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

This was another fairly big development cycle with more than 1400 changes
all over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy
to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

- Architectures: new ARM variants: Cortex A17 and M4, improved nonmmu
  (cortex-M) support, m68k has been re-enabled with support for
  ColdFire. For x86, support for the i386 variant has been dropped.

- Toolchain: Add GCC 6 support, remove GCC 4.5, mark GCC 4.7 as
  deprecated. Go programming language support, Add Binutils 2.26
  support. Old Sourcery PowerPC external toolchains removed, Sourcery
  MIPS 2016.06-8, AMD64 2015.11-139, NiosII 2015.11-130 added, Linaro
  ARM/ARMeb/Aarch64 toolchains updated.

- New defconfigs: Firefly RK3288, Boundary Devices i.MX7 Nitrogen7,
  STM32F429 and STM32F469 Discovery boards, Hardkernel ODROID-C2,
  Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 3. Some Qemu defconfigs were
  added for m68k, eXtensa-nommu and ColdFire.

- Lots (89) of new packages, mainly related to kodi and python.

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

Once again our autobuilders have helped us fix a huge amount of build
issues. Thanks to all the people reviewing failures and fixing issues:

for i in $(git log --format=%H 2016.02..); do \
    git show --quiet $i | grep -q http://autobuild && \
    git show --quiet --format="%an" $i ; done | sort | uniq -c | \
        sort -rn -k1
