-2017.08-rc1, To be released
+2018.05-rc1, Released May 9th, 2018
- Major revamp of the gettext handling, with user-visible
- effect:
+ 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.

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

+
+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
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.
+ 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.
