## New features

- [#32] the Cortex-M7 specific FPU definitions `fpv5-d16` & `fpv5-sp-d16` were added to the Settings page;
- [#33] the toolchain prefix for Linaro AArch64 bare-metal ELF was updated from `aarch64-none-elf-` to `aarch64-elf-`; the change is effective for newly created projects; old projects require to reselect the toolchain for the update to be effective.

## Addressed bugs

- none.

## Template issues

- in certain conditions, the linker complained about a missing symbol (`__dso_handle`); added as weak to `_syscalls.c`.

## Other changes

- none.

## Known problems

- due to a copy/paste error, the default selection for the F7 processor is wrong and projects apparently configured for STM32F745xx are actually for the non-existing STM32F707xx and the build fails; the problem was fixed in the 2.11.1 release; as an workaround, explicitly select the processor even for STM32F745xx; fixed in 2.11.1-201512141335.
