+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.

+
+2017.08-rc2, Released August 11th, 2017
+
+ Fixes all over the tree.
+
+ Updated/fixed packages: bind, dbus, erlang-p1-xml, faad2,
+ ficl, gcc, gdb, glibc, jack2, libcurl, linux, linux-headers,
+ lua, mutt, nvme, qt5base, skeleton-common, snappy, stella,

+
+ The cmake-package infrastructure for host packages has been
+ fixed to not incorrectly detect target packages through
+ pkg-config.
+
+ Issues resolved (http://bugs.buildroot.org):
+

+ #10021: libqeglfs-viv-integration.so file is missing for qt5 on armv7

+ #10221: Buildroot Support
+
+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
+ BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was disabled, NLS support was forced off
+ 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.
+
+ 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.

+
+2017.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2017
+
+ Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+ Infrastructure:
+
+ - Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture
+ to catch natively built binaries or binaries built for other
+ architecture variants.
+
+ - Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
+ support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.
+
+ - 'make printvars' output format has changed to make it easier
+ to use in scripts. It now has options to quote the variables
+ and to show the expanded/unexpanded values.
+
+ - Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The
+ logic was not working working reliable in all setups as it
+ depends on the host filesystem behaviour, so instead now the
+ size has to be specified explicitly (defaults to 60MB).
+
+ - The git download infrastructure now ensures that GNU format
+ tar files are created.
+
+ - Fixed a variable clashing issue in the mkusers script with
+ internal bash variables.
+
+ - Fakeroot now links against libacl to fix issues on
+ distributions using acls.
+
+ - Correct permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx when systemd is used
+ with recent glibc versions.
+
+ - br2-external: Improve error reporting.
+
+ - A wrapper script for genimage has been added in
+ support/scripts/genimage.sh for easy use of genimage from
+ post-image scripts.
+
+ - A script to check for common style issues in new packages
+ before submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package
+
+ - Defconfigs are now tested by gitlab-CI instead of Travis:
+ https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot
+
+ - Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to
+ support/testing
+
+ Toolchain:
+
+ - External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain
+ updated to 2017.03-rc1, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05
+
+ - A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain
+ handling, including C library detection, multilib and ld.so
+ handling
+
+ - Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled
+ for uClibc-ng
+
+ - Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27
+
+
+ Architectures:
+
+ - Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.
+
+
+ License handling:
+
+ - The package license markings for legal info now uses the
+ SPDX short identifiers for the license string where possible.
+
+ - License info has been improved / added for a number of packages.
+
+
+ Misc:
+
+ - Cmake 3.7.x installed on the host is no longer ignored as a
+ workaround for the RPATH issues has been implemented.
+
+ - Docker-engine can now be built statically on an otherwise
+ dynamic linked build for docker-in-docker setups.
+
+ - U-Boot now supports out-of-tree device trees, similar to
+ Linux
+
+ - Nodejs 0.10.x support (and with it, support for <ARMv6) has
+ been removed as this is now EOL upstream.
+
+ New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro,

+ Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.7.
+
+ CMake support: fix cmake wrapper to properly pass NDEBUG flag.
+
+ Filesystems: use a wrapper to pseudo, to better mimick the behaviour
+ of fakeroot; makedevs no longer breaks of the destination already
+ exists and is of the correct type/major/minor.
+
+ Defconfigs: a few legacy and broken defconfigs have been removed
+ because they now fail to build: kb9202_defconfig, mini2440_defconfig,
+ freescale_p2020ds, qmx6, calao*, atmel_sama5d4ek. Other defconfigs
+ have been updated: nanopi-neo, olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali,

