Update for 2018.02.11

[buildroot-mgba.git] / CHANGES

2019.02-rc2, released February 23th, 2019

        Fixes all over the tree.

        Removed zynq_zybo defconfig, as it hasn't seen any update
        since it was added in 2016, and uses a U-Boot version not
        compatible with openssl-1.1.x.

        Linux: Ignore user supplied downloadable hashes, as no hash
        checksums are available for those.

        Updated/fixed packages: bind, cryptopp, docker-containerd,
        dtc, efivar, gdb, imagemagick, ipmiutil, libcpprestsdk,
        libcurl, libgpiod, libid3tag, libv4l, log4cplus, luvi,
        madplay, mender, mosquitto, poco, postgresql, proftpd,
        pulseaudio, python-django, qemu, qt5base, qwt, rabbitmq-c,
        reaver, safeclip, stress-ng, swupdate, syslog-ng, systemd,
        tor, unzip, xenomai

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

        #11501: compile sdl2 with enable wayland
        #11681: .. unable to initialize decompress status for section..

2019.02-rc1, released February 13th, 2019

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.


        Dependencies:

        Require Python >= 2.7 as it is needed for E.G. building
        libglib2.

        Ensure GNU gzip is used for reproducible tarballs (instead of
        pigz)


        Infrastucture:

        Ensure the PLATFORM and OS environment variables are not set,
        as they cause build issues for some packages.

        The package list infrastructure now correctly handles packages
        installing files with old mtime.

        Add a config option to force all optional host utilities to be
        built, even if suitable versions are available on the build
        machine.

        graph-build-time: Also show time spent downloading

        Download: fixes for SSH/SCP support

        Ensure user provided permissions override permissions from
        packages.

        SDK: Fix handling of relative symlinks (targets starting with
        '.' or '..')

        BR2_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_PATH setting to customize the default path
        for processes.

        The custom skeleton logic will now populate the needed /bin,
        /lib, /sbin directories/symlinks if not present. Merged /usr
        can now be used with a custom skeleton.

        Rootfs overlays can now override symbolic links from
        packages. This was disabled to ensure the correct symbolic
        links are present when merged /usr is used. Instead validate
        that the rootfs overlays do not include invalid /bin, /sbin
        and /lib entries.

        The waf infrastructure now support the <pkg>_SUBDIR variable,
        similar to the other package types.

        cmake: Also set CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION in toolchainfile.cmake

        Various improvements to the meson infrastructure.

        Luarocks: A Buildroot addon has been added to automate
        creating a Buildroot package from luarocks, similar to
        scancpan and scanpypi.

        scanpypi: protect against zip-slip vulnerability in zip/tar
        handling

        check-package: fix Python 3 support

        get-developers: Fix behaviour when called from elsewhere than
        the toplevel directory.

        pkg-stats: Show latest upstream version of each package, based
        on data from release-monitoring.org

        kconfig: Fix for make linux-menuconfig / uboot-menuconfig from
        a clean tree when ccache is enabled.

        Default to sha256 password encoding, drop md5 support.


        Architecture:

        Support for RISC-V 32bit architecture, ARM A55, 75 and Saphira
        variants, MIPS support for mips32r3, mips64r3 and Marvell
        Octeon II/III variants.


        Toolchain:

        ARC toolchain 2018.09, ARM 8.2-2018.11, Codescape IMG/MTI MIPS
        2018.09-02, MUSL 1.1.21, GCC 6.5.0 / 7.4.0, GDB 8.2.1


        Packages:

        openssl: Bump to 1.1.1x series, bringing TLSv1.3 support and
        long term support.

        fftw: Split into fftw-{single,double,long-double,quad}
        packages for the different data precision options.

        libcurl: Now has explicit TLS backend selection options.

        linux: Support building device tree blobs with the -@ option
        for device tree overlays.

        weston: The weston-imx i.MX variant is now used when
        imx-gpu-viv is enabled

        pkgconf: Update to 1.5.3, which brings support for
        --define-prefix (used by GStreamer)

        Add host-python3-setuptools package to handle host python
        packages needing python3 with setuptools support.

