CHANGES

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
	show-info' to it.

	Go: Modules handling. The module name must be specified using
	<pkg>_GOMOD.

	BR2_EXTERNAL: Support for defining skeleton and init system
	packages in external trees.

	meson: Correct SDK cross-compilation.conf file when
	per-package builds were used to build SDK.

	systemd: Use /run rather than /var/run for PID files in units.

	Fakeroot scripts (BR2_ROOTFS_POST_FAKEROOT_SCRIPT) are now run
	after all finalization hooks (including pre-rootfs) to ensure
	they can override any late configuration done by packages.

	support/script/pycompile: Rework logic to ensure .pyc files
	contain absolute target paths, fixing code inspection at
	runtime when executed with cwd != '/'.

	support/scripts/setlocalversion: Correct Mercurial output to
	match behaviour with Git.

	support/scripts/apply-patches.sh: Use patch
	--no-backup-if-mismatch, so we no longer blindly have to
	remove *.orig files after patching, fixing issues with
	packages containing such files.

	nanopi-m4, Hardkernel odroid-c2, Kontron SMARC-sAL28, NXP