+ atmel_sama5d3xek.
+
+2016.11-rc1, Released November 3rd, 2016
+
+ Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+ It is now possible to specify multiple BR2_EXTERNAL
+ directories. The required files in a BR2_EXTERNAL directory
+ have changed to accomodate this feature. Refer to the
+ documentation for details of how to update them. External
+ trees now have a name and a description. Also, it is possible
+ to override a defconfig in the external tree.
+
+ The default skeleton now uses UID 65534 for the "nobody"
+ user instead of UID 99, like most distros do. See
+ https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ for a complete discussion.
+ Programs and configuration files that explicitly refer to UID
+ 99 will have to be updated.
+
+ When the build environment already has a suitable cmake version
+ (3.1 or later), that one will be used instead of building
+ host-cmake. This can speed up the build significantly.
+
+ The ExtUtils::MakeMaker perl module is now required in the
+ build environment.
+
+ An additional check is done during the build that files are
+ not installed in the output directory within the output
+ directory. This happens e.g. when the target directory is
+ contained both in --prefix and in DESTDIR. The build will
+ terminate with an error message that specifies which package
+ and which file caused the failure.
+
+ The concept of "deprecated packages" and the BR2_DEPRECATED
+ option have been removed. Instead, packages are removed
+ immediately. Packages are only removed when they don't work
+ for some reason. If you still need a removed package and
+ you have a solution for the problem(s) that caused the
+ removal, please contribute it.
+
+ Architecture: support for sh64 removed, improved support for
+ MIPS core selection.
+
+ Toolchain: support for musl powerpc64le, mips64 and mipsr6
+ toolchains, ARC toolchain components updates, gcc 6.x series
+ bumped to 6.2.0, default binutils version switched to 2.26,
+ default gcc version switched to gcc 5.x, Linaro toolchains
+ updated, uclibc-ng bumped to 1.0.19. GCC is now always built
+ with TLS support. Checking of unsafe compiler options (that
+ point to host directories) has been extended with -isystem,
+ -idirafter and -iquote.
+
+ Package infrastructure: new variable $(PKG)_DL_OPTS, addition
+ of <pkg>-show-rdepends to list reverse dependencies, and
+ <pkg>-graph-rdepends to graph reverse dependencies. Linux tools
+ are now in a separate linux-tools package instead of in the
+ kernel build. Fakeroot has been replaced by pseudo.
+
+ CMake support: the toolchainfile.cmake file now provides a
+ definition of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable. The
+ toolchainfile.cmake also no longer forces the compiler/linker
+ flags defined by Buildroot.
+
+ New defconfigs: WaRP7, Solidrun's MX6 Cubox/Hummingboard,
+ TS-4900, Grinn's liteBoard, Udoo MX6Q/DL, Qemu ARM noMMU,
+ BeagleBone Qt5 demo, Digilent Zybo, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO.

+
+ Removed packages: binutils 2.24, fakeroot, gcc 4.7, ipkg,
+ kodi-addon-xvdr, libgail, sstrip, torsmo, webkit, webkitgtk24,
+ wvdial, wvstreams.
+
+ Documentation: the list of packages that was present in the
+ Buildroot manual has been removed.
+
+ Legal info: the "licenses.txt" file that concatenates all
+ license texts is no longer generated - it was not considered
+ useful. The manifest.csv contains an empty cell instead of
+ "not saved" when no license file is available.
+
+ Other: addition of a DEVELOPERS file listing developers taking
+ care of packages or architectures.

+
+2016.08-rc1, Released August 6th, 2016
+
+ Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+ Toolchain: Fortran support added. eglibc support removed, musl
+ support no longer experimental. Blackfin and Microblaze
+ support for internal uClibc-ng toolchain, m68k/coldfire
+ improvements. The check for unsafe (build host) directories
+ access (/usr/include and /usr/lib) is now enabled by default.
+ Unused locales are now purged by default to save space (and
+ the default list of locales shrunk). The option to control
+ this has now moved from the toolchain menu to system
+ configuration.
+
+ Legal info improvements: sources are now hardlinked instead of
+ copied if possible to save space. Patches and extra downloads
+ are also saved.
+
+ An experimental configuration knob (BR2_REPRODUCIBLE) has been
+ added to make the builds more reproducible (E.G. less
+ differences in the binary output between builds of the same
+ configuration). This is still work in progress.
+
+ An option to execute a custom script inside the fakeroot
+ environment used to the generate the filesystem (E.G. to tweak
+ permissions or similar) has been added.
+
+ Git support now supports git submodules if
+ <pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES is enabled.
+
+ Hash files for integritry validation have been added for all
+ packages.
+
+ Scanpypi utility to help creating packages from the Python
+ package index (pypi) has been added.
+
+ The makedevs utility now has support for adding file
+ capabilities using extended attributes.
+
+ New defconfigs: Arcturus uCP1020, Atmel sama5d{2,3,4} xplained
+ development configs, Blackfin GDB simulator, Linksprite
