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 2014.05..); do \
    git show --quiet $i | grep -q http://autobuild && \
    git show --quiet --format="%an" $i ; done | sort | uniq -c | \
        sort -rn -k1

The autobuilder graph shows a very nice decrease in build issues during
the stabilization phase:

This time again we had more than 80 unique contributors! I'm very happy
to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers". It was also a very
busy cycle with close to 1400 commits (a new record I believe) and
changes all over the tree. Also a special thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for
handling the maintainer duties while I was away!

Of noteworthy new features we have:

 - Architecture: PowerPC64 BE/LE added, AVR32 deprecated.
   Improved altivec / SPE /atomic instructions handling. Additional
   PowerPC CPU variants added.

 - Defconfigs: Atmel SAMA5D3, Congatec QMX6, Lego ev3, TS-5x00,
   qemu-system-xtensa, qemu-aarch64-virt added. A number of tweaks to
   existing ones. lpc32xx defconfigs removed.

 - Toolchain: Microblaze support for internal musl toolchain.
   Default to GCC 4.8 for internal toolchain, remove deprecated 4.3 and
   4.6 versions.
   External CodeSourcery / Linaro toolchain updates, option to copy
   gconv libraries for external toolchains.

 - Infrastructure: graph-depends: misc fixes, transitive dependencies
   are not drawn by default. Download handling is now done using helper
   scripts. Integrity of downloads can now be verified using sha*
   hashes. Subversion download now uses peg revisions for robustness.

   Legal-info: License info of local or overridden packages are saved as
   well. Toolchain packages are also taken into account.
   autotools: Static linking with libtool / v1.5 improvements.
   Gettextize support, similar to autoreconf.

   kconfig package infrastructure added.

 - Large number of new packages (64):
   Multimedia: imx-vpu, libglew, libglu, libmpdclient, libva,
   libva-intel-driver, ncmpc, opencore-amr, sox, twolame
   Perl extensions: perl-datetime-tiny, perl-gd, perl-gdgraph,
   perl-gdtextutil, perl-io-socket-ssl, perl-json-tiny, perl-mojolicious,
   perl-net-ssleay, perl-path-tiny, perl-try-tiny, perl-xml-libxml,
   perl-xml-namespacesupport, perl-xml-sax, perl-xml-sax-base,
   Python extensions: python-cffi, python-daemon, python-flup,
   python-ipython, python-numpy
   Networking: flickcurl, geoip, linux-zigbee, sshpass, whois
   Misc: gnupg2, kexec-lite, memcached, patchelf, ..

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

http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2014.08

Next release will be 2014.11. Expect the first release candidate late
October, and the final release at the end of November.

The next developers meeting will take place just before the Embedded
Linux Conference Europe in D?sseldorf, Germany:

http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysELCE2014

We are still looking for companies willing to sponsor this Developers
Meeting. The budget is in the 250-500 EUR range, so it's fairly cheap
for most companies, but allows us to cover the cost of the meeting room,
and optionally the Saturday dinner for the participants.

Enjoy!
