- --------------------
Features
- --------------------

 - HOB redesigned with new user interface and work flow. HOB is a GUI based
   tool for users to customize and build an embedded Linux image in a more
   intuitive and easier way.
 - Build appliance, which is a set of changes and enhancements to enable
   users to build a virtual machine image running Linux built with the Yocto
   Project. Within the Linux running on the virtual machine, users can
   customize and build their own customized embedded Linux images.
 - Error message handling improvement, making error message more efficient,
   useful and accurate to users.
 - New kernel update to Linux 3.2.11.
 - Kernel usability scripts, BSP tools to make building BSP's easier.
 - Package history data collection and analysis tools.
 - Incremental image generation after customization of an existing image built
   previously.
 - Package history data collection and analysis tools.
 - Implementation of the MSG (Magic Smoke Generator) which enables the on board
   generation of "magic smoke" to enhance the longevity of embedded device
   components.
 - Enhancement to Bitbake commander Eclipse plugin, Disk space monitoring,
   multilib improvement, etc.
 - Improvements to FLOSS compliance tools which allow more granularity of
   license definitions, the generation of image manifests/license manifests
   and the implementation of source archiving functionality.

- --------------------
Known Issues
- --------------------

 - Bug 2256 - kernel menuconfig confusion with sstate.

   If you change the config during a build, bitbake may not detect the change
   and will not rebuild the kernel. After changing the config, be sure to
   force a kernel recompile:

      $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig

      $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c compile -f; bitbake virtual/kernel

 - Bug 1858 - Rootfs creation broken when using package_deb as primary
              PACKAGE_CLASSES with non Debian-OS build system.

   This is a known issue that rootfs  creation is broken when using package_deb
   as primary PACKAGE_CLASSES with non Debian-OS build system.  The work around
   is to use a Debian system to create the rootfs if you need to using
package_deb
   as primary PACKAGE_CLASSES.   But for package generation e.g. for
package feed,
   etc. it works fine on both Debian-OS or non Debian-OS.

 - Due to production processes, the Yocto Project documentation
extracted from the
   Yocto Project 1.2 Release tarball is not as up-to-date as the documentation
   cloned from the poky source Git repository and the Yocto Project's
Documentation
   website.  If you want the most up-to-date documentation for the
Yocto Project 1.2
   Release, do one of the following:

    * git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
    * Use the current set of documents from
http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation
