release-notes-4.2: add release notes

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

Add new features, upgrades, CVEs, contributors and license changes based upon combing through the commits in the release. I haven't yet noted any known issues. Note: I had to add the upgrades list from the commits rather than from the layer index this time (as the branch comparison feature is unfortunately broken there at the moment), thus the format is a little different.

dev/ref-manual: Document INIT_MANAGER

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

ref-manual: move Initramfs entry from variables to terms

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

It looks like this was accidentally added to the variable glossary instead of the terms list, so move it to the latter. (From yocto-docs rev: c9829dcae18cd2cb5f008081d841ca995b76b8bf) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: add SDK_ARCHIVE_TYPE

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

This appears to have been introduced back in 2019, but we missed documenting it. (From yocto-docs rev: 064a5d84890416362a1a7a337347abbe9afe485d) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: add section link also to buildtools-extended entry

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

I realise it's already in the buildtools entry above, but for completeness let's add it to the buildtools-extended entry as well. (From yocto-docs rev: d9db1d380120e976a30e9eddb86b391084178c94) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: document new patch-status-* QA checks

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

Newly added in 4.2. (From yocto-docs rev: 12e576fb6a932c4089651371c71c61fd1e96cd48) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: add missing QA checks from previous releases

2023-04-22T09:59:12+00:00

This section needs to be kept in sync with the "QA Error and Warning Messages" section (qa-checks.rst) - this is the other direction that tells folks what all of the values in WARN_QA / ERROR_QA are intended to do. Add the ones that we missed adding here for previous releases, and also use a proper reference for the buildhistory class in the entry for version-going-backwards.
