 	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
 
-	Infrastructure: Buildroot takes better care now of generating
+	Architectures:
-	predictable permissions in the target filesystem. However,
+
-	existing permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay
+	 - Refactor how the availability of an MMU is described.
-	will no longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to
+	 - Minimal support for Cortex-M3
-	add a permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set
+	 - Minimal support for AArch64 big-endian
-	the required permissions.
+
+	Toolchains:
+
+	 - Add CodeSourcery MIPS 2015.05, remove MIPS 2013.11
+	 - Use uClibc-ng as the default uClibc version, instead of the
+	   official uClibc, which hasn't done any release since 3+
+	   years
+	 - eglibc is now marked as deprecated
+	 - GCC: gcc 4.9.x is now the default and was updated to 4.9.3,
+	   support for gcc 5.x added.
+	 - Binutils: use Binutils 2.24 as the default, 2.25.x series
+	   bumped to 2.25.1, remove old Binutils 2.22.
+	 - Update ARC toolchain components to 2015.06
+	 - Add support for Fortran when building gcc
+
+	Bootloaders:
+
+	 - Support for using the kconfig configuration system in
+	   U-Boot
+
+	New Defconfigs:
+
+	 - VIA VAB-820/AMOS-820
+	 - OLimex OLinuxino A20 Lime
+	 - Many new defconfigs for Atmel evaluation boards:
+	   at91sam9rlek, at91sam9x5ek, sama5d3xek, sama5d4ek, sama5d4
+	   Xplained Ultra, sama5d3 Xplained.
+	 - ACME Systems Aria G25
+	 - WarPboard
+	 - Altera Cyclone 5 Development Board
+	 - Xilinx zc706
+	 - ARC AXS101 and AXS103 Software Development Platforms
+	 - Significant updates to Raspberry Pi / Raspberry Pi 2
+
+	Infrastructure:
+
+	 - Buildroot takes better care now of generating predictable
+	   permissions in the target filesystem. However, existing
+	   permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay will no
+	   longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to add a
+	   permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set the
+	   required permissions.
+	 - Add support for kconfig fragments.
+	 - No longer pass --{enable,disable}-debug to autotools
+	   packages depending on the value of
+	   BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG. BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG now only controls
+	   whether we build with -g or not.
+	 - Support for extracting archives in .lzma in the generic
+	   package infrastructure.
+	 - Remove random-seed file from the default skeleton, since
+	   seeding the entropy pool with a known seed makes more harm
+	   than good.
+	 - In the CVS download helper, add support to use a date as
+	   the version.
+	 - Add support for a per-package <pkg>_STRIP_COMPONENTS
+	   variable, which packages can use to specify how many path
+	   components should be stripped when extracting the tarball.
+	 - Addition of a 'kernel-module' package infrastructure, which
+	   simplifies the packaging of external kernel modules. Many
+	   existing packages are converted to use it.
+	 - Allow bootloaders to be implemented in $(BR2_EXTERNAL)
+	 - Remove /etc/securetty from the default skeleton.
+	 - Migration of sysV initscripts from the default skeleton to
+	   a package called 'initscripts', installed only when Busbox
+	   init or sysvinit are used.
+	 - Migration of the skeleton logic to a proper 'skeleton'
+	   package.
+	 - Addition of a 'linux-tools' infrastructure in the 'linux'
+	   package, to support building user-space tools bundled
+	   within the Linux kernel sources, such as perf and cpupower.
+	 - Usage of backticks instead of make $(shell ...) to execute
+	   shell commands. This allows to delay the evaluation of such
+	   commands when actually needed, and not when expanding the
+	   variables. It is useful to make 'make printvars' less
+	   noisy, and as a preparation to support top-level parallel
+	   build.
+	 - Libtool .la files are not mungled for all package types,
+	   instead of being handled only for packages using the
+	   autotools-package infrastructure.
+	 - Add mechanism to allow packages to express a dependency on
+	   gcc versions. This is needed for packages that use C++11 or
+	   C11 support for example.
+
+	Important package updates:
+
+	 - Complete rework of the matchbox packaging
+	 - Lots of fixes in packages for compatibility with musl and
+	   gcc 5.
+	 - Hash files added to a large number of packages.
+	 - Update a significant number of packages to use a new
+	   hosting, after the announcement of Google Code and
+	   Gitorious closing.
+	 - Major packages needed for SELinux support have been merged,
+	   but the support is not complete yet.
+	 - Significant update of OpenCV to version 3.0, and addition
+	   of lots of eatures.
+	 - Significant update of all packages supporting the GPU and
+	   VPU of i.MX ARM processors.
+	 - Addition of systemd support in a significant number of
+	   packages.
+	 - Qt5 updated to 5.5.0
+	 - Use modular X.org server by default instead of KDrive
+
+	Filesystems:
+
+	 - Complete overhaul of the iso9660 support. Now allows to use
+	   directly IS9660 as the root filesystem format and not only
+	   an initrd, and supports Grub 2 and isolinux in addition to
+	   Grub.
