2021.02-rc1, released February 9th, 2021

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Toolchain: Default to binutils 2.35.2, add 2.36.1, drop
	2.33.x. Fix GCC 10.x ARC adc/sbc pattern handling, Update ARM
	toolchains to 10.2-2020.11 release.

	Architectures: ARC: add support for generic HS48 processor,
	PPC: drop PPC601 support, which was removed from Linux 5.10.

	Vulnerability scanning: The CVE checking logic has been
	extended to match packages based on CPE (Common Platform
	Enumeration) IDs for more accurate matching, and CPE
	identifiers have been added for a large amount of packages.

	Download: Rework the tarball creation logic (E.G. when a
	package is fetched from a git/svn repo) to no longer require a
	host-tar <= 1.29. To differ between the old and the new
	format, the new tarballs have gained a -br1 suffix
	(<pkg>-<version>-br1.tar.gz).

	Important / security related fixes.

	Download: Ensure git submodules are correctly fetched if

	host variant is downloaded first.

	having libatomic. Bootlin PowerPC-440 FP toolchain updated for
	SecurePLT fix.

2020.11-rc1, released November 4th, 2020

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architectures: Support for IBM s390x

	Toolchain: use Secure-PLT rather than BSS-PLT for PowerPC
	32. Binutils 2.35.1 added, now defaulting to 2.34. ARC
	2020.09-release toolchain. GCC 7.x dropped. RISC-V support for
	uclibc-ng. Support for Bootlin external toolchains.

	SELinux support improvements: File security contexts are now
	set when the file systems are created, so there is no need to
	run restorecon on first boot / read only rootfs is supported.
	An optimized / stripped refpolicy SELinux policy is now
	used. Packages can enable additional refpolicy modules using
	<pkg>_SELINUX_MODULES.

	support/scripts/cve-checker: Utility script to check for known
	CVEs in just the packages enabled in a Buildroot configuration
	rather than all packages, by passing the output of 'make
