Whoo! The Beaver’s back with a new stable release, Poky 3.2 (Purple) is available for download now.

Along with tons of updated recipes and an updated toolchain Purple has the following notable features:

* “Canadian Cross” compiling for the standalone toolchain. This enables you to build toolchains for use on hosts with architectures other than the host systems. You can now build an i586 toolchain on your x86_64 machine and vice-versa!

* Packaged staging enabled by default. Packaged staging packages up the build results of each recipe. The next time you run a build which uses one of these packages the package will be installed saving both time and space.

* An updated version of the Bitbake build tool

* QEMU GL passthrough mode which enables QEMU images to use the hosts GL implementation, taking advantage of any available acceleration on x86

* meta-moblin, containing recipes and configuration for the Moblin user experience

The release also includes the usual bug-fixes, tweaks and updates.