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.

        Linux-headers: Support for kernel headers from a custom
        tarball / git repo added.

        Important / security related fixes.

        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.

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,

        Important / security related fixes.

        U-Boot: Ensure host version of ncurses is picked up and not

        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.

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.

        Important / security related fixes.

        Various fixes for building on modern distributions (GCC 8.x,
        no rpcgen utility).

        ARM: Default to binutils 2.28 and warn about newer binutils
        versions, which are known to cause boot failures for Linux
        kernels built in thumb mode.

        Busybox/mdev: Fix module autoloading.

        Busybox/sysvinit: inittab: Add /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr}
        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

        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.

        check-bin-arch: skip /lib/modules to allow 32-bit userland
        with 64bit kernel.

        dependencies: Blacklist tar 1.30+ and build our own host-tar
        if needed as tar 1.30+ changed the --numeric-owner output for
        long path names. Build host-tar before other host-dependencies

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Openssl is now a virtual package, which may be provided by
        OpenSSL (now renamed to libopenssl) or LibreSSL.

        libssh2: there is now an explicit choice of the backend to use
        (mbedtls, gnutls or openssl). Previously, the choice was implicit
        based on the TLS library that was selected. Now, it is possible to
        choose the backend, which is important if several TLS libraries are
        selected.

        netsnmp: all MIB files are now installed, making the target filesystem a
        bit bigger than before. To remove unneeded MIBS, you should use a
        post-build script.

        #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,
        Nationalchip gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit
        defconfig for raspberry pi 3, stm32f429-disc1.

        The raspberry pi zero-w and rpi3 compute module are now also
        supported by the rpi0 / rpi3 defconfigs, beaglebone green is
        supported by the beaglebone defconfig.

2017.02-rc1, Released February 11th, 2017

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Infrastructure:

          - numerous improvements to support reproducible builds

          - new waf-package package infrastructure to support packages
            that use the Waf build system. 6 packages converted to
            this infrastructure.

          - add option <pkg>_PREFER_INSTALLER to the perl package
            infrastructure

        Architecture:

          - add support for the OpenRISC CPU architecture

            support for selecting a specific ARM64 core

        Toolchain:

          - major rework of the external toolchain support. It is now
            split into several packages, one per external toolchain,
            and a common infrastructure.

          - important fix for musl to prevent a conflict between musl
            and kernel headers (fixes the build of numerous packages
            with musl)

          - uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.22, and therefore enable uClibc
            for ARM64, mips32r6 and mips64r6

          - add gdb 7.12.1, and switch to gdb 7.11 as the default

          - Linaro toolchains updated to 2016.11, ARC toolchain
            components updated to arc-2016.09, MIPS Codescape
            toolchains bumped to 2016.05-06, CodeSourcery AMD64 and
            NIOS2 toolchains bumped

          - remove Analog Devices toolchain for the Blackfin
            architecture, remove pre-built musl toolchains from
            musl.codu.org

        New defconfigs: Freescale i.MX23EVK, Qemu OpenRISC emulation,

2016.11-rc3, Released November 28th, 2016

        Fixes all over the tree, including a number of security fixes.

        The move from fakeroot to pseudo unfortunately brought a
        number of issues.  The SELinux issue described in #9386 which
        triggered the move to pseudo has been investigated further and
        a workaround implemented and the pseudo changes reverted.

        Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.11.

        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.

        New packages: arm-trusted-firmware, amd-catalyst, atop, aufs,
        aufs-util, fwts, gst1-rtsp-server, libglob, libite, mfgtools,
        mksh, motion, paho-mqtt-c, php-amqp, pseudo, python-couchdb,

        vdr, vdr-plugin-vnsiserver, vexpress-firmware, xvisor, iio and
        gpio linux tools.

        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.

