NOTES
====================
The purpose of this release is to provide support for building Bernard
on newer distributions such as Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10.

This support consists of several patches related to:
* cross compilation on hosts with a Linux 3.x kernel
* host libraries changing location (i.e. Debian based systems have moved
libgl to a new location which affects the build of qemu-native)
* Fixing Makefiles to work with the stricter parser shipped with newer
versions of GNU Make

Further we have included security patches from various upstreams including:
* the Linux kernel
* libpng
* Python

Known issues
--------------------
We are unable to fully support openSUSE 11.4 with this release of Poky.
We've discovered an issue where building binutils for a target machine
of the same architecture as the build host can result in nasty host
infection issues which cause the build to fail.
For more details see the bugzilla entry:
