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
	pcDuino, Minnow Board Max graphical demo, NXP i.MX25 PDK,

2015.11-rc1, Released November, 7th 2015

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architectures:

	- Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc
	  only).

	- Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.

	- Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.

	- Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.

	Toolchains:

	- glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,
	  uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.

	- The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external
	  toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal
	  toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare
	  the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc
	  patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.

	- Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.

	- Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from
	  text-section-literals to auto-litpools.

	- Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC
	  rather than a specific fork.

	- Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to
	  2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on
	  x86_64 hosts.

	Bootloaders:

	- Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.

	Defconfigs:

	- Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary
	  Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,
	  OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,
	  Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.

	- Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,
	  cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,
	  mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,
	  raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.

	- Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,
	  calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.

	Infrastructure:

	- Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.

	- Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce
	  module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package
	  builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the
	  pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).

	- Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add
	  the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module
	  packages.

	- Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a
	  check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.

	- Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare
	  their actual source code. This is useful for packages for
	  which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the
	  case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE
	  variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.

	- Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain
	  wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory
	  can be shared between different Buildroot builds.

	- Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a
	  PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.

	- Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request
	  certain parts of the source code tarball to not be
	  extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and
	  toolchain-external.

	- Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by
	  the package infrastructure, to reference their package
	  directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.

	Filesystems:

	- Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.

	- Simplification of shell profile files in the default
	  skeleton.

	- Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp
	  server packages create these when needed.

	- Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their
	  corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for
	  systemd configurations, and optional for other
	  configurations.

	- Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.

	- New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.

2015.08-rc1, Released August, 5th 2015

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architectures:

	 - Refactor how the availability of an MMU is described.
	 - Minimal support for Cortex-M3
	 - Minimal support for AArch64 big-endian

	Toolchains:

	 - Add CodeSourcery MIPS 2015.05, remove MIPS 2013.11
	 - Use uClibc-ng as the default uClibc version, instead of the
	   official uClibc, which hasn't done any release since 3+
	   years
	 - eglibc is now marked as deprecated
	 - GCC: gcc 4.9.x is now the default and was updated to 4.9.3,
	   support for gcc 5.x added.
	 - Binutils: use Binutils 2.24 as the default, 2.25.x series
	   bumped to 2.25.1, remove old Binutils 2.22.
	 - Update ARC toolchain components to 2015.06
	 - Add support for Fortran when building gcc

	Bootloaders:

	 - Support for using the kconfig configuration system in
	   U-Boot

	New Defconfigs:

	 - VIA VAB-820/AMOS-820
	 - OLimex OLinuxino A20 Lime
	 - Many new defconfigs for Atmel evaluation boards:
	   at91sam9rlek, at91sam9x5ek, sama5d3xek, sama5d4ek, sama5d4
	   Xplained Ultra, sama5d3 Xplained.
	 - ACME Systems Aria G25
	 - WarPboard
	 - Altera Cyclone 5 Development Board
	 - Xilinx zc706
	 - ARC AXS101 and AXS103 Software Development Platforms
	 - Significant updates to Raspberry Pi / Raspberry Pi 2

	Infrastructure:

	 - Buildroot takes better care now of generating predictable
	   permissions in the target filesystem. However, existing
	   permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay will no
	   longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to add a
	   permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set the
	   required permissions.
	 - Add support for kconfig fragments.
	 - No longer pass --{enable,disable}-debug to autotools
	   packages depending on the value of
	   BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG. BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG now only controls
	   whether we build with -g or not.
	 - Support for extracting archives in .lzma in the generic
	   package infrastructure.
	 - Remove random-seed file from the default skeleton, since
	   seeding the entropy pool with a known seed makes more harm
	   than good.
	 - In the CVS download helper, add support to use a date as
	   the version.
	 - Add support for a per-package <pkg>_STRIP_COMPONENTS
	   variable, which packages can use to specify how many path
	   components should be stripped when extracting the tarball.
	 - Addition of a 'kernel-module' package infrastructure, which
	   simplifies the packaging of external kernel modules. Many
	   existing packages are converted to use it.
	 - Allow bootloaders to be implemented in $(BR2_EXTERNAL)
	 - Remove /etc/securetty from the default skeleton.
	 - Migration of sysV initscripts from the default skeleton to
	   a package called 'initscripts', installed only when Busbox
	   init or sysvinit are used.
	 - Migration of the skeleton logic to a proper 'skeleton'
	   package.
	 - Addition of a 'linux-tools' infrastructure in the 'linux'
	   package, to support building user-space tools bundled
	   within the Linux kernel sources, such as perf and cpupower.
	 - Usage of backticks instead of make $(shell ...) to execute
	   shell commands. This allows to delay the evaluation of such
	   commands when actually needed, and not when expanding the
	   variables. It is useful to make 'make printvars' less
	   noisy, and as a preparation to support top-level parallel
	   build.
	 - Libtool .la files are not mungled for all package types,
	   instead of being handled only for packages using the
	   autotools-package infrastructure.
	 - Add mechanism to allow packages to express a dependency on
	   gcc versions. This is needed for packages that use C++11 or
	   C11 support for example.

	Important package updates:

	 - Complete rework of the matchbox packaging
	 - Lots of fixes in packages for compatibility with musl and
	   gcc 5.
	 - Hash files added to a large number of packages.
	 - Update a significant number of packages to use a new
	   hosting, after the announcement of Google Code and
	   Gitorious closing.
	 - Major packages needed for SELinux support have been merged,
	   but the support is not complete yet.
	 - Significant update of OpenCV to version 3.0, and addition
	   of lots of eatures.
	 - Significant update of all packages supporting the GPU and
	   VPU of i.MX ARM processors.
	 - Addition of systemd support in a significant number of
	   packages.
