+2018.05-rc1, Released May 9th, 2018
+
+ 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.
+

+
+ Rename the internal <pkg>_BASE_NAME variable to <pkg>_NASENAME

+
+ Add a better fix for build issues for autotools based packages

+ in-tree ones.
