On behalf of the Linaro Infrastructure team I'm pleased to announce the
release of Linaro Image Tools 0.4.2.
Linaro Image Tools offer a set of tools for use with Linaro images.
Highlights of this release:
* Support for Gumstix Overo boards has been added.
* Support for Freescale mx51evk (Babbage) boards has been fixed.
* Support for ARM Versatile Express boards has been fixed.
* The fdisk command is not required anymore.
* The UUID of the rootfs is not pre-computed anymore; this allows btrfs to
be used for the root filesystem.
* Linaro Image Tools are now released as a standalone tarball; you need
https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra to run setup.py.
* Support for 10.11 / linaro-m images has been restored.
* The hardware pack handling code is now GPLv2+
Linaro Image Tools 0.4.2 is in Ubuntu natty and the source tarball is
available from:

Backports to Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10 will be provided shortly.
