CHANGES 244 KiB
Newer Older
2017.11-rc1, To be released

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	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
	selected. The default is mbedtls, even if you didn't have mbedtls
	selected before.

	netsnmp: all MIB files are now installed, making the target filesystem a
	bit bigger than before. To remove unneeded MIBS, you should use a
	post-build script.

	dahdi-tools, freeswitch-mod-bcg729, fscryptctl, libb64,

	#10221: Buildroot Support

2017.08-rc1, Released August 2nd, 2017
	Infrastructure:

	- 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.
