2018.05.1, Released July 20th, 2018

	Important / security related fixes.

	U-Boot: Ensure host version of ncurses is picked up and not
	host-ncurses built by buildroot, as that otherwise causes
	widechar/non-widechar conflicts and corrupted menuconfig
	menus.

	Linux: Enable CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS when perf is enabled.

	Toolchain: ARC tools updated to arc-2018.03.

	pkg-stats: Fix python 3.x compatibility.

	dl-wrapper: Fix support for URIs containing '+', fix
	no-check-hash for inferred site method.

	Defconfigs: Raspberrypi3: Bump rootfs size, Minnowboard-max:
	Support ethernet on Turbot variant.

	Updated/fixed packages: audit, bind, btrfs-progs, cifs-utils,
	clamav, collectd, coreutils, docker-containerd, dos2unix,
	edid-decode, file, gcc, gdb, gnupg, gnupg2, heimdal, hidapi,

2018.05, Released June 1st, 2018

	Minor fixes.

	Download: Work around for hanging connections for packages
	from CVS, by adding a 10 minute max timeout.

	Updated/fixed packages: binutils, clang, dash, expect, git,
	glibc, jpeg-turbo, libjpeg, log4cplus, openvmtools, xen,

	Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):

	#11051: runtime issue on STM32 with usage of binutils 2.29.x

2018.05-rc3, Released May 28th, 2018

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Toolchain: ARC tools updated to arc-2018.03-rc2.

	Fs: Ensure hard links in TARGET_DIR are correctly copied for
	filesystem input. With the recent changes to the file system
	generation logic, hard links were "expanded" in file system
	images leading to bloated rootfs images for setups with hard
	links.

	Infrastructure: Error out for packages using the 'local'
	method but forgetting to specify <pkg>_SITE.

	Build rpcgen for the host when needed to support distributions
	no longer shipping rpcgen with glibc (E.G. recent Fedora).

	Updated/fixed packages: autofs, bash-completion, binutils,
	busybox, cjson, elf2flt, libcoap, libcurl, libtirpc, lrzsz,
	poppler, procps-ng, qt-webkit-kiosk, quota, samba4, xfsprogs

	Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):

	#11031: ld-elf2flt: host/bin/ld.real': execvp: No such file..
	#11036: C compiler cannot create executables
	#11046: Git package binaries are ~180MB (compared to ~20MB in..

2018.05-rc2, Released May 22nd, 2018

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Dependencies: Check that the current working directory (.)
	isn't listed in PATH as that causes various build issues.

	Manual: Clarify that git branch names may not be used as
	version identifiers. This has never been supported, but was
	kind of working (with some limitations) before the git
	download rework - Now it does not work at all.

	Linux: Ensure host version of ncurses is picked up and not
	host-ncurses built by buildroot, as that otherwise causes
	widechar/non-widechar conflicts and corrupted menuconfig
	menus.

	Packages: Renamed a number of package options not prefixed
	with BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for consstency.

	Download infrastructure: Fix file:// protocol handling after
	download rework.

	Updated/fixed packages: acl, apr-util, asterisk, attr,
	bluez5_utils, cifs-utils, clamav, clang, cups-filters,
	dahdi-linux, exim, faketime, gdb, go, gst1-plugins-bad,
	imx-mkimage, ipsec-tools, jamvm, janus-gateway,
	jquery-ui-themes, libcap, libcurl, libftdi, libkcapi, libkrb5,
	libmediaart, libmodbus, libmodplug, libmpd,

	libnfnetlink, libnss, liboauth, libogg, libosip2,
	libpam-radius-auth, libpcap, libpciaccess, llvm, log4cplus,

	xen, zmqpp, znc, zstd

	Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):

	#10986: Installing package attr when already supplied by...
	#11011: BUildroot for Raspberry Pi 2
	#11016: Wrong compiler used for external user host packages

2018.05-rc1, Released May 9th, 2018

	Toolchain: glibc bumped to 2.27, musl bumped to 1.1.19,
	uClibc-ng 1.0.30, Linux kernel headers bumped to 4.16.x.

	Architecture: support for the Blackfin architecture has been
	removed, as it was removed from Linux upstream, poorly
	maintained in binutils/gdb, and abandoned by Analog Devices.

	Numerous packages updated to have hashes for their license
	files.

	Systemd can now be built with uClibc toolchains.

	Linux: addition of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_LIBELF and
