Linaro to release monthly GNU Toolchain integration builds
Linaro Ltd has announced the first GNU Toolchain integration build. "Every six months, Arm releases the official GNU Toolchain release for Arm architectures for the purpose of production. Linaro will bridge the gap between the official releases by delivering monthly integration builds which offer users a snapshot of the upstream build. Although not supported, having access to these builds will allow developers to test features from a pre-built binary as soon as it lands upstream. The builds will also enable companies to check their BSP (Board Support Package) release will work with newer toolchains without having to wait for an official release." |

A Git security release
Several new versions of the Git source-code management system have been
released; they fix a vulnerability that could allow a hostile remote
repository to execute code locally during a clone operation.
Only users with case-insensitive filesystems are affected, reducing
the set of possible targets considerably, but an update still seems like a
good idea. |
