v1.9.0 Release note Older releases

I’m pleased to announce EmbToolkit v1.5.0 release.

This release brings several improvements and reorganization of the build system internals.
The build system now supports build of waf based packages.
Beside eglibc, glibc and uClibc, it is now also possible to use musl as C library.
