2018.02.3, Released June 18th, 2018

	Important / security related fixes.

	Various fixes for building on modern distributions (GCC 8.x,
	no rpcgen utility).

	ARM: Default to binutils 2.28 and warn about newer binutils
	versions, which are known to cause boot failures for Linux
	kernels built in thumb mode.

	Busybox/mdev: Fix module autoloading.

	Busybox/sysvinit: inittab: Add /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr}
	symlinks, call swapon -a to activate any configured swap
	devices.

	Dependencies: Check that PATH does not contain current working
	directory, which triggers a number of build failures.

	Infrastructure: Error out for packages erroneously using the
	'local' site method but not defining a _SITE.

	Linux: Fix cuImage.<dtb> / simpleImage.<dtb> handling.  Ensure
	kconfig uses ncurses from the host to fix a ncurses/ncursesw
	mixup, causing menuconfig display corruption.

	Toolchain: Workarounds for fix-rpath issues with binutils and
	elf2flt.

	Util-linux: Fix blocking on getrandom() issue with recent
	kernels.

	Remove broken freescale_imx31_3stack,
	freescale_imx6sololiteevk and freescale_imx6ulevk defconfigs.

2018.02.2, Released May 4th, 2018

	Important / security related fixes.

	Tweak package size/file instrumentation to better handle
	package rebuilds.

	Revert /etc/shells creation when bash is enabled.

	Handle GCC 8.x on the host.

	Ensure timestamp of /usr is updated to support the systemd
	ConditionNeedsUpdate option.

	Freescale mpc8315erdb / p1010rdb_pa, Riotboard, Teliv EVK
	Pro3.

	Infrastructure: Speed up instrumentation for package size by
	comparing timestamps instead of md5 checksums, as doing
	checksums could lead to up to 25% longer build time for big
	configurations.

	Rename the internal <pkg>_BASE_NAME variable to <pkg>_NASENAME
	to avoid name clashes with packages ending on '-base'.

	Add a better fix for build issues for autotools based packages
	checking for C++ support on toolchains without C++ support.

	Build host-tar if tar is older than 1.27 on the build machine
	to work around reproducibility issues with git archives
	containing long paths.

	users' locale.

	(<pkg>_BIN_ARCH_EXCLUDE).

	these dependencies are available for Linux configurations
	needed these dependencies, similar to how it is done for
	U-Boot.

	in-tree ones.

	check-bin-arch: skip /lib/modules to allow 32-bit userland
	with 64bit kernel.

	dependencies: Blacklist tar 1.30+ and build our own host-tar

	#10221: Buildroot Support

2017.08-rc1, Released August 2nd, 2017

	Infrastructure:

	- 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.
	- The version selection in the glibc package has been
	  removed. Like musl and uClibc-ng, we now use the latest
	  glibc version.
	- Improved support for Xtensa toolchain overlays, which can
	  now be downloaded.

	Tools:

	- Numerous improvements to the runtime test infrastructure
	- Tests are now executed by Gitlab CI on a regular basis
	- Tools that are directly useful to the user have been moved
	  from support/scripts/ to utils/: brmake, check-package,
	  get-developers, scancpan, scanpipy, size-stats-compare,
	  test-pkg.

	New defconfigs: A13 Olinuxino, Engicam platforms (i.CoreM6
	Solo/Dual/DualLite/Quad, RQS SOM, GEAM6UL SOM, Is.IoT MX6UL
	SOM), Nano Pi M1 (Plus), OrangePi Zero and Plus.

	#9796: source-check broken for Git downloads
	#9866: BASE_DIR usage

2017.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2017

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Infrastructure:

	- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture
	  to catch natively built binaries or binaries built for other
	  architecture variants.

	- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
	  support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.

	- 'make printvars' output format has changed to make it easier
	  to use in scripts. It now has options to quote the variables
	  and to show the expanded/unexpanded values.

	- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The
	  logic was not working working reliable in all setups as it
	  depends on the host filesystem behaviour, so instead now the
	  size has to be specified explicitly (defaults to 60MB).

	- The git download infrastructure now ensures that GNU format
	  tar files are created.

	- Fixed a variable clashing issue in the mkusers script with
	  internal bash variables.

	- Fakeroot now links against libacl to fix issues on
