[U-Boot] [STATUS] U-Boot v2010.09 released - Merge Window OPEN

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello all,

U-Boot v2010.09 has been released and is available from the git
repository and the FTP server.

The "next" branch has been pulled into mainline ("master" branch) and
has been removed afterward.


		********************
		********************
		**                **
		**  BIG FAT NOTE  **
		**                **
		********************
		********************

The commits we pulled from the next branch into mainline contain 3
major groups of changes:

1) New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.

   In addition to the traditional commands "setenv", "printenv" and
   "saveenv" there is now a new "env" command with a number opf
   subcommands that offer many new features. Please see the commit
   message of commit ea882baf for details:

   http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=ea882baf

2) ARM cache support.

   This greatly accelerates U-Boot on many ARM systems, especially
   functions like uncompressing images or loading images form external
   storage are now much faster, sometimes by a factor > 10. For
   details please see these commits:

   7e4a9e6 ARM (ARM11): add data cache support, test on Qong board
   95c6f6d ARM V7 (OMAP): add data cache support, test on Beagle board
   c3330e9 ARM (ARM926ejs): add data cache support, tested on magnesium and tx25 board

   http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=7e4a9e6
   http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=95c6f6d
   http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=c3330e9

3) ARM relocation support.

   This allows to efficiently use the same U-Bot binary image on
   systems with different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation
   much more in line with the code used for example on Power
   Architecture systems (eventually allowing to merge into common
   code). This seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting
   Device Tree support as well.

   Please note that *all* ARM boards need to be adapted to this noew
   code, which requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a
   task for the respective board maintainers or other users.

   *****************************************************************
   * Currently, most ARM boards are *broken* and *do not compile*. *
   *****************************************************************

   Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details:

   http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f1d2b31

   Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed after
   release v2010.03; all boards that have not been converted by then,
   i. e. that are still broken then, are considered unmaintained and
   without interest for the community and will be removed as well.

As many people won't have a time machine ready, I belive this should
read "v2011.03", correct?

I guess you misses the time warp that I caused by used a version from
10 years in the future as refernce ;-)

Please feel free to clone git://git.lwn.net/gitdm.git and check
yourself.


[But make sure to replace the patch generated for b1f95b4438a with
dummy data, or you will get even funnier results.]

I'm guessing on this last bit the stat's dont count signoffs on which you are the author, but that's just a theory :)

More as a theory: in gitdm README:

-s      Ignore Signed-off-by lines which match the author of
                each patch.

If Wolfgang has used this option, your theory is right !
