["Yann E. MORIN" <yann dot morin dot 1998 at free dot fr>]

Hello all!

I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.15.0!

As usual, there has been quite a number of improvements, new features,
and bug fixes all around. The most notable changes are listed below:

- features:
  - new debug level was added to uClibc
  - the linker hash-style can be configured in gcc if binutils supports it
- updated components:
  - linux: 3.3.4; long-term versionss updated
  - gcc: vanilla 4.7.0, Linaro 4.7; other versions updated
  - eglibc: 2_15
  - uClibc: 0.9.33 and 0.9.33.1
  - gdb: Linaro 7.4
- infrastructure:
  - canadian-cross has seen a complete overhaul

This marks the beginning of the 1.15 maintenance branch, and the end of
the previous maintenance branch. As always, comments and suggestions
are most welcome!
