FYI:
I just released U-Boot version 1.1.4. Please see below for the list of changes since the previous "official" release (U-Boot 1.1.3).
NOTE: this is the last release of U-Boot with full support of the CVS repository at SourceForge. U-Boot development has been switched from CVS to git as primary SCM system. CVS support may be dropped in the near future (at the moment the CVS repository still gets updated for backup purposes). For details hot to access the git repository please see http://www.denx.de/en/Software/GIT or browse it online at http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git

====================================================================== Changes for U-Boot 1.1.4: ======================================================================
* Changes to Yellowstone & Yosemite 440EP/GR eval boards: - Changed GPIO setup to enable another address line in order to address 64M of FLASH. - Added function sdram_tr1_set to auto calculate the tr1 value for the DDR. Patch by Steven Blakeslee, 12 Dec 2005
* MPC5200: Set PCI retry counter to 0 = infinite retry; The default of 255 is too short for slow devices. Patch by Martin Nykodym, 12 Dec 2005
* Change port configuration for O2DNT (CODEC1 on PSC1).
* Fix register for PCI async mode on PPC440EP Patch by Youngchul Bang, 08 Dec 2005
* Fix U-Boot linking problems (add .eh_frame segment to linker script) This segment may be required by some libgcc.a functions (like _udivdi3).
* Fix DPRAM offset/size for MPC8541/8555. Simplify TQM85xx Makefile handling.
* Fix data overflow (typo?) in rtc/ds1302.c
* Fix U-Boot compilation for MIPS boards using ELDK 4.0
* Add support for TQM8541/8555 boards, TQM85xx support reworked: - Support for TQM8541/8555 boards added. - Complete rework of TQM8540/8560 support. - Common TQM85xx code now supports all current TQM85xx platforms (TQM8540/8541/8555/8560). - DDR SDRAM size detection added. - CAS latency default values can be overwritten by setting "serial#" to e.g. "ABC0001 casl=25" -> CAS latency 2.5 will be used. If problems are detected with this non default CAS latency, the default values will be used instead. - Flash size detection added. - Moved FCC ethernet driver initialization behind TSEC driver init -> TSEC is first device. Patch by Stefan Roese, 30 Nov 2005
* Add support for AMCC 440SP, add support for AMCC Luan 440SP eval board. Patch by John Otken, 23 Nov 2005
* Changed PPC44x startup message (cpu info, speed...) to common style: On PPC44x platforms, the startup message generated in "cpu.c" only comprised the ppc type and revision but not additional information like speed etc. Those speed infos where printed in the board specific code. This new implementation now prints all CPU infos in the common cpu specific code. No board specific code is needed anymore and therefore removed from all current 44x implementations. Patch by Stefan Roese, 27 Nov 2005
* Adjust TQM834x PHY addresses for latest hardware revision.
* Increase malloc arena on TQM5200 board to 256 kB. With 64 kb uniform flash sector size the old value of 128 kB was too small.
* Fix miiphy global data initialization (problem on 4xx boards when no ethaddr is assigned). Initialization moved from miiphy_register() to eth_initialize().
Based on initial patch for 4xx platform by Matthias Fuchs.
* Remove unnnecessary #include <linux/types.h> from include/asm-*/u-boot.h
* Allow use of include/image.h and include/asm-*/u-boot.h in proprietary code. The COPYING file was extended to make clear that these files can be used in non-GPL code, too. Also, a corresponding note was placed in the headers of the affected files.
* Add support for Prodrive P3P440 board: - Added onboard PPC440 DDR autodetection in cpu/ppc/sdram.c - CFG_FLASH_QUIET_TEST added to use the common CFI driver for bank autodetection Patch by Stefan Roese, 22 Nov 2005
* Change all '$(...)' variable references into '${...}' which makes the environment compatible with the hush shell. WARNING: Support for the old '$(...)' syntax will be discontinued in a later version.
* Minor changes to init flags in TQM834x PCI.
* Fix Bamboo DDR SDRAM initialization (problem with onboard SDRAM) Patch by Stefan Roese, 15 Nov 2005
* New PPC 405EP board added: CMS700 Added CONFIG_NET_MULTI for VOM405 board. Added reset_phy() for VOM405 board. Patch by Matthias Fuchs, 09 Nov 2005
* Updated PCI mapping for esd CPCI2DP board. Add support for error LED. Patch by Matthias Fuchs, 07 Nov 2005
* Fix MPC85xx PCI support (pci_register_hose() before pci config access) Patch by Stefan Roese, 07 Nov 2005
* Correct PPC Timebase register definitions (SPRN_TBRL...) Patch by Stefan Roese, 07 Nov 2005
* Adjust bd->bi_flashstart on Yellowstone & Yosemite to correct size Patch by Stefan Roese, 05 Nov 2005
* Additional fix for external IRQ config on Yellowstone & Yosemite Patch by Stefan Roese, 03 Nov 2005
* Add support for Ocotea pass 3 with 440GX Rev. F Patch by Stefan Roese, 01 Nov 2005
* Fix external IRQ configuration on Yellowstone & Yosemite Patch by Stefan Roese, 28 Oct 2005
* Add support for multiple PHYs. Tested on the following boards: cmcpu2 (at91rm9200/ether.c) PPChameleon (ppc4xx/4xx_enet.c) yukon (mpc8220/fec.c) uc100 (mpc8xx/fec.c) tqm834x (mpc834x/tsec.c) with EEPRO100 lite5200 (mpc5xxx/fec.c) with EEPRO100 card (drivers/eepro100.c) Main changes include: common/miiphyutil.c - miiphy_register routine was added to allow multiple PHYs to be registered - miiphy_read and miiphy_write are now defined in this file, and require additional argument (char *devname) - other miiphy_* routines also require additional device name argument ../lib_i386/board.c ../lib_ppc/board.c Calling reset_phy() was moved to be executed *after* eth_initialize(). This is necessary as now some of the implementations of reset_phy() may need to use miiphy_reset() which is not allowed before eth_initialize() as eth_initialize registers all required miiphy_* routines. Tested on IP860 and PHY initializes properly after this change.
* Correct includes for flat tree builder.
* Fix conflicting types (flash_write()) in trab auto_update.c.
* Add PCI support for the TQM834x board.

