	#12581: 2020.02-rc1 glibc failing to build on fedora 31

2020.02-rc1, released February 18th, 2020

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Add experimental support for building with a per-package
	target and host directory. This still has some rough edges,
	but brings a number of advantages:

	- Packages will only be able to access the explicitly listed
          dependencies and not any other packages that happen to be
          built before, ensuring correct dependency information in
          Buildroot.

	- Possibility for top-level parallel builds, speeding up
          builds on multicore machines.

	Core: Ensure package-file-lists data is correct after
	incremental builds as well.

	Architecture: Add support for ARC-HS38 with 64bit multiplier
	variant, allow building glibc for big endian ARC, handle 16KB
	MMU page size for ARC in toolchain wrapper.

	Toolchain: Add binutils 2.33.1, GCC 7.5.0, Arm 9.2-2019.12
	toolchains, ARC 2019.09 toolchain. Allow using custom kernel
	headers newer than what is known by Buildroot.

	pkg-stats: Support for CVE vulnerability reporting by
	comparing to NVD database.

	Reproducible builds: The go -trimpath option is now used to
	get rid of absolute build paths, __FILE__ and __BASE_FILE__
	defines are now handled in the toolchain wrapper.

	Systemd: Build host variant and use systemctl to automatically
	enable unit files rather than manually managing symlinks.

	Util-linux: Ensure that hwclock is built without GPLv3
	code. Notice that builds with hwclock has contained
	GPLv3-licensed code since util-linux 2.30 (Buildroot 2017.08+)

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Toolchain: ARC tools bumped to arc-2019.09-rc1, ensure
	external toolchain kernel headers version check correctly stop
	the build on mismatch

	Meson: Fix generation of global cross-compilation.conf

	Download: Also use the package download method for extra

	URLs containing '+'

2019.11-rc1, released November 5th, 2019

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Dependencies: Gcc/g++ 4.8 or newer is now required on the
	build host.
	Ensure host has JSON::PP perl module installed if
	webkitgtk/wpewebkit packages are enabled as it is needed
	during their build process.

	Toolchain: Add support for the D programming language (GCC
	9.x, Glibc).
	GCC 9.x updated to 9.2.0, Glibc updated to 2.30, Musl updated
	to 1.1.24, uClibc-ng updated to 1.0.32, ARC toolchain updated
	to arc-2019.09-eng002.
	Musl: Add a patch to add support for
	sched_{get,set}scheduler() and sched_{get,set}param() for
	compatibility.
	Generate check-headers program under BUILD_DIR rather than
	/tmp to fix issues with distributions mounting /tmp noexec.
	Also copy libssp.so for external toolchains if SSP
	to handle toolchains providing SSP support in libssp rather
	than in the C library

	New defconfigs: Beaglebone AI, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO Plus2,
	Libre Computer "La Frite", QEMU Armv7-A with trustzone/OP-TEE,
	STM32MP157 Discovery Kit

	Arch: RISC-V: Default to a sensible floating point ABI based
	on the selected ISA extensions rather than always defaulting
	to ILP32/64

	Graph-size: Package sizes are now shown in human readable form
	(Kib/Mib/Gib) rather than always in Kib. Binary (KB/MB/GB)
	format can be selected using the --binary option. The cut-off
	limit for classifying packages as "other" is now configurable
	using the --size-limit option.

	Br2-external: Linux kernel extensions can now also be provided
	in an external tree by adding packages under
	linux/linux-ext-*.mk. See the manual for details.

	Fakeroot now works correctly under Microsoft Windows 10
	Services for Linux, which does not provide SYSV IPC support

	The check-uniq-files logic which would complain if multiple
	packages would touch the same files has been removed as it
	causes issues in certain situations (when packages are
	rebuilt) and the issue is no longer considered a problem for
	toplevel parallel builds as those will use a per-package
	staging/target directory.
	With this removed, Python is no longer required for a basic
	build (only for optional scripts).

	support/scripts/genimage.sh will no longer make a copy of
	TARGET_DIR, speeding up post-build/image scripts.

	The runtime test logic now uses Python 3.x.

	A 'v' prefix has been dropped from the <pkg>_SOURCE variable
	for a number of packages to match the version numbers used by
	https://release-monitoring.org

	New packages: caps, collectl, dav1d, fstrcmp, ima-evm-utils,

2019.08, released September 1st, 2019

	Various fixes.

	Defconfigs: Removed nanopc t4, nanopi m4 and neo4, pine64
	rockpro64 and raxda rock pi4 as they rely on a ARM32 toolchain
	on the build host to build ATF. These defconfigs will be added
	back once a package providing such toolchain is
	available. Also dropped ts4800 defconfig as it does not build
	with GCC >= 8.x.

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

	Disallow PowerPC SPE ABI for GCC >= 8.x, as it is no longer
	supported.

	like the gdb scripts enabled by CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS are also
	built. Notice: This may mean that extra host utilities like
