CHANGES

2018.11-rc1, released November 9th, 2018

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architecture: RISC-V support (64bit) added.

	Toolchain: Glibc bumped to 2.28. Fortran support for external
	toolchains. ARM (Linaro) toolchains updated to 8.2-2018.08.

	Hardening flags (RELRO) are now handled by the toolchain
	wrapper instead of explicitly through CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, fixing a
	number of issues.

	Filesystems: Support for creating btrfs and f2fs filesystems
	added.

	Add a number of patches to fix build errors for host utilities
	on modern distributions using glibc-2.28.

	mkusers: Ensure existing group members are preserved when a
	group is reprocessed.

	printvars: Fix issue with exceeding shell command line length
	limits for certain setups.

	Workaround added for incompatibility issues between host-dtc
	and older U-Boot and Linux kernel versions.

	Detect and reject build paths containing '@', as this confuses
	a number of packages, including GCC.

	utils/diffconfig: Make it work for (non-Buildroot) config
	files not using the BR2_ prefix.

	New defconfigs: Amarula a64-relic, Bananapi m2 ultra, Embest
	riotboard, Hardkernel Odroid XU-4, QEMU riscv64-virt.
	olimex_a20_olinuxion_lime_mali is renamed to _legacy.

	OpenCL infrastructure support added, similar to how OpenGL is
	handled.

	tarball / git repo added.

2018.08, Released September 6th, 2018

	Minor fixes.

	Known issues:

	- Glibc 2.28 on the build host breaks compilation of a number
	  of host packages. 2018.08 contains fixes for some of these
	  packages, but not all. Consider building on hosts (or in
	  containers) using older Glibc versions.

	- host-dtc 1.4.7 breaks compilation of older U-Boot and Linux
          kernel configurations using FDT/DTC. Consider updating the
          Linux kernel to >= 4.17 and U-Boot to >= 2018.07 or
          backporting commit 9130ba8846 (scripts/dtc: Update to
          upstream version v1.4.6-9-gaadd0b65c987) for the Linux
          kernel / commit db405d1980 for U-Boot.
	  Alternatively revert commit 7b929ddcf0 (dtc: bump version to
          1.4.7) and ensure your build host does not have the libfdt
          development headers installed.

	Updated/fixed packages: busybox, chipmunk, cutelyst,
	domoticz, gcc, imagemagick, lcms2, libcurl, mediastreamer,
	moarvm, php, qt, qt5virtualkeyboard, qt5webengine, screen,
	sdl2, squashfs, uboot, xen

	Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):

	linux: additional improvements to the flex / bison dependency
	handling, use system provided variant if available. Ensure
	toolchain is available when configuring for 4.18+ support.

	Download: Fix handling of primary sites using file://

	Toolchain: Correct external toolchain musl detection for
	static toolchains.

	Updated/fixed packages: aircrack-ng, bison, brltty, busybox,

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Toolchain: ARC tools updated to arc-2018.03-rc2.

	Fs: Ensure hard links in TARGET_DIR are correctly copied for
	filesystem input. With the recent changes to the file system
	generation logic, hard links were "expanded" in file system
	images leading to bloated rootfs images for setups with hard
	links.

2018.05-rc2, Released May 22nd, 2018

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Dependencies: Check that the current working directory (.)
	isn't listed in PATH as that causes various build issues.

	Manual: Clarify that git branch names may not be used as
	version identifiers. This has never been supported, but was
	kind of working (with some limitations) before the git
	download rework - Now it does not work at all.

	Linux: Ensure host version of ncurses is picked up and not
	host-ncurses built by buildroot, as that otherwise causes
	widechar/non-widechar conflicts and corrupted menuconfig
	menus.

	Packages: Renamed a number of package options not prefixed
	with BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for consstency.

	Download infrastructure: Fix file:// protocol handling after
	download rework.

	Toolchain: glibc bumped to 2.27, musl bumped to 1.1.19,
	uClibc-ng 1.0.30, Linux kernel headers bumped to 4.16.x.

	Architecture: support for the Blackfin architecture has been
	removed, as it was removed from Linux upstream, poorly
	maintained in binutils/gdb, and abandoned by Analog Devices.

	Numerous packages updated to have hashes for their license
	files.

	Systemd can now be built with uClibc toolchains.

	Linux: addition of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_LIBELF and
	BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL to support building Linux
	kernel configurations that need libelf on the host or openssl
	on the host.

	Coding style:
	- all Python scripts are now verified with flake8
	- check-package extended to check all Config.in and .mk files
	  in tree, not only the ones in package/

	Infrastructure:

	- The download infrastructure has seen a major overhaul, with
	  the main visible new feature being Git caching: a package
	  fetched from Git no longer needs to be re-cloned entirely
	  everytime its version is changed. Anoter visible change is
	  that the download folder now has subfolders per package. See
	  http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-April/217923.html
	  for more details about those changes.

	- The logic that generates the root filesystem images has been
	  reworked, with the main goal of allowing several filesystem
	  images to be produced in parallel, also a requirement for
	  top-level parallel build. Now, a .tar filesystem image is
	  always created, and re-extracted in a private directory to
	  create each format-specific filesystem image.

	- A new package infrastructure was introduced for Go-based
	  packages: golang-package.

	- Dependencies on extraction tools are now handled as proper
	  per-package dependencies, using
	  <pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES. Beyond a cleanup, this is also a
	  preparation step for top-level parallel build support.

	- When a file being downloaded is part of a package with a
	  .hash file, but there is no hash listed for this file, the
	  file is now preserved in the download directory rather than
	  removed. This helps when updating a package, as it gives the
	  ability to easily calculate the hash of the file.

	- Addition of '<pkg>-show-recursive-depends' and
	  '<pkg>-show-recursive-rdepends' make targets, to
	  respectively display the recursive list of dependencies and
	  the recursive list of reverse dependencies of a given
	  package.

	- The /etc/shells file is now automatically generated with the
	  list of shell programs installed on the system.

	- Addition of -Ofast optimization level as an available
	  option.

	Major updates: Go updated to 1.10, Erlang bumped to 20.3, Qt5
	bumped to 5.10.1.

	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.

	Exclude /lib/firmware from the rpath fixup logic, as it may
	contain non-native ELF files.

2018.02.1, Released April 9th, 2018

	Important / security related fixes.

	Removed unmaintained defconfigs: Creator Ci40, Firefly rk3288,
	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.

	check-unique-files: Fix for filenames not representable in the
	users' locale.
