CHANGES

2019.02-rc1, not yet released

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.


	Dependencies:

	Require Python >= 2.7 as it is needed for E.G. building
	libglib2.

	Ensure GNU gzip is used for reproducible tarballs (instead of
	pigz)


	Infrastucture:

	Ensure the PLATFORM and OS environment variables are not set,
	as they cause build issues for some packages.

	The package list infrastructure now correctly handles packages
	installing files with old mtime.

	Add a config option to force all optional host utilities to be
	built, even if suitable versions are available on the build
	machine.

	graph-build-time: Also show time spent downloading

	Download: fixes for SSH/SCP support

	Ensure user provided permissions override permissions from
	packages.

	SDK: Fix handling of relative symlinks (targets starting with
	'.' or '..')

	BR2_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_PATH setting to customize the default path
	for processes.

	The custom skeleton logic will now populate the needed /bin,
	/lib, /sbin directories/symlinks if not present. Merged /usr
	can now be used with a custom skeleton.

	Rootfs overlays can now override symbolic links from
	packages. This was disabled to ensure the correct symbolic
	links are present when merged /usr is used. Instead validate
	that the rootfs overlays do not include invalid /bin, /sbin
	and /lib entries.

	The waf infrastructure now support the <pkg>_SUBDIR variable,
	similar to the other package types.

	cmake: Also set CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION in toolchainfile.cmake

	Various improvements to the meson infrastructure.

	Luarocks: A Buildroot addon has been added to automate
	creating a Buildroot package from luarocks, similar to
	scancpan and scanpypi.

	check-package: fix Python 3 support

	get-developers: Fix behaviour when called from elsewhere than
	the toplevel directory.

	pkg-stats: Show latest upstream version of each package, based
	on data from release-monitoring.org

	kconfig: Fix for make linux-menuconfig / uboot-menuconfig from
	a clean tree when ccache is enabled.

	Default to sha256 password encoding, drop md5 support.


	Architecture:

	Support for RISC-V 32bit architecture, ARM A55, 75 and Saphira
	variants, MIPS support for mips32r3, mips64r3 and Marvell
	Octeon II/III variants.


	Toolchain:

	ARC toolchain 2018.09, ARM 8.2-2018.11, Codescape IMG/MTI MIPS
	2018.09-02, MUSL 1.1.21, GCC 6.5.0 / 7.4.0, GDB 8.2.1


	Packages:

	openssl: Bump to 1.1.1x series, bringing TLSv1.3 support and
	long term support.

	fftw: Split into fftw-{single,double,long-double,quad}
	packages for the different data precision options.

	libcurl: Now has explicit TLS backend selection options.

	linux: Support building device tree blobs with the -@ option
	for device tree overlays.

	weston: The weston-imx i.MX variant is now used when
	imx-gpu-viv is enabled

	pkgconf: Update to 1.5.3, which brings support for
	--define-prefix (used by GStreamer)

	Add host-python3-setuptools package to handle host python
	packages needing python3 with setuptools support.
