For details please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ReleaseCycle Please help testing, and check if all your relevant patches have been included. We also have a new "next" branch now, which should be used as base for any new stuff scheduled to be added for the next release (v2010.12). Please NOTE: due to some issues with the ARM relocation patches I had no choice but to rebase the "next" branch; sorry if this is causing inconveniences. Also NOTE: the relocation support that was added to the ARM architecture (which brings it more in sync with the Power Architecture, so there is hope we can merge some more [now] common code) requires to adapt basicly all ARM boards. The changes are relatively simple and straightforward, but require in-depth understanding of the actual hardware - and testing, of course. This is why the patches provided by Heiko cannot include all boards - this is a task to be performeed by the respective board maintainers. To make the task highly visible, compilation for this boards will actually _break_. See the commit message for commit f1d2b313 "ARM: add relocation support" and doc/README.arm-relocation for further information (including adapting boards and debugging). Boards that have not been adapted after some time (maximum 2 releases) are considered to be unmaintained and dead and will be removed.
