Openssl is now a virtual package, which may be provided by
OpenSSL (now renamed to libopenssl) or LibreSSL.

libssh2: there is now an explicit choice of the backend to use
(mbedtls, gnutls or openssl). Previously, the choice was implicit
based on the TLS library that was selected. Now, it is possible to
choose the backend, which is important if several TLS libraries are

#10201: toolchain-wrapper.c:192: (error) Memory leak:
2017.08-rc1, Released August 2nd, 2017
- The skeleton package has been split into multiple packages:
skeleton-sysv (when Busybox or SysV init are used),
skeleton-systemd (when systemd is used), skeleton-none (when
no init system is used) and skeleton-custom (when a custom
skeleton is used). Those packages, except skeleton-custom,
share common logic and data in a new package called
skeleton-common. The skeleton package becomes a virtual
package. This change allows to generate a filesystem that is
compliant with systemd expectations.
- Support for using a read-only filesystem with systemd has
been fixed.
- Major revamp of the gettext handling, with user-visible
effect:
- prior to this revamp, when BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, each
package could decide to enable or not NLS support. When
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was disabled, NLS support was forced off
by passing --disable-nls to packages.
- after this revamp, a new BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS option
controls whether NLS support should be enabled or not in
packages. This option defaults to disabled, which means
that now, NLS support is by default disabled in all
packages.
Therefore, if you need NLS support in packages, you must now
explicitly enable the BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS option.
- The host directory no longer has a usr/ component. This
makes it much more natural to use that directory as an
externally used toolchain. For compatibility with existing
scripts, a usr -> . link is still added.

- Hashes are now checked on tarballs by Buildroot when a
package is sourced from a Git repository.
- Patches are no longer being downloaded from Github, since
auto-generated patches could change over time, and break
hashes. All patches that were downloaded from Github are now
stored in their respective package directories.
- Hash files in packages can now contain hashes for the
license files contained in the package source code. This
allows to detect changes in such license files.
- Binaries in $(TARGET_DIR) are now cleaned up from invalid
RPATHs at the end of the build.
- A new "make sdk" target prepares $(HOST_DIR) to be
relocatable: turns RPATHs in host binaries into relocatable
ones, removes bogus RPATHs from staging binaries/libraries,
and provides a relocate-sdk script that can be executed to
relocate the SDK after installation.
- Addition of utils/genrandconfig which generates a random
configuration based on a set of pre-defined toolchain
configurations (support/config-fragments/autobuild/) and a
random selection of packages. It is now used by the
autobuilders to generate the random configurations.
Filesystems:
- ext2/3/4 filesystems are now generated using mkfs.ext from
e2fsprogs instead of using genext2fs.
Architecture:
- Addition of support for ARM big.LITTLE variants
- Improved MIPS support, with options to select NaN encoding
and FP32 mode.
Toolchain:
- Switch to gcc 6.x as the default gcc version, add support
for gcc 7.x, remove support for gcc 4.8
- Switch to binutils 2.28 as the default binutils version, add
support for binutils 2.29, remove support for binutils 2.26

- Support added for gdb 8.0
- uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.26
- CodeSourcery toolchains for x86 and SuperH have been
removed, they were using a too old glibc version
(2.17). External toolchains with glibc 2.17 or earlier are
no longer supported.
- The version selection in the glibc package has been
removed. Like musl and uClibc-ng, we now use the latest
glibc version.
- Improved support for Xtensa toolchain overlays, which can
now be downloaded.
Tools:
- Numerous improvements to the runtime test infrastructure
- Tests are now executed by Gitlab CI on a regular basis
- Tools that are directly useful to the user have been moved
from support/scripts/ to utils/: brmake, check-package,
get-developers, scancpan, scanpipy, size-stats-compare,
test-pkg.

2017.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2017
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Infrastructure:
- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture
to catch natively built binaries or binaries built for other
architecture variants.
- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.
- 'make printvars' output format has changed to make it easier
to use in scripts. It now has options to quote the variables
and to show the expanded/unexpanded values.
- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The
logic was not working working reliable in all setups as it
depends on the host filesystem behaviour, so instead now the
size has to be specified explicitly (defaults to 60MB).
- The git download infrastructure now ensures that GNU format
tar files are created.
- Fixed a variable clashing issue in the mkusers script with
internal bash variables.
- Fakeroot now links against libacl to fix issues on
distributions using acls.
- Correct permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx when systemd is used
with recent glibc versions.
- br2-external: Improve error reporting.
- A wrapper script for genimage has been added in
support/scripts/genimage.sh for easy use of genimage from
post-image scripts.
- A script to check for common style issues in new packages
before submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package
- Defconfigs are now tested by gitlab-CI instead of Travis:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot
- Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to
support/testing
Toolchain:
- External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain
updated to 2017.03-rc1, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05
- A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain
handling, including C library detection, multilib and ld.so
handling
- Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled
for uClibc-ng
- Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27
Architectures:
- Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.
License handling:
- The package license markings for legal info now uses the
SPDX short identifiers for the license string where possible.
- License info has been improved / added for a number of packages.
Misc:
- Cmake 3.7.x installed on the host is no longer ignored as a
workaround for the RPATH issues has been implemented.
- Docker-engine can now be built statically on an otherwise
dynamic linked build for docker-in-docker setups.
- U-Boot now supports out-of-tree device trees, similar to
Linux
- Nodejs 0.10.x support (and with it, support for <ARMv6) has
been removed as this is now EOL upstream.
New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro,
Nationalchip gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit
defconfig for raspberry pi 3, stm32f429-disc1.
The raspberry pi zero-w and rpi3 compute module are now also
supported by the rpi0 / rpi3 defconfigs, beaglebone green is
supported by the beaglebone defconfig.
Removed defconfig: minnowboard, via imx6 vab820, altera

#9456: mkusers script bash errors
2017.02, Released February 28th, 2017
Minor fixes, mainly fixing autobuilder issues.
Don't use cmake 3.7.x from the build host as it is also
affected by the RPATH handling issues, and instead build our
own if needed.
Updated/fixed packages: assimp, classpath, genimage, mplayer,
mpv, openocd, python-libconfig, qt5base, qt5quickcontrols,
vlc, xterm
