The second PreRelease for the 15/November target release is available.

It has been imported into meego.com community OBS as 'next' and is
available from releases.merproject.org

  http://releases.merproject.org/releases/0.20121115.0.2/

The 20121115 target release will provide the gold linker in the toolchains
(except MIPS). The motivation for this is that WebKit is hitting the 32bit 4Gb
RAM barrier when linking. This seems to be a real problem with no known fixes
for 32bit architectures across the WebKit communities; using gold will provide
limited temporary relief and still needs compromises at build/configure/link 
time.

There is a new 1486 cross-compile target to support using sb2 in a consistent
manner for all architectures. Fixes to QDeclarativeText and ShaderEffectItem
have been included.

Qt has been updated to 4.8.3 and numerous other changes and updates too,
connman, m2crypto is now python-M2Crypto, llvm, new alsa-plugins.

This pre-release fixed a couple of issues in Qt.
