[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2014.04 released

Hey all,
I've pushed v2014.04 out to the repository and tarballs should exist soon.
As always, lots of nice little fixes here and there and everywhere. Since I've had a few requests to include some sort of ChangeLog (other than what git spits out), here's what I've come up with:
- Improve 'test' command, add -e for file exists on FAT and ext4 (and ext2/3 when using ext4 support). - Switch to Kbuild for build system. - tools-only build target, to build just the host tools - Slight build speed improvement - Can no longer do 'make fooboard' but can do 'make fooboard_config all' - Under the hood DFU improvements - New arc architecture support - Sandbox now has a display - Further device tree usage on Samsung platforms - Better HW RAND support, generate UUIDs when making new a new GPT if none are provided.
And I would encourge custodians to follow-up with anything big I've overlooked.
Thanks for the hard work everyone! The merge window is now open until Saturday May 03 2014.

Hi Tom,
And I would encourge custodians to follow-up with anything big I've overlooked.

A few minor patches were omitted, though :-).
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/337795/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/337796/
Those were actually Acked-by Minkyu Kang, Samsung tree maintainer.
Also, I think, that this doc entry (acked by Simon Glass) would be valuable for v2014.04 release.

The tarball is out, and also the release statistics (see [1], or short summary below).
Tom - can you please also update the web page with the schedule of the next release, i. e. especially the end of the MW?
Thanks!
