2017.11-rc1, To be released
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.

- 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.
