[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2014.04 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

I've pushed v2014.04 out to the repository and tarballs should exist
soon.

As always, lots of nice little fixes here and there and everywhere.
Since I've had a few requests to include some sort of ChangeLog (other
than what git spits out), here's what I've come up with:

- Improve 'test' command, add -e for file exists on FAT and ext4 (and
  ext2/3 when using ext4 support).
- Switch to Kbuild for build system.
  - tools-only build target, to build just the host tools
  - Slight build speed improvement
  - Can no longer do 'make fooboard' but can do 'make fooboard_config
    all'
- Under the hood DFU improvements
- New arc architecture support
- Sandbox now has a display
- Further device tree usage on Samsung platforms
- Better HW RAND support, generate UUIDs when making new a new GPT if
  none are provided.

And I would encourge custodians to follow-up with anything big I've
overlooked.

Thanks for the hard work everyone!  The merge window is now open until
Saturday May 03 2014.

Thanks to you Tom.

A few minor patches were omitted, though :-).

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/337795/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/337796/

Those were actually Acked-by Minkyu Kang, Samsung tree maintainer.

Also, I think, that this doc entry (acked by Simon Glass) would be
valuable for v2014.04 release.

The tarball is out, and also the release statistics (see [1], or short
summary below).

Tom - can you please also update the web page with the schedule of the
next release, i. e. especially the end of the MW?

Thanks!

By the way, ALL software projects are done by iterative  prototyping.
Some companies call their prototypes "releases", that's all.
