[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2016.11 is released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

I've released v2016.11 and it's now live on git and FTP and ACD (along
with PGP sig file).

In many ways it feels good to say that the highlights of the last
release once again apply.  We've had more DM conversion work, Kconfig
conversion work and arch / SoC / platform updates.  We've also had some
important filesystem fixes come in and equally as important, test cases
added.  We also now support the new and default enabled ext4 64bit flag
(thanks again Stefan!).

And what I want to highlight here is going forward both relative ease
of, and expectations on testing.  Last time I talked about test.py and
how I'm using it more myself now.  This time, I want to talk about
travis-ci support.  If you use github you can get a more-or-less world
build and test.py for all of the QEMU targets we support today done in
about 2 and a half hours, wall clock.  I don't expect people to do this
for iterative development or "trivial" changes, but if you have a series
that touches a lot of areas I think it's reasonable to expect that
you'll test things out this way.  And I'll say now it's not 100%.  About
once every 10 builds I'll have to go and re-start a sub-job because it
will fail to fetch one of the PPAs we use for no apparent reason.  But
to be clear, it's a few minutes worth of setup and then you push a
change and you get build coverage and test coverage.  This is really
awesome and I wish I had been paying more attention to this sooner.

As always, I know I'm missing pointing out a few things that I should
point out and would encourage folks to chime in if there's anything they
would like to highlight.

Thanks again everyone!

Unfortunately "Amarula Solutions" is not listed in Employers list [1]
for this I sent a domain-map mail to Wolfgang Denk during MW, any edit
for this?

Where should it show up?

You sent me an entry for a

	www.amarulasolutions.com -> Amarula Solutions

mapping, which I did add to the u-boot-config/domain-map used for
building this report.  AFAICT, there is no single commit log
containing "www.amarulasolutions.com".

The git log from v2016.09 through v2016.11 shows author entries for
two mail addresses containing anything similar:

	jagan at amarulasolutions.com
	michael at amarulasolutions.com

But neither of them matches "www.amarulasolutions.com", so there are
no credits generated.

I was surprised about the "www" part in your domain mapping, but this
is what you sent me, so I added it.  Please let me know if you think
this should be changed.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but  I  can't
prove it.

Look like I sent a wrong entry to with "www" part please remove the same.

You could end up being oddly sad and full of a strange, diffuse  com-
passion  which would lead you to believe that it might be a good idea
to wipe out the whole human race and start again with amoebas.
