CHANGES

2021.05-rc1, not yet released

	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_LINKERFLAGS 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

	New defconfigs: Acme Systems Acqua A5 (256/512MB), Beagleboard
	BeagleV, Boundary devices Nitrogen8M Plus SOM, NXP i.MX 8M
	Plus EVK, QEMU PPC e500mc
