CHANGES

2019.08-rc1, released August 9th, 2019

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	toolchain: ARC toolchain updated to 2019.03 (binutils 2.32.51
	/ GCC 8.3.1 / glibc 2.29), ARM AAarch64/ARM toolchains updated
	to 2019.03. Add GCC 9.1.0, remove GCC 4.9 and 6.5, add GDB
	8.3, remove GDB 7.12 and 8.0.1, default to GDB 8.2, GCC
	8.3.0. Musl updated to 1.1.23, bringing support for RISC-V 64.

	Architectures: Internal toolchain support for C-SKY, support
	for ARC HS48 v3.1 and HS38 with Quad MAC & FPU, support for
	ARM A76,  A76/A55 big.LITTLE, emag, neoverse-N1, phecda and
	tsv110.

	Filesystems: Pass extra pax options to tar for binary
	reproducibility. Build host-cpio for the --reproducible option
	support when BR2_REPRODUCIBLE is enabled. Genimage updated to
	version 11, bringing GPT support.

	Br2-external: Add support for injecting additional options to
	the list of preconfigured external toolchains and libjpeg and
	openssl providers using files under provides/. See the manual
	for details.

	Ensure custom <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR_RSYNC_EXCLUSIONS are
	passed before the standard exclusions so they are not ignored
	by rsync when using override-srcdir.

	Gnuconfig updated to 2019-05-28, adding C-SKY support.

	test-pkg: Correct long option handling and clean output dir
	after a successful build to save disk space.

	support/testing: Emulate a machine with 256MB RAM to fix
	issues with certain tests running out of memory, use
	virtio-rng to provide needed entrophy.

	pkg-stats: support outputting in JSON format with --json for
	easier post processing. The classic HTML output is still
	available with --html. Parallelize access to
	release-monitoring.org to speed up runtime.

	Drop non-conventional version prefix/suffix/separators for
	packages for better compatibility with release-monitoring.org

	Packages:
	Init systems: Add basic openrc support and
	<pkg>_INSTALL_INIT_OPENRC variable in the infrastructure to
	install openrc service scripts if enabled.

	busybox: Build each applet as a separate binary when SELinux
	is enabled for more finegrained policy control. Use daemon
	mode for mdev rather than legacy hotplug.

	linux: Workaround -Werror related build failure on powerpc,
	by forcing CONFIG_PPC_DISABLE_WERROR on.

	Defconfigs: QEMU: use 'rootwait' kernel option to ensure root
	partition is available before mounting.

	New defconfigs: HiFive Unleashed, I.MX8MM EVK and Pico, Nanopi
	m4 and neo4, Nanopc t4, Olimex A33 olinuxino, Pine64

2019.05, released June 2nd, 2019

	Various fixes.

	Toolchain: Ensure pre-built Andes toolchains can only be
	selected when x86 32bit support is available on the host.
	Disallow PowerPC SPE ABI for GCC >= 8.x, as it is no longer
	supported.

	Infra: pkg-config: Use a dedicated timestamp file rather than
	.config as that gets touched by linux-4.19+, causing repeated
	builds.

	Add C-SKY support to our config.sub (gnuconfig)

	#11841: grub-efi.cfg not used when building EFI disk image

2019.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2019

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architecture: Andes 32-bit (nds32) support added.

	Only build host-lzip / host-xz when really needed by packages,
	not just when not available on the build host.

	Toolchain: Glibc bumped to 2.29, musl bumped to 1.1.22,
	binutils 2.32 added, 2.28/2.29 removed, default changed to
	2.31.1.

	fs: Set FAKEROOTDONTTRYCHOWN environment variable to not
	forward {f,l,}chown calls to libc when running under fakeroot
	to fix issues when building in restricted environments
	(E.G. user namespace with bubblewrap).

	Linux: Also build default make target to ensure extra files
	like the gdb scripts enabled by CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS are also
	built. Notice: This may mean that extra host utilities like
	uboot-mkimage are needed.

	Infrastructure: show-info and <pkg>-show-info make targets
	added to output package metadata in JSON format for external
	use.

	pkg-generic: Only tweak .la files needing it to ensure they
	are not included in subsequent package file lists.

	test-pkg: Generate a basic package config if none is
	specified.
