licenses and source code of all components of a system
generated by Buildroot. License information will progressively
be added on packages.
Default configuration files added for Calao-systems USB-A9263
and Calao-systems USB-A9G20-LPW.

locations disappear.
Add a 'System configuration' choice to select between 3
different init systems: Busybox init, SysV init and Systemd
init.
Cleanups to the package infrastructure. The visible change to
developers is that $(eval $(call AUTOTARGETS)) is now $(eval
$(autotools-package)), and similarly for other package
infrastructures and host packages. Refer to the documentation
for details.
By default, automatic detection of the number of compilation
jobs to use, depending on the number of CPUs available.
Improvements to generate systems with static libraries only
(infrastructure and package fixes).
Add proper support in the Linux kernel package to generate
Device Tree Blobs or combined Device Tree / Kernel
images. This will be useful on Microblaze, PowerPC and ARM,
which are architectures making extensive use of the Device
Tree.

Fixes all over the tree.

2011.05-rc1, Released May 18th, 2011:
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
External toolchain improvements: We now build a binary
toolchain wrapper and install it into HOST_DIR/usr/bin, which
enforces the correct compiler arguments, making an external
toolchain as easy to use outside of Buildroot as the internal
ones are. This also brought a cleanup of CFLAGS, making the
Buildroot build output easier to read.
Rootfs device handling improvements: Choice between static
/dev, devtmpfs and devtmpfs with either mdev or udev.
Toolchain: More preconfigured codesourcery external
toolchains, improved Crosstool-NG support, fix for GCC
snapshot versions, GCC 4.4.6 / 4.5.3, experimental GCC 4.6.0
support, target-GCC fixes, uClibc fixes, 0.9.32-rc3 support.
Bootloaders: U-boot 2011.03, Barebox 2011.05.0
Linux: support for custom kernel image targets, E.G. for
powerpc builds with embedded device trees.
Misc fixes for qemu defconfigs, ensuring correct serial
terminal setup out of the box.
Misc gentarget / autotools handling fixes.

2011.02-rc1, Released February 14th, 2011:
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
External toolchain improvements: clarification of the options,
and introduction of the toolchain profile concept, for
well-known toolchains. Buildroot is now capable of
automatically downloading and extracting well-known toolchains
(for the moment, CodeSourcery ARM, PowerPC, MIPS and SuperH
toolchains are supported). Crosstool-NG backend updated and
improved.
Complete rework of how hardware boards are supported.
Each board now only has a single defconfig file, and all
board-specific options have been removed. See
docs/buildroot.html#board_support for details.
Added support for the following boards: Mini2440, Qemu ARM
Versatile, Qemu MIPSel Malta, Qemu PowerPC G3beige, Qemu SH4
r2d and Qemu x86. The Qemu boards support allows to easily
build systems that are known to work under Qemu.
Initial support for Blackfin processors.
Staging directory moved into $(O)/host/usr/<tuple>/sysroot, in
preparation for support of SDK. For the same reason, the
toolchain binaries (cross-compiler and other related tools)
are now installed in $(O)/host/usr/bin/. The cross pkg-config
now also automatically returns correct values for cross
compilation, without needing any environment variables to be
set.
