handle errors more gracefully - - Reduced dependencies between debugging symbol packages - - Significant cleanup of X server recipes - - Added beginnings of a regression test suite for BitBake - - Numerous improvements and fixes to documentation and others, upgrades to recipes and packages. - - The first major release of the yocto-autobuilder source. - - Eclipse plug-in upgraded to Juno and remote target operations support connections over both tcf and/or ssh. - - Improved bitbake commander plugin. - -------------------- Migration issues - -------------------- See: The "Migrating to a New Yocto Project Release" section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#migration See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_1.3_Migration_notes - -------------------- Know Issues - -------------------- The lttng support in Yocto 1.3 (danny) is broken. The workaround for this problem is to apply a couple small patch fixes that didn't make it into this release to your local poky metadata.