        Toolchain: Support for GCC 5.3.x. ARC toolchain updated to
        arc-2015.12. Support for legacy uClibc dropped, default to
        uClibc-ng instead. Added sys/queue.h implementation for MUSL
        for compatibility. Updated versions of Code sourcery and
        Linaro toolchains. MIPS Codescape toolchains added. Version
        selection for preconfigured external toolchains removed.

        Linux: Automatically patch timeconst.pl for <3.9 kernels,
        which isn't compatible with modern perl versions, breaking the
        build when building on recent (Fedora 23, Debian
        Testing/Unstable, ..) distributions.

        Makedevs utility now accepts textual (non-numerical) user and
        group names.

2015.11-rc1, Released November, 7th 2015

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Architectures:

        - Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc
          only).

        - Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.

        - Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.

        - Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.

        Toolchains:

        - glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,
          uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.

        - The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external
          toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal
          toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare
          the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc
          patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.

        - Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.

        - Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from
          text-section-literals to auto-litpools.

        - Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC
          rather than a specific fork.

        - Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to
          2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on
          x86_64 hosts.

        Bootloaders:

        - Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.

        Defconfigs:

        Infrastructure:

        - Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.

        - Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce
          module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package
          builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the
          pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).

        - Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add
          the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module
          packages.

        - Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a
          check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.

        - Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare
          their actual source code. This is useful for packages for
          which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the
          case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE
          variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.

        - Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain
          wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory
          can be shared between different Buildroot builds.

        - Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a
          PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.

        - Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request
          certain parts of the source code tarball to not be
          extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and
          toolchain-external.

        - Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by
          the package infrastructure, to reference their package
          directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.

        Filesystems:

        - Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.

        - Simplification of shell profile files in the default
          skeleton.

        - Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp
          server packages create these when needed.

        - Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their
          corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for
          systemd configurations, and optional for other
          configurations.

        - Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.

        - New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.

2015.08-rc1, Released August, 5th 2015

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Architectures:

         - Refactor how the availability of an MMU is described.
         - Minimal support for Cortex-M3
         - Minimal support for AArch64 big-endian

        Toolchains:

         - Add CodeSourcery MIPS 2015.05, remove MIPS 2013.11
         - Use uClibc-ng as the default uClibc version, instead of the
           official uClibc, which hasn't done any release since 3+
           years
         - eglibc is now marked as deprecated
         - GCC: gcc 4.9.x is now the default and was updated to 4.9.3,
           support for gcc 5.x added.
         - Binutils: use Binutils 2.24 as the default, 2.25.x series
           bumped to 2.25.1, remove old Binutils 2.22.
         - Update ARC toolchain components to 2015.06
         - Add support for Fortran when building gcc

        Bootloaders:

         - Support for using the kconfig configuration system in
           U-Boot

        New Defconfigs:

         - VIA VAB-820/AMOS-820
         - OLimex OLinuxino A20 Lime
         - Many new defconfigs for Atmel evaluation boards:
           at91sam9rlek, at91sam9x5ek, sama5d3xek, sama5d4ek, sama5d4
           Xplained Ultra, sama5d3 Xplained.
         - ACME Systems Aria G25
         - WarPboard
         - Altera Cyclone 5 Development Board
         - Xilinx zc706
         - ARC AXS101 and AXS103 Software Development Platforms
         - Significant updates to Raspberry Pi / Raspberry Pi 2

        Infrastructure:

