[Buildroot] Buildroot 2013.02 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.net).

Buildroot 2013.02 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.02.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.02.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot

After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:

 - Large number of new packages (66): Jamvm/Classpath reintroduced,
   Development packages (flashbench, perf, ..), QEMU related packages,
   Multimedia (dvdsnoop, gst-fsl-plugins, jpeg-turbo, tvheadend, yavta,
   ..), Raspberry PI support packages, various firmware packages.

 - Infrastructure: Eclipse integration support. Option to set root
   password. Post-image scripts support, similar to post-build.
   Generalized *-config script handling.

 - GDB 7.51, Crosstool-NG 1.17.0, Linaro ARM 2012.11/12 + 2013.01,
   Sourcery CodeBench MIPS 2012.03/09. Infrastructure to warn about
   missing 32bit support for toolchains. Binary toolchain wrapper is now
   relocatable.

 - ARM NEON support toggle. OABI deprecated. Cortex A5/A15 support.

 - Defconfigs: Calao USB-A9260, snowball, QEMU PPC440 on ML507 board,
   QEMU ARM Exynos4210.

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. Thanks to the
http://autobuild.buildroot.net autobuilder setup by Thomas Petazzoni we
have been able to fix a lot of different build issues. See the CHANGES
file for details:

It has been quite a busy development cycle with almost 850 commits, lots
of new packages and a number of large scale changes. We also had a very
nice developer days connected to FOSDEM in Brussels - See here for the
report:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-February/067105.html

Next release will be 2013.05. Expect the first release candidate early
May - And the final release towards the end of the month.

Thanks for doing this release work, once again!

FWIW, I've published a post at
http://www.emlinews.net/2013/02/buildroot-2013-02-has-been-released/.
Don't hesitate to spread the word on Twitter, Google+ and others.

And now to the merge of the next branch, and let the fun begin :-)

Thomas
