CHANGES

2016.08-rc1, Released August 6th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Toolchain: Fortran support added. eglibc support removed, musl
	support no longer experimental. Blackfin and Microblaze
	support for internal uClibc-ng toolchain, m68k/coldfire
	improvements. The check for unsafe (build host) directories
	access (/usr/include and /usr/lib) is now enabled by default.
	Unused locales are now purged by default to save space (and
	the default list of locales shrunk). The option to control
	this has now moved from the toolchain menu to system
	configuration.

	Legal info improvements: sources are now hardlinked instead of
	copied if possible to save space. Patches and extra downloads
	are also saved.

	An experimental configuration knob (BR2_REPRODUCIBLE) has been
	added to make the builds more reproducible (E.G. less
	differences in the binary output between builds of the same
	configuration). This is still work in progress.

	An option to execute a custom script inside the fakeroot
	environment used to the generate the filesystem (E.G. to tweak
	permissions or similar) has been added.

	Git support now supports git submodules if
	<pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES is enabled.

	Hash files for integritry validation have been added for all
	packages.

	Scanpypi utility to help creating packages from the Python
	package index (pypi) has been added.

	The makedevs utility now has support for adding file
	capabilities using extended attributes.

	New defconfigs: Arcturus uCP1020, Atmel sama5d{2,3,4} xplained
	development configs, Blackfin GDB simulator, Linksprite