         - Buildroot takes better care now of generating predictable
           permissions in the target filesystem. However, existing
           permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay will no
           longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to add a
           permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set the
           required permissions.
         - Add support for kconfig fragments.
         - No longer pass --{enable,disable}-debug to autotools
           packages depending on the value of
           BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG. BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG now only controls
           whether we build with -g or not.
         - Support for extracting archives in .lzma in the generic
           package infrastructure.
         - Remove random-seed file from the default skeleton, since
           seeding the entropy pool with a known seed makes more harm
           than good.
         - In the CVS download helper, add support to use a date as
           the version.
         - Add support for a per-package <pkg>_STRIP_COMPONENTS
           variable, which packages can use to specify how many path
           components should be stripped when extracting the tarball.
         - Addition of a 'kernel-module' package infrastructure, which
           simplifies the packaging of external kernel modules. Many
           existing packages are converted to use it.
         - Allow bootloaders to be implemented in $(BR2_EXTERNAL)
         - Remove /etc/securetty from the default skeleton.
         - Migration of sysV initscripts from the default skeleton to
           a package called 'initscripts', installed only when Busbox
           init or sysvinit are used.
         - Migration of the skeleton logic to a proper 'skeleton'
           package.
         - Addition of a 'linux-tools' infrastructure in the 'linux'
           package, to support building user-space tools bundled
           within the Linux kernel sources, such as perf and cpupower.
         - Usage of backticks instead of make $(shell ...) to execute
           shell commands. This allows to delay the evaluation of such
           commands when actually needed, and not when expanding the
           variables. It is useful to make 'make printvars' less
           noisy, and as a preparation to support top-level parallel
           build.
         - Libtool .la files are not mungled for all package types,
           instead of being handled only for packages using the
           autotools-package infrastructure.
         - Add mechanism to allow packages to express a dependency on
           gcc versions. This is needed for packages that use C++11 or
           C11 support for example.

        Important package updates:

         - Complete rework of the matchbox packaging
         - Lots of fixes in packages for compatibility with musl and
           gcc 5.
         - Hash files added to a large number of packages.
         - Update a significant number of packages to use a new
           hosting, after the announcement of Google Code and
           Gitorious closing.
         - Major packages needed for SELinux support have been merged,
           but the support is not complete yet.
         - Significant update of OpenCV to version 3.0, and addition
           of lots of eatures.
         - Significant update of all packages supporting the GPU and
           VPU of i.MX ARM processors.
         - Addition of systemd support in a significant number of
           packages.
         - Qt5 updated to 5.5.0
         - Use modular X.org server by default instead of KDrive

        Filesystems:

         - Complete overhaul of the iso9660 support. Now allows to use
           directly IS9660 as the root filesystem format and not only
           an initrd, and supports Grub 2 and isolinux in addition to
           Grub.

2015.05-rc1, Released May 4th, 2015

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Architectures: Removed AVR32 support, deprecate SH64, added
        support for steamroller, corei7-avx and core-avx2 x86
        variants.

        Toolchains: IPv6 and Largefile support now enforced for
        uClibc. Corresponding Kconfig symbols removed.

        External CodeSourcery AMD64 2014.05, MUSL-cross 1.1.6 added,
        CS sh2, Xilinx microblaze v2/14.3 removed. Distro-class
        external toolchains are now detected and blacklisted.

        Internal toolchain support for Nios2 added, Blackfin
        removed. Aarch64 and sh musl support. uClibc-ng support added.

        Libatomic is now handled for internal and external
        toolchains. Link time optimization (LTO) support.

        New Defconfigs: Freescale i.MX28 EVK, i.MX31 PDK and SABRE
        Auto, Raspberry Pi 2, RIoTboard,

        Infrastructure: Hashes for a large number of packages have
        been added. Missing hashes now stop the build unless
        explicitly disabled.

        Spaces and colons (:) are now supported in package
        versions. Dependencies can now be listed for the patch step
        (<PKG>_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES). Kconfig and Linux kernel
        extensions infrastructure has been added.

        Makedevs now has a recursive (r) option.

        The variable containing the list of packages to build has been
        renamed from TARGETS to PACKAGES.

        Make external-deps / legal-info / source / source-check have
        been reimplemented using the package infrastructure, so their
        output/behaviour may differ from earlier (some packages were
        not included in the past).

        The old insecure DES password encoding is no longer supported.

        U-Boot patch option now support direct references to patch
        files and URLs in addition to directories of patches. The
        i.MX28 SD format (u-boot.sd) is now supported.

