    2121 *  Thanks again to Ralf, it is possible to provide target specific versions of the development tools. This is important when GCC drops support for an old architecture or we are avoiding target specific bugs in a particular tool version. Nominally, most RTEMS targets will use the same tools and they have been upgraded to the following versions:
    22   *  autoconf 2.61
    23   *  automake 1.10
     22  *  autoconf 2.62
     23  *  automake 1.10.1
    2424  *  binutils 2.18
    25   *  gcc 4.3.x for C/C++ with newlib 1.16.0
     25  *  gcc 4.3.2 for C/C++ with newlib 1.16.0
    2626  *  gdb 6.8

    134134 *  Non-volatile filesystem support from [wiki:ChrisJohns ChrisJohns]
    135135
    136  *  Promotion of libmisc components to "first class citizens". This involves changing the name of routines to reflect RTEMS naming standards, adding documentation to the Users Guide and where appropriate integrating them more tightly with the RTEMS SuperCore or API implementations.
    137   *  Components left TBD
    138 
    139136 *  Malloc Family refactoring and improvements.  Previously, these routines were in only a couple of files.  Now they are in multiple files.  In addition, the malloc() features that were previously now conditionally compiled can be enabled at run-time. This includes statistics and setting all malloc'ed memory to 0xc5c5c5c5 to ease debugging.
