CHANGES

2017.02-rc1, Released February 11th, 2017

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Infrastructure:

	  - numerous improvements to support reproducible builds

	  - new waf-package package infrastructure to support packages
	    that use the Waf build system. 6 packages converted to
	    this infrastructure.

	  - add support for the OpenRISC CPU architecture

	  - merge description of the ARM and ARM64 options, and add
	    support for selecting a specific ARM64 core

	Toolchain:

	  - major rework of the external toolchain support. It is now
	    split into several packages, one per external toolchain,
	    and a common infrastructure.

	  - important fix for musl to prevent a conflict between musl
	    and kernel headers (fixes the build of numerous packages
	    with musl)

	  - uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.22, and therefore enable uClibc
	    for ARM64, mips32r6 and mips64r6

	  - add gdb 7.12.1, and switch to gdb 7.11 as the default

	  - Linaro toolchains updated to 2016.11, ARC toolchain
	    components updated to arc-2016.09, MIPS Codescape
	    toolchains bumped to 2016.05-06, CodeSourcery AMD64 bumped
	    to 2016.11-19

	    architecture

	Fixes all over the tree, including a number of security fixes.

	The move from fakeroot to pseudo unfortunately brought a
	number of issues.  The SELinux issue described in #9386 which
	triggered the move to pseudo has been investigated further and
	a workaround implemented and the pseudo changes reverted.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.11.

	Defconfigs: Updates/fixes for imx28ek, mx6udoo, imx6ulpico,
	olimex a20 olinuxino lime mali, roseapplepi, synopsis aarch64

2016.11-rc2, Released November 13th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Architecture: add support for MIPS XBurst cores; remove MIPS
	support for M5100 cores.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.7.

	CMake support: fix cmake wrapper to properly pass NDEBUG flag.

	Filesystems: use a wrapper to pseudo, to better mimick the behaviour
	of fakeroot; makedevs no longer breaks of the destination already
	exists and is of the correct type/major/minor.

	Defconfigs: a few legacy and broken defconfigs have been removed
	because they now fail to build: kb9202_defconfig, mini2440_defconfig,
	freescale_p2020ds, qmx6, calao*, atmel_sama5d4ek. Other defconfigs
	have been updated: nanopi-neo, olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali,

	atmel_at91sam9rlek, atmel_at91sam9g20dfc, atmel_at91sam9g45m10ek,
	atmel_sama5d3xek.

2016.11-rc1, Released November 3rd, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	It is now possible to specify multiple BR2_EXTERNAL
	directories. The required files in a BR2_EXTERNAL directory
	have changed to accomodate this feature. Refer to the
	documentation for details of how to update them. External
	trees now have a name and a description. Also, it is possible
	to override a defconfig in the external tree.

	The default skeleton now uses UID 65534 for the "nobody"
	user instead of UID 99, like most distros do. See
	https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ for a complete discussion.
	Programs and configuration files that explicitly refer to UID
	99 will have to be updated.

	When the build environment already has a suitable cmake version