2015.02-rc1, Released February 8th, 2015

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Static/shared library handling reworked. This is now a
        tristate (shared only / shared and static / static
        only). Default is now shared only to speed up the
        build. BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is now called BR2_STATIC_LIBS.

        The toolchain (internal and external) will now warn when an
        unsafe library or header path is used (such as /usr/include or
        /usr/lib). If BR2_COMPILER_PARANOID_UNSAFE_PATH is enabled
        under build options this instead becomes an error.

        A installation path issue with the internal musl toolchain
        support has been fixed so it is now possible to reuse it as an
        external toolchain.

        Architectures: Freescale E5500 and E6500 PowerPC support
        added, deprecated MIPS 1/2/3/4 support removed.

        New defconfigs: Freescale p2020ds, MIPS creator CI20,
        Raspberrypi with DT, UDOO Quad.

        'make <foo>_defconfig' now saves the path to the defconfig in
        the .config, so a 'make savedefconfig' automatically updates
        it.

        Infrastructure for packages using the Erland rebar tool has
        been added.

        Hashes for a large number of packages have been added. Hashes
        are now checked for both target and host packages.

        The system menu now has an option to automatically configure a
        network interface through DHCP at bootup.

        The default filesystem skeleton now uses a separate tmpfs for
        /run instead of a symlink to /tmp/ for security reasons / to
        protect against conflicts with user generated temporary files.

        BR2_EXTERNAL is now exported to post-build and post-image
        scripts.

        New packages: bdwgc, benejson, blktrace, bootstrap, cgic,
        ding-libs, dvdauthor, ejabberd, erlang-goldrush, erlang-lager,

        #7646: strftime on datetime not works on python3

2014.11-rc1, Released November 12th, 2014

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Toolchains: Use -mcpu / -march instead of -mtune. Support
        additional ARC and sparc variants. Updated Code sourcery
        and Linaro external toolchains.

        Defconfigs: Freescale iMX6DL SabreSD, Minnowboard MAX, QEMU
        powerpc64 pseries added and a number of updates to the
        existing configurations.

        Infrastructure: Buildroot is now less noisy when built with
        the silent option (make -s).
        A number of package infrastructure variables have been renamed
        from *_OPT to *_OPTS for constency. Buildroot will complain if
        the old names are used to assist in updating out of tree
        packages.
        Fixes for host systems where bash isn't located in /bin, and
        older systems not supporting mktemp --tmpdir.
        Various cleanups of users/groups in the default skeleton.
        There is now an option to choose what shell /bin/sh points to.

        Documentation: Various updates to the user manual. The
        asciidoc documentation handling has now been extended so it
        can be used by (BR2_EXTERNAL) packages.

2014.08-rc1, Released August 8th, 2014

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Architecture: Powerpc64 BE/LE added, AVR32 deprecated.
        Improved altivec / SPE /atomic instructions
        handling. Additional PowerPC CPU variants added.

        Defconfigs: Atmel SAMA5D3, Congatec QMX6, Lego ev3, TS-5x00,
        qemu-system-xtensa, qemu-aarch64-virt added. A number of
        tweaks to existing ones. lpc32xx defconfigs removed.

        Toolchain: Microblaze support for internal musl toolchain.
        Default to GCC 4.8 for internal toolchain, remove deprecated
        4.3 and 4.6 versions.
        External CodeSourcery / Linaro toolchain updates, option to
        copy gconv libraries for external toolchains.

        Infrastructure: graph-depends: misc fixes, transitive
        dependencies are not drawn by default. Download handling is
        now done using helper scripts. Integrity of downloads can now
        be verified using sha* hashes. Subversion download now uses
        peg revisions for robustness.
        Legal-info: License info of local or overridden packages are
        saved as well. Toolchain packages are also taken into account.
        autotools: Static linking with libtool / v1.5 improvements.
        Gettextize support, similar to autoreconf.
        kconfig package infrastructure added.

        Misc: Version selection for busybox dropped.

2014.05-rc2, Released May 21st, 2014

        Fixes all over the tree.

        Stripping using sstrip has been deprecated.

        BR2_EXTERNAL can now also be used to implement custom
        filesystem types.

        The newly added BR2_GRAPH_DEPTH variable to limit the depth of
        the generated dependency graph has been renamed to
        BR2_GRAPH_DEPS_OPTS, so additional options can be supported in
        the future.

        The virtual package infrastructure will now error out early
        if multiple packages providing the same virtual package has
        been enabled (E.G. opengl). This change requires that the
        packages explicitly declare what virtual package(s) they

2014.05-rc1, Released May 13th, 2014

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Architectures: Support for MIPS o32 ABI on MIPS-64 targets has
        been removed. Building o32 ELF files for MIPS64 is an exotic
        configuration that nobody should be using. If o32 is required,
        then is better if it's built for MIPS 32-bit cores so only
        32-bit instructions will be used leading to a more efficient
        o32 usage.
        Support for the ARM A12 variant and Intel corei7.

        Configs: Minnowboard and Altera SoCkit added, QEMU updates.

        Bootloaders: Grub2 and gummiboot support, syslinux support
        extended.

        Toolchains: GCC 4.9. Glibc 2.19. Support for the musl C
        library for internal and external toolchains. 4.8-R3 support
        for ARC, Internal toolchain support for Aarch64 and
        Microblaze. Environment variable to control debug output of
        toolchain wrapper renamed to BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER to match the
        other variables. Toolchain tuple vendor name can now be
        customized. Updated external Linaro ARM/Aarch64
        toolchains. Added external Linaro ARMEB toolchain.
        A GDB gdbinit file is now generated for external toolchains to
        automatically set the correct sysroot.

        Kconfig handling for minimum kernel headers version required
        for packages. Now packages needing specific kernel header
        features can specify these requirements in Kconfig.

        Infrastructure: Support for (but disabled as it leads to
        unreproducible builds) toplevel parallel builds. See the
        comment at the top of Makefile for details about how to enable
        it and what the problems are if you want to test it.
        Python package infrastructure extended to support Python 3.x
        Perl and virtual package infrastructure support added.
        PRE_*_HOOKS support for all build steps.

2014.02-rc1, Released February 11th, 2014

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Support for external packages/defconfigs (BR2_EXTERNAL). See
        user manual for details.

        Cleanup of environment variable names for consistency. The
        download directory location override (BUILDROOT_DL_DIR) is now
        called BR2_DL_DIR. Likewise the name of the current .config is
        renamed from BUILDROOT_CONFIG to BR2_CONFIG. Please update
        your post build scripts if you use this! BUILD_DIR is now also
        exported to the post build/image scripts.

        Toolchain: GCC 4.8 fix for ARM stack corruption, reverted
        uClibc pread/pwrite backport as they cause issues on certain
        architectures, new Linaro and Sourcery Codebench toolchains.
        x86: Support for AMD Jaguar cores, SSE4.x, SH: SH2/SH3/SH3EB
        variants removed, Microblaze: Internal toolchain support

        Legal infrastructure: Info is now split between host and
        target packages, large number of license annotations.

        Lua: selection between lua 5.1 / 5.2, luarocks support

        Python: package infrastructure, many new packages.

        Defconfigs: Armadeus APF51 + Zedboard added, apf27, apf28,
        beaglebone, microblaze, pandaboard, qemu, raspberry pi
        updated.

2012.08-rc1, Released August 1st, 2012

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        Integration of a legal information reporting infrastructure,
        which allows to generate detailed informations about the
        licenses and source code of all components of a system
        generated by Buildroot. License information will progressively
        be added on packages.

        Default configuration files added for Calao-systems USB-A9263
        and Calao-systems USB-A9G20-LPW.

        External toolchains update: allow download of a custom
        toolchain, add Linaro 2012.05 and 2012.06 for ARM, add
        Blackfin toolchain 2012R1-BETA1, add Sourcery CodeBench MIPS
        2011.09.

