-  This release focuses on a few new features.
-  <ul>
-    <li>
-      The basic port for the FreeScale ARM920T i.MX1 processor on the
-      Freescale MX1ADS board.  Coding is complete for this port, but it is
-      has not yet fully integrated.
-    </li>
-    <li>
-      Extended I2C and SPI interface definitions
-    </li>
-    <li>
-      Add basic support for C++ applications.  Very simple C++ applications
-      can now be built against NuttX without any external libraries.  At
-      present, only the most primitive C++ programs are supported, but it
-      is hoped that this support will be extended in future releases.
-    </li>
-  </ul>
+  The release features support for the Micromint Eagle-100 development board.
+  This board is based around, the Luminary LM3S6918 MCU.
+  This is the first ARM Cortex-M3 architecture supported by Nuttx.
+  This initial, basic port includes timer and serial console with configurations to execute the NuttX OS test and to run the <a href="NuttShell.html">NuttShell (NSH)</a>.
+  Work is still underway on this port and current plans are to have I2C, SSI, MMC/SD, and and Ethernet driver in the 0.4.7 release.
 </p>
 <p>
-  See the Changelog for a detailed description of these changes.
+  Additional work was done on the MXADS i.MX1 port, however, that work has been set aside
+  until I complete work on the Eagle-100 (I also need to come up with a 3V power supply).
+</p>
+<p>
+  Other changes in this release include: Extensions to the SPI interface definition in order to handle 9-bit interfaces to displays.
+  Several bugs were fixed (see the <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a> for a complete list of changes).

-
-	* Add an enumeration argument to the SPI chip select and status methods so
-	  that the interface can handle more than one device.
-	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add a generic SPI driver for all eZ80 boards.
-	* Add a setmode() method to the SPI interface to handle parts with differing
-	  mode requirements.
-	* include/nuttx/i2c.h: Defined a standard I2C interface
-	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add an I2C driver.
-	* eZ8Encore!: Add an I2C driver.
-	* Add support for the Freescale i.MX1/L architecture and a configuration for
-	  the Freescale MX1ADS development board.
-	* examples/helloxx: Added a simple C++ hello world example
-	* include/css: Added std header files
-	* libxx: New C++-only directory provides support for minimal C++ applications
+nuttx-0.4.6 2009-xx-xx Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
+
+	* Change SPI interface so that is can accomodate interfaces where the
+	  number of bits per word is greater an 8 (such as with many 9-bit display
+	  interfaces). -- this might have broken a few things which will need to
+	  be retested!
+	* arch/arm/src/imx: Added i.MX SPI driver
+	* SPI: Add a method to set the number of bits per word.  Also add an
+	  alternative interface for so that (eventually) I can phase the sndblock
+	  and recvblock methods and replace them with a single exchange method
+	* Build:  objcopy fails with toolchains that use newer GCC and binutils.  The
+	  following arguments need to be included in the objcopy command line "-R .note
+	  -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment"  This has bin fixed in arch/arm/src/Makefile,
+	  but other architectures may have the same problem.  Thanks to Dave Marples
+	  for verifying this.
+	* configs/eagle100/ostest: Added support for the MicroMint Eagle100 board. 
+	  This board has a Luminary LM3S6918 Cortex-M3. Added a configuration to build
+	  examples/ostest.
+	* arch/arm/src/lpc214x: Add configuration option to enable fast GPIO (vs.
+	  legacy, "slow" GPIO) for LPC214x.
+	* arch/arm: Restructured the arch/arm directory structure to better suppor ARM
+	  and Cortex-M3.
+	* sched/: pthread_create() must return a (non-negated) errno value on failure.
+	* configs/eagle100/nsh: Add a NuttShell (NSH) configuration for the Eagle-100
