Release Notes
Libgen Update for GNU ARM Embedded Toolchains v1.2018.02
========================================================
Libgen Update for GNU ARM Embedded Toolchains is a tool used to build newlib specific libraries. Instead of a "prebuild" version of a library (a library built with a set configuration when the toolchain is created), the Libgen Update allows an user to have his own "projectbuild" library building configuration, using a custom set of options.
The tool verifies the <toolchain_installation_path>\arm-none-eabi\include\_newlib_version.h file, for the #define _NEWLIB_VERSION <VER> macro. Based on that macro, the right version of the newlib sources are deployed from the installer.

This release is supporting the following GCC Launchpad ARM toolchain versions:
