2017.11-rc1, Released November 6th, 2017

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Openssl is now a virtual package, which may be provided by
	OpenSSL (now renamed to libopenssl) or LibreSSL.

	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.

	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.

	updated to 2017.09, Glibc updated to 2.26, Glibc support for

	#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.

	- A new "make sdk" target prepares $(HOST_DIR) to be
	  relocatable: turns RPATHs in host binaries into relocatable
	  ones, removes bogus RPATHs from staging binaries/libraries,
	  and provides a relocate-sdk script that can be executed to
	  relocate the SDK after installation.

	- Addition of utils/genrandconfig which generates a random
	  configuration based on a set of pre-defined toolchain
	  configurations (support/config-fragments/autobuild/) and a
	  random selection of packages. It is now used by the
	  autobuilders to generate the random configurations.

	Filesystems:

	- ext2/3/4 filesystems are now generated using mkfs.ext from
	  e2fsprogs instead of using genext2fs.

	Architecture:

	- Addition of support for ARM big.LITTLE variants
	- Improved MIPS support, with options to select NaN encoding
	  and FP32 mode.

	Toolchain:

	- Switch to gcc 6.x as the default gcc version, add support
	  for gcc 7.x, remove support for gcc 4.8
	- Switch to binutils 2.28 as the default binutils version, add
	  support for binutils 2.29, remove support for binutils 2.26
	- Support added for gdb 8.0
	- uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.26
	- CodeSourcery toolchains for x86 and SuperH have been
	  removed, they were using a too old glibc version
	  (2.17). External toolchains with glibc 2.17 or earlier are
	  no longer supported.
	- The version selection in the glibc package has been
	  removed. Like musl and uClibc-ng, we now use the latest
	  glibc version.
	- Improved support for Xtensa toolchain overlays, which can
	  now be downloaded.

	Tools:

	- Numerous improvements to the runtime test infrastructure
	- Tests are now executed by Gitlab CI on a regular basis
	- Tools that are directly useful to the user have been moved
	  from support/scripts/ to utils/: brmake, check-package,
	  get-developers, scancpan, scanpipy, size-stats-compare,
	  test-pkg.

	#9796: source-check broken for Git downloads
	#9866: BASE_DIR usage

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
