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
	socdk/sockit