* Cleanup
* Add support for NetSilicon NS7520 processor. Patch by Art Shipkowski, 12 May 2005
* Add support for AP1000 board. Patch by James MacAulay, 07 Oct 2005
* Eliminate hard-coded address of Ethernet transfer buffer on at91rm9200 Patch by Anders Larsen, 07 Oct 2005
The Atmel errata #11 states that the transfer buffer descriptor table must be aligned on a 16-word boundary. As it turned out, this is insufficient - it seems the table must be aligned on a boundary at least as large as the table itself (in Linux this is not an issue - the table is aligned on a PAGE_SIZE (4096) boundary).

* Fix warnings for PCI code on ixp Patch by Joe lgxue@yahoo.com, 13 Jan 2005
* virtex2 fix for bogus download error messages The virtex2 FPGA download code watches for init going active during a download of config data as an error condition. init also goes active after a configuration is finished in concert with the done signal. So far, the code does not check for done active until all of the configuration data is sent. If configuration data has a few extra pad bytes at the end, this would cause an error message even though the download had suceeded. NOTE: virtex2 slave serial and spartan2 versions may still have the same problem. Patch by Andrew Dyer, 12 Jan 2005
* Optimize flash_make_cmd in drivers/cfi_flash.c for little endian Fix "WARNING: flash_make_cmd: unsuppported LittleEndian mode" message when probing for nonexistent flash in little endian mode. As a side effect more efficient and smaller code is generated, which is always a Good Thing (TM). Patch by Ladislav Michl, 24 Sep 2005
