2014.08, Not yet released

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architecture: Powerpc64 BE/LE added, AVR32 deprecated.
	Improved altivec / SPE /atomic instructions
	handling. Additional PowerPC CPU variants added.

	Defconfigs: Atmel SAMA5D3, Congatec QMX6, Lego ev3, TS-5x00,
	qemu-system-xtensa, qemu-aarch64-virt added. A number of
	tweaks to existing ones. lpc32xx defconfigs removed.

	Toolchain: Microblaze support for internal musl toolchain.
	Default to GCC 4.8 for internal toolchain, remove deprecated
	4.3 and 4.6 versions.
	External CodeSourcery / Linaro toolchain updates, option to
	copy gconv libraries for external toolchains.

	Infrastructure: graph-depends: misc fixes, transitive
	dependencies are not drawn by default. Download handling is
	now done using helper scripts. Integrity of downloads can now
	be verified using sha* hashes. Subversion download now uses
	peg revisions for robustness.
	Legal-info: License info of local or overridden packages are
	saved as well. Toolchain packages are also taken into account.
	autotools: Static linking with libtool / v1.5 improvements.
	Gettextize support, similar to autoreconf.
	kconfig package infrastructure added.

2014.05-rc2, Released May 21st, 2014

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Stripping using sstrip has been deprecated.

	BR2_EXTERNAL can now also be used to implement custom
	filesystem types.

	The newly added BR2_GRAPH_DEPTH variable to limit the depth of
	the generated dependency graph has been renamed to
	BR2_GRAPH_DEPS_OPTS, so additional options can be supported in
	the future.

	The virtual package infrastructure will now error out early
	if multiple packages providing the same virtual package has
	been enabled (E.G. opengl). This change requires that the
	packages explicitly declare what virtual package(s) they
	provide.

	Updated/fixed packages: acpid, armadillo, avahi, bellagio,
	btrfs-progs, cairo, clapack, directfb, duma, ecryptfs-utils,
	elfutils, eudev, fbgrab, fio, flann, fluxbox, gdb, gpm,
