********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.6.1 Beta 1 (September 29, 2016)
+
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - add fdt_fixup environment variable as a hook to modify device tree
+ - configblock: add 'Apalis iMX6 Dual 1GB IT'
+- Linux kernel:
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - add support for RS-485 (#19323)
+- Linux user-space:
+ - deploy GPIOConfig V1.4 which corrects the iomux offset of PAD_SD4_DATA6
+ - improve fw_printenv/setenv concerning /etc/fw_env.config
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+ - split meta-toradex into BSP layers meta-toradex-bsp-common and
+ meta-toradex-nxp as well as the software layer meta-toradex-demos
+ - rename the parent directory from stuff to layers
+ - mv from build/out*/deploy to deploy
+ - rename TMPDIR from out to tmp
+ - deploy qt5 tools into the sdk as part of optional angstrom-qt5-x11-image.bb
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Apalis_iMX6_LinuxImageV2.6.1Beta1_20160929

+Known Issues:
+- PCIe suspend/resume issue
+- some USB Thumb drives don't work well in U-Boot
+- USB hub on Evaluation Board not enabled in U-Boot
+- on first boot the resizing process adversely affects system performance for
+ the first few minutes until completed
+- Display resolution can be set for some output configurations, set the U-Boot
+ environment variable vidargs accordingly.
+- X uses only the fb0 device
+- Ethernet aka TFTP update requires manual splitting of the root.ext3 file
+ which can be taken care of by the -c argument of our update.sh script.
+- License texts do not get deployed to the root file system.
