FEATURES AND UPDATES
====================
* Integration of the Yocto Project and OE core completed.
* Multi-lib chooses different architectures on a per-package basis.
For example,
  32 or 64-bit.  This lowers the footprint and results in higher performance.
* Introduction of Hob, which is a GUI-based, customized image builder.
* Layer tooling error checking and repository collecting and
flattening completed.
* Initial support for X32 completed.  This allows running applications that use
  32-bit pointers in a 64-bit environment (i.e. with 64-bit registers).
  The infrastructure was completed and support exists for minimal images.
* ADT improvements made, which include an Eclipse plug-in that
supports system developers.
* Additional testcases added for ADT.
* Broader BSP support for PREEMPT_RT added.
* BeagleboardXM support pulled in from OE.
* btrfs support added.
* A new Yocto Project Developer Manual provided.
* Disk I/O information is now collected using build statistics.
* The ability to create user/group at preinstall added.
* Shared gcc work directory added.
* Cache redesigned and reimplemented.
* Performance improvement measures, such as splitting libc and
removing perl-native from build dependency
  added.
* Tracing enhanced by adding Systemtap support for user space tracing.
* 3G support added.
* Linux kernel upgraded to 3.0.4.
* gcc upgraded to 4.6.1+svnr178924.
* License infrastructure standardized on SPDX license naming
conventions with improved parser.

KNOWN ISSUES
============
The Yocto project uses bugzilla at http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/
to handle bug tracking. You should always consult that source first when
experiencing any issue with a Yocto Project release.

[1443] segfault of lttng-ust applications in qemuarm: caused by
prelink: on x86-64 Ubuntu host
[1096] Sanity checks should grumble if the distro hasn't been tested
[1489] tcf-agent segmentaion fault cause the re-running remote debug
fail in Eclipse (qemu). Workaround is to restart tcf-agent in qemu
terminal.
[1258] [crownbay] Xorg eats lots of CPU time after standby
[1260] color ghosting on BeagleBoard xM rev C
[1665] [HOB] deb/ipk build not proceed by showing some packages being
built.  The walk around is to set package format to "ipk" in
conf/local.conf in the build directory instead of "rpm" which caused
the issue.
[1452] 32bit kernel generated oprofile data file can not be read by
remote 64bit opreport, the walk around is to NOT "prelink" during
do_rootfs time, the problem is gone.
