Features
____________________


* linux-yocto 3.10 kernel
* gcc 4.8.1
* eglibc 2.18
* 180+ other recipe upgrades
* Improvements in bitbake startup and parse time ( ~25% improvement in
startup time, ~10% improvement in overall parse time)
* Eclipse plug-in added CMake project support and is upgraded to Kepler
release. The code base has also gone through major refactoring to better
support remote interaction.
* Added gstreamer 1.0 (default version built is still 0.10)
* Added bluez 5 (default version built is still 4)
* New genericx86 / genericx86-64 hardware reference BSPs replacing atom-pc
* New "buildtools-tarball" providing certain tools (python, git, chrpath,
tar, make) for host distributions whose own versions of those tools are
broken or too old to be compatible with the build system
* New automated runtime testing framework to run tests written in Python on
images using QEMU
* Support for /run from FHS 3 draft specification
* BusyBox binary is now split into suid and non-suid portions, allowing the
replacement of tinylogin
* Added ability to easily build initramfs binaries (kernel + initramfs
image) and pair a rootfs image recipe with an initramfs image recipe
* Added ability to explicitly exclude one or more packages from an image
* Implementation of the tardis bbclass (Time And Relative DIsk Space) which
allows disk images to take up an unlimited amount of space on limited disk
space.
* Image creation now creates real ext3/ext4 filesystem images instead of
creating as ext2 and upgrading
* Initial support for partitioning and advanced image creation (using new
"wic" script)
* Added inc file to enable compiler and linker flags that enhance security
(conf/distro/include/security_flags.inc)
* Properly split SDKs for different machines that have the same/similar
architecture
* Added a "test-dependencies" script to detect missing or auto-enabled
dependencies
* Added ability to define additional users for an image not associated with
a specific package (EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS)
* Enabled ptest for ethtool, libxml2, perl, busybox, bzip2, python, kmod,
bash (GPLv2 version), strace
* Easier customisation of DISTRO_FEATURES if building your custom distro
configuration on top of poky.conf
* Added EFI support to ISO image generation
* Bitbake wrapper script removed
* Initial build of pseudo is now handled internally
* Usability enhancements in Hob
* Usability enhancements in buildhistory command line tools
* Added beginnings of memory resident bitbake
* Initial prototype of license scanning and SPDX license documentation
generation
* Added "A Closer Look at the Yocto Project Development Environment" chapter
to the Reference Manual giving an in-depth look at the build process.

Known Issues
____________________

* Bug 5311 - can't use PACKAGE_EXCLUDE with an ipk image based
* Bug 5182/5183/5211 - [Beagleboard xM]X/Network Interface/USB do not work
with 3.10 kernel
* Bug 5351 - genericx86 auth.err getty[615]: tcgetattr: Input/output
* Bug 5354 - Incorrect path set for ppc adt in x86 machines. Workaround
Note: ADT issue with ppc ADT toolchain for spe enabled targets not
coexisting well with the non-spe standard version. To work around, use
either one set of ppc targets or the other but don't build both. If you
need both, put one in a separate ADT repository.
* Known issue with feature #3847: New partitioning description and tooling
There is a new tool for image creation called wic which is available as a
prototype in this release.
We encourage experimentation and feedback from the community for wic;
please send email to yocto@... if you have questions or run
into problems.
* Due to a bad implementation of libchameleon in some host distributions,
tardis.bbclass will sometimes turn an embedded device into a large blue
police box. Please send patches to the maintainer,
Tim.E.Lord@...
