 Changes since U-Boot 1.1.4:
 ======================================================================
 
+* Add GIT version information (commid ID) to untagged U-Boot versions
+
+  As done in the linux kernel, the U-Boot version (U_BOOT_VERSION)
+  of all unreleased (untagged) U-Boot images will be automatically
+  extended upon compiletime with a part of the GIT commit ID and
+  possibly with "dirty" if uncommited changes are detected.
+
+  Here an example for the resulting version:
+  "U-Boot 1.1.4-g3457ac18-dirty"
+
+  The version is now maintained in the toplevel Makefile and the
+  version headers are autogenerated.
+
