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.

        Ccache support reworked. Now used for both host and target
        compilation, and cache is stored in ~/.buildroot-ccache.

        Toolchain: uClibc 0.9.32-rc2, several components moved to
        normal AUTOTARGET packages.

        Generic cmake infrastructure, similar to the existing
        GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS.

        Support for bzr downloads, next to the existing git/svn support.

        Kconfig infrastructure rebased against 2.6.38-rc3, bringing
        misc fixes. 'xconfig' now uses Qt4 rather than Qt3.

        EXT2 file system size handling improved, UBI image support, fs
        configuration options cleanup, U-Boot/Barebox version bumps.

        Updated/fixed packages: alsa-utils, at, autoconf, automake,
        bash, binutils, bison, busybox, bzip2, cdrkit, cloop, cmake,

        Updated/fixed packages: busybox, dbus, fltk, gvfs, ltrace

2009.11-rc1, Released November 23rd, 2009:

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Cleaned up / Simplified build directory layout. Refer to
        docs/buildroot.html#using for details.

        Target defconfig files moved to configs/ and listed in 'make help'
        output.

        Fixed *clean targets. Now clean removes everything generated,
        so you can do a fresh rebuild. Distclean furthermore removes
        kbuild tools and .config, bringing the source tree back in a
        pristine state.

        Toolchain: ARM cortex A8 support, GCC 4.4.2, sensible default
        soft / hardfloat setting for architecture, ensure target-ldd
        gets installed.

            verified against the real toolchain configuration.
          - Fixes, documentation.

        Cleanup X.org support: clarified configuration options, and
        removed mandatory dependency on useless libraries such as
        libXt or libXaw.

        New QT-based configurator, usable using 'make xconfig'.

        Support for the Xtensa architecture.

        Makefile.autotools.in and we now build host versions of
