Of noteworthy new features we have: - The work of Spenser Gilliland on improving the ARM multimedia support in Buildroot, through a Google Summer of Code, has started to flow into Buildroot. To date, Spenser has merged OpenMAX support for RasberryPi, the addition of GStreamer 1.x, the bump of the glib/gtk/webkit stack to the latest versions, OpenGL support for TI OMAP platforms and for Allwinner SOCs. - The internal toolchain backend has also seen a number of improvements: it has been completely converted to use the common package infrastructure, it now supports generating eglibc toolchains, and it has a much better support of floating point options (EABIhf support, EABI soft-float and softfp, etc.) and Thumb/Thumb2 on ARM. - The OABI ARM support has been removed, after having been deprecated for a while. It is worth mentionning that OABI support has already been completely removed from upstream gcc. - Defconfigs: beaglebone_defconfig updated, new defconfig for CubieBoard, for Olimex mx233 Olinuxino, for Calao Systems TNY-A9G20-LPW. And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES file for details: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2013.08_rc1 Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new features, rather than wait until 2013.08 is released. -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
