	Numerous package updates. Notable updates including numerous
	Python modules, Kodi add-ons, nodejs, OpenJDK.

	Toolchain:
	- glibc update to 2.34
	- support for gdb 11.x added, gdb 10.x now the default
	- external toolchains provided by ARM updated
	- remove support for internal toolchain on the CSKY
          architecture, as it was broken and unmaintained

	Many packages updated to enable the appropriate SELinux
	refpolicy module when SELinux support is enabled.

	Support was added in the test-pkg package testing utility for
	using Gitlab CI to run the builds.

	New libgbm virtual package to better support OpenGL
	implementations that provide a libgbm library.

	Bootloaders/firmware: grub2 extended to be able to support
	multiple platforms in the same build.

	Filesystems:
	- new OCI filesystem type, to build container images
	  compatible with the Open Container Initiative standard

          legacy and EFI BIOS machines

2021.05-rc1, released May 12th, 2021

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	FORTIFY_SOURCE, PIC/PIE, RELRO and SSP security hardening
	options are now enabled by default.

	Dependencies: Explicitly detect and bail out if PATH contains
	spaces or tabs. A number of packages fail to build in such
	setups, so explicitly inform about this.

	Infrastructure: Expose CONFIG_DIR to post-build/post-image
	scripts, so they can call the Buildroot Makefile in the
	correct directory for both in-tree / out-of-tree builds.

	CMake infrastructure: Use CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS rather than
	CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to link with libatomic to fix an compatibility
	issue with poppler. Bump minimal host cmake version to 3.16
	(from 3.15) to fix a compatibility issue with domoticz.

	Meson: Use correct C++ host compiler (rather than C compiler)

	utils/scanpypi: Explicitly use python3 for compatibility with
	packages using python3 syntax in setup.py

	support/download: Fix tarball generation (from git/svn repos)
	including symlinks pointing to ./<something>. Fix svn download
	for <1.9 clients or repos using CVS-style keywords.

	support/scripts/cve.py: Use the (significantly) faster yajl2
	ijson backend for older (< 2.5) ijson versions rather than the
	slow python default, speeding up pkg-stats by ~2x.

	Toolchain: Add logic to work around binutils bug 21464
	(affecting OpenRISC), bug 27597 (affecting Nios II) and drop
	the now longer applicable bug 19615 / 20006 handling.

	Python{,3}: Fix byte compiling python files with short (single
	character before .py) file names.

	CPE meta data has been added for a large number of packages

	slow python default, speeding up pkg-stats by ~2x.

	CMake infrastructure: Use CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS rather than
	CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to link with libatomic to fix an compatibility
	issue with poppler.

	Infrastructure: Expose CONFIG_DIR to post-build/post-image
	scripts, so they can call the Buildroot Makefile in the
	correct directory for both in-tree / out-of-tree builds.

2021.02-rc1, released February 9th, 2021

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Toolchain: Default to binutils 2.35.2, add 2.36.1, drop
	2.33.x. Fix GCC 10.x ARC adc/sbc pattern handling, Update ARM
	toolchains to 10.2-2020.11 release.

	Architectures: ARC: add support for generic HS48 processor,
	PPC: drop PPC601 support, which was removed from Linux 5.10.

	Vulnerability scanning: The CVE checking logic has been
	extended to match packages based on CPE (Common Platform
	Enumeration) IDs for more accurate matching, and CPE
	identifiers have been added for a large amount of packages.

	Download: Rework the tarball creation logic (E.G. when a
	package is fetched from a git/svn repo) to no longer require a
	host-tar <= 1.29. To differ between the old and the new
	format, the new tarballs have gained a -br1 suffix
	(<pkg>-<version>-br1.tar.gz).

	the relevant refpolicy modules when enabled.
