0.9.32-rc2, several components moved to
normal AUTOTARGET packages.
Generic cmake infrastructure, similar to the existing
GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS.
Support for bzr downloads, next to the existing git/svn support.
EXT2 file system size handling improved, UBI image support, fs
configuration options cleanup, U-Boot/Barebox version bumps.
