[U-Boot] [STATUS] v2011.09 released, Merge Window is OPEN

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello all,

U-Boot v2011.09 has been released and is available from the git
repository and the FTP server.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- Some ARM boards / drivers still have problems when caches are
  enabled and/or have therefore disabled caches in their config files.

- We still have not found a new network custodian yet.  Are there any
  volunteers?

The Merge Window for the next release (v2011.12) is open until
Sat Oct 15, 2011, 23:59:59 CEST = 16 days remaining. 

The next release v2011.12 is scheduled for December 12, 2011.
