2016.11-rc3, Released November 28th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree, including a number of security fixes.

	The move from fakeroot to pseudo unfortunately brought a
	number of issues.  The SELinux issue described in #9386 which
	triggered the move to pseudo has been investigated further and
	a workaround implemented and the pseudo changes reverted.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.11.

	Defconfigs: Updates/fixes for imx28ek, mx6udoo, imx6ulpico,
	olimex a20 olinuxino lime mali, roseapplepi, synopsis aarch64

2016.11-rc2, Released November 13th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Architecture: add support for MIPS XBurst cores; remove MIPS
	support for M5100 cores.

	Updated/fixed packages: mesa3d, lttng-babeltrace, tinyalsa, pseudo,
	czmq, libxml2, makedevs, binutils, kvm-unit-tests, libnss, privoxy,
	qemu, ser2net, net-tools, ffmpeg, assimp, libmpeg2, ccache, mpv,

	jasper, kvmtool, go, wget, sane-backends, weston, tinymembench,
	strace, openjpeg, lcms2, quota.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.7.

	CMake support: fix cmake wrapper to properly pass NDEBUG flag.

	Filesystems: use a wrapper to pseudo, to better mimick the behaviour
	of fakeroot; makedevs no longer breaks of the destination already
	exists and is of the correct type/major/minor.

	Defconfigs: a few legacy and broken defconfigs have been removed
	because they now fail to build: kb9202_defconfig, mini2440_defconfig,
	freescale_p2020ds, qmx6, calao*, atmel_sama5d4ek. Other defconfigs
	have been updated: nanopi-neo, olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali,
	armadeus_apf51, armadeus_apf28, freescale_imx31_3stack, ci20,
	olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime2, atmel_at91sam9260eknf,
	atmel_at91sam9rlek, atmel_at91sam9g20dfc, atmel_at91sam9g45m10ek,
	atmel_sama5d3xek.

2016.11-rc1, Released November 3rd, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	It is now possible to specify multiple BR2_EXTERNAL
	directories. The required files in a BR2_EXTERNAL directory
	have changed to accomodate this feature. Refer to the
	documentation for details of how to update them. External
	trees now have a name and a description. Also, it is possible
	to override a defconfig in the external tree.

	The default skeleton now uses UID 65534 for the "nobody"
	user instead of UID 99, like most distros do. See
	https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ for a complete discussion.
	Programs and configuration files that explicitly refer to UID
	99 will have to be updated.

	When the build environment already has a suitable cmake version
	(3.1 or later), that one will be used instead of building
	host-cmake. This can speed up the build significantly.

	The ExtUtils::MakeMaker perl module is now required in the
	build environment.

	An additional check is done during the build that files are
	not installed in the output directory within the output
	directory. This happens e.g. when the target directory is
	contained both in --prefix and in DESTDIR. The build will
	terminate with an error message that specifies which package
	and which file caused the failure.

	The concept of "deprecated packages" and the BR2_DEPRECATED
	option have been removed. Instead, packages are removed
	immediately. Packages are only removed when they don't work
	for some reason. If you still need a removed package and
	you have a solution for the problem(s) that caused the
	removal, please contribute it.

	Architecture: support for sh64 removed, improved support for
	MIPS core selection.

	Toolchain: support for musl powerpc64le, mips64 and mipsr6
	toolchains, ARC toolchain components updates, gcc 6.x series
	bumped to 6.2.0, default binutils version switched to 2.26,
	default gcc version switched to gcc 5.x, Linaro toolchains
	updated, uclibc-ng bumped to 1.0.19. GCC is now always built
	with TLS support. Checking of unsafe compiler options (that
	point to host directories) has been extended with -isystem,
	-idirafter and -iquote.

	Package infrastructure: new variable $(PKG)_DL_OPTS, addition
	of <pkg>-show-rdepends to list reverse dependencies, and
	<pkg>-graph-rdepends to graph reverse dependencies. Linux tools
	are now in a separate linux-tools package instead of in the
	kernel build. Fakeroot has been replaced by pseudo.

	CMake support: the toolchainfile.cmake file now provides a
	definition of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable. The
	toolchainfile.cmake also no longer forces the compiler/linker
	flags defined by Buildroot.

	New defconfigs: WaRP7, Solidrun's MX6 Cubox/Hummingboard,
	TS-4900, Grinn's liteBoard, Udoo MX6Q/DL, Qemu ARM noMMU,
	BeagleBone Qt5 demo, Digilent Zybo, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO.

	New packages: arm-trusted-firmware, amd-catalyst, atop, aufs,
	aufs-util, fwts, gst1-rtsp-server, libglob, libite, mfgtools,
	mksh, motion, paho-mqtt-c, php-amqp, pseudo, python-couchdb,
	python-crcmod, python-cssutils, python-docutils,
	python-futures, python-mwclient, python-mwscrape,
	python-mwscrape2slob, python-pyelftools, python-pyicu,
	python-pylru, python-pyqt5, python-requests-toolbelt,
	python-simpleaudio, python-slob, rabbitmq-server, shapelib,
	vdr, vdr-plugin-vnsiserver, vexpress-firmware, xvisor, iio and
	gpio linux tools.

	Removed packages: binutils 2.24, fakeroot, gcc 4.7, ipkg,
	kodi-addon-xvdr, libgail, sstrip, torsmo, webkit, webkitgtk24,
	wvdial, wvstreams.

	Documentation: the list of packages that was present in the
	Buildroot manual has been removed.

	Legal info: the "licenses.txt" file that concatenates all
	license texts is no longer generated - it was not considered
	useful. The manifest.csv contains an empty cell instead of
	"not saved" when no license file is available.

	Other: addition of a DEVELOPERS file listing developers taking
	care of packages or architectures.

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.
