Release Notes for Alpine 1.7.11

Some highlights:
== Busybox 1.8.x ==
Upgraded to busybox-1.8.x series. Many applets have fixes and the following new applets are introduced:
* microcom
* kbd_mode
* bzip2
* pgrep
* pkill
== mdev udates ==
mdev scripts updated to work without the SYSFS_DEPRECATED options in kernel. Unfortunally, disabling this kernel option broke rtc and sound drivers.
Updated config so dvb devices are in the correct place.
== kernel 2.6.23 by default ==
Switched to kernel 2.6.23 since grsecurity does not add fixes to 2.6.22 series. 
== e2fsprogs package split ==
Many packages needs libuuid found in e2fsprogs. This library is very small and the e2fsprogs is rather big. So libuuid was taken out to its own package.
== syslog-ng removed ==
The syslog-ng package contains security bugs. Since newer supported releases does not compile with uclibc I simply removed syslog-ng package. If busybox syslog is not good enough, you might want to look at the metalog package.
Removed packages:
dmapi-2.2.5
openswan25-2.5.15-r1
openswan25-doc-2.5.15-r1
syslog-ng-1.6.11-r1
