Hello all,

U-Boot v2011.12 has been released and is available from the git repository and the FTP server.

ISSUES:

- We still have not found a new network custodian yet. I have neither the competence nor the resources to help out much longer.

- Remy Bohmer has signalled that he has no longer the resources to help as USB custodian.

So we need two new custodians (net, USB), ASAP. Are there any volunteers?

The Merge Window for the next release (v2012.03) is open until Mon Jan 16, 2012, 23:59:59 CEST = 24 days remaining.

Release "v2012.03" is scheduled in 80 days — on March 12, 2012.

A little statistics [1] - changes since release v2011.09:

Processed 1530 csets from 146 developers 30 employers found A total of 136501 lines added, 116035 removed (delta 20466)

This is an awful lot, nearly twice as many commits as the second place in the statistics (859 csets for v2010.12) of the last 4 years.
