 ********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.1 Beta 1 (October 22, 2013)
+- U-Boot:
+  - Fix possible uninitialised array member issue in serial number to
+      hexadecimal coded decimal conversion routine (e.g. as used for
+      /proc/cpuinfo in Linux).
+- Linux kernel:
+  - Fix several HDMI hang issues.
+  - Support default watchdog API (see
+      http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/watchdog-(linux)).
+  - Disable magic SysRq key configuration as this is not only a potential
+       security thread but can cause serious trouble if for some reason UART pins
+       are left floating and therefore cause unexpected break conditions.
+  - Add DDR speed definition for 400 and 800 MHz.
+  - HDMI: Retry EDID reads up to 4 times until failing.
+
+- rootfs / oe-core:
+  - OpenEmbedded: layers updated to dylan
+      xserver update to version 1.14
+      gtk+ updated to 2.24.15
+      firefox update to 10.0.11esr
+      connman now has a command line tool, connmanctl
+      split the meta-lxde layer from oe-tworaz and serve it from
+        git.toradex.com
+  - NEON enabled build
+  - hdmi: add udev rule to start an X output on hotplug
+  - feed-config: use the new feed armv7ahf-vfp-neon
+  - evdev: backport V2.8.1 from dora to get a fix for multitouch events
+  - burnflash: script for configblock generation
+  - added packages: ethtool
+  - burnflash: change the Colibri image names to start with Colibri
+  - burnflash: add sanity checks
+

+
+Known Issues:
+- LVDS aka TFTLCD resolution hard-coded in kernel to VESA VGA resolution, 
+    comments with timings for other resolutions provided
+- connecting an analogue mic to the on module codec resets the codec, so that 
+    neither headphone out nor mic in works anymore. Workaround: Have mic 
+    connected before boot or change the output source between DAC/LineIn
+- certain low-speed USB devices might not get detected
+- on first boot the resizing process adversely affects system performance for 
+    the first few minutes until completed
