-2018.02-rc1, To be released
+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.
+
+ Updated/fixed packages: acl, apr-util, asterisk, attr,
+ bluez5_utils, cifs-utils, clamav, clang, cups-filters,
+ dahdi-linux, exim, faketime, gdb, go, gst1-plugins-bad,
+ imx-mkimage, ipsec-tools, jamvm, janus-gateway,
+ jquery-ui-themes, libcap, libcurl, libftdi, libkcapi, libkrb5,

+ snort, strace, ti-sgx-km, transmission, wavpack, wget, woff2,
+ xen, zmqpp, znc, zstd
+
+ Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):
+
+ #10986: Installing package attr when already supplied by...
+ #11011: BUildroot for Raspberry Pi 2
+ #11016: Wrong compiler used for external user host packages
+
+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.
+
+ New packages: 18xx-ti-utils, abootimg, bluez-alsa, brotli,
+ chipmunk, clang, docker-compose, docker-proxy, flare-engine,

+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.
+
+ Check-bin-arch: Add support for per-package ignore paths
+ (<pkg>_BIN_ARCH_EXCLUDE).
+
+ Toolchain: Fix SSP support detection for external toolchains.
+
+ linux: Add _NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL / LIBELF options to ensure
+ these dependencies are available for Linux configurations
+ needed these dependencies, similar to how it is done for
+ U-Boot.
+
+ Support custom (not in tree) device tree files in addition to
+ in-tree ones.
+
+ U-Boot / uboot-tools: Fix header conflict with libfdt-devel
+ installed on host.
