Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.

A quite busy development cycle, with more than 1200 changes from 120
unique contributors!

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

Toolchain:

- Support for GDB 13.2, make GDB 12.x the default

- Glibc bumped to 2.38

- Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2023.08, bringing
  support for Aarch64 BE with musl.

- Motorola 68K w/MMU support added for glibc and musl.

- License info added for GCC

Infrastructure:

- The CMake infrastructure now supports building packages with
  ninja instead of make (based on <pkg>_CMAKE_BACKEND).

- The RPATH fixup done at the end of the build is now done in
  parallel (according to BR2_JLEVEL).

- Packages downloaded from Subversion repos no longer
  retrieves svn:externals unless <pkg>_SVN_EXTERNALS is set to
  YES.

- Packages where a free-form version/site can be specified
  (E.G. Linux, U-Boot, ..) can now have the corresponding
  tarballs of these custom downloads checked by the download
  infrastructure based on .hash files in the global patch
  directory. These hashes are optional unless
  BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES is enabled.

  A utils/add-custom-hashes helper script has been added to
  assist in managing such hash files.

- Various improvements to utils/docker-run to handle external
  (BR2_DL_DIR defined in environment) download directory,
  proxy configuration, SELinux and out of tree (O=) builds.
