As a lot of you have already noticed. 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. It will reduce the noise level of the sparse
warnings.
So there you have it. The official announcement of the sparse 0.5.0.
