The sparse 0.5.0 has been +tagged and upload to the kernel.org for a while. + +One of the most noticeable change of the sparse 0.5.0 is the +license. The sparse project has finally move to the MIT license. +Thanks for the hard work of Dan Carpenter and Franz Schrober, +who contact and collect permissions from the sparse developers. +We actually manage to get *all* developer's blessing on the MIT +license. + +This release also has some enhancement matching the latest +kernel source annotations.