        Allow the restriction of downloads to the primary site only.
        This is useful for project developers who want to ensure that
        the project can be built even if the upstream tarball
        locations disappear.

        Add a 'System configuration' choice to select between 3
        different init systems: Busybox init, SysV init and Systemd
        init.

        Cleanups to the package infrastructure. The visible change to
        developers is that $(eval $(call AUTOTARGETS)) is now $(eval
        $(autotools-package)), and similarly for other package
        infrastructures and host packages. Refer to the documentation
        for details.

        By default, automatic detection of the number of compilation
        jobs to use, depending on the number of CPUs available.

        Improvements to generate systems with static libraries only
        (infrastructure and package fixes).

        Add proper support in the Linux kernel package to generate
        Device Tree Blobs or combined Device Tree / Kernel
        images. This will be useful on Microblaze, PowerPC and ARM,
        which are architectures making extensive use of the Device
        Tree.

2011.05-rc1, Released May 18th, 2011:

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        External toolchain improvements: We now build a binary
        toolchain wrapper and install it into HOST_DIR/usr/bin, which
        enforces the correct compiler arguments, making an external
        toolchain as easy to use outside of Buildroot as the internal
        ones are. This also brought a cleanup of CFLAGS, making the
        Buildroot build output easier to read.

        Rootfs device handling improvements: Choice between static
        /dev, devtmpfs and devtmpfs with either mdev or udev.

        Toolchain: More preconfigured codesourcery external
        toolchains, improved Crosstool-NG support, fix for GCC
        snapshot versions, GCC 4.4.6 / 4.5.3, experimental GCC 4.6.0
        support, target-GCC fixes, uClibc fixes, 0.9.32-rc3 support.

        Bootloaders: U-boot 2011.03, Barebox 2011.05.0

        Linux: support for custom kernel image targets, E.G. for
        powerpc builds with embedded device trees.

        Misc fixes for qemu defconfigs, ensuring correct serial
        terminal setup out of the box.

        Misc gentarget / autotools handling fixes.

2011.02-rc1, Released February 14th, 2011:

        Fixes all over the tree and new features.

        External toolchain improvements: clarification of the options,
        and introduction of the toolchain profile concept, for
        well-known toolchains. Buildroot is now capable of
        automatically downloading and extracting well-known toolchains
        (for the moment, CodeSourcery ARM, PowerPC, MIPS and SuperH
        toolchains are supported). Crosstool-NG backend updated and
        improved.

        Complete rework of how hardware boards are supported.
        Each board now only has a single defconfig file, and all
        board-specific options have been removed. See
        docs/buildroot.html#board_support for details.

        Added support for the following boards: Mini2440, Qemu ARM
        Versatile, Qemu MIPSel Malta, Qemu PowerPC G3beige, Qemu SH4
        r2d and Qemu x86. The Qemu boards support allows to easily
        build systems that are known to work under Qemu.

        Initial support for Blackfin processors.

        Staging directory moved into $(O)/host/usr/<tuple>/sysroot, in
        preparation for support of SDK. For the same reason, the
        toolchain binaries (cross-compiler and other related tools)
        are now installed in $(O)/host/usr/bin/. The cross pkg-config
        now also automatically returns correct values for cross
        compilation, without needing any environment variables to be
        set.

        Ccache support reworked. Now used for both host and target
        compilation, and cache is stored in ~/.buildroot-ccache.

        Toolchain: uClibc 0.9.32-rc2, several components moved to
        normal AUTOTARGET packages.

        Generic cmake infrastructure, similar to the existing
        GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS.

        Support for bzr downloads, next to the existing git/svn support.

        Kconfig infrastructure rebased against 2.6.38-rc3, bringing
        misc fixes. 'xconfig' now uses Qt4 rather than Qt3.

        EXT2 file system size handling improved, UBI image support, fs
        configuration options cleanup, U-Boot/Barebox version bumps.

        Makefile.autotools.in and we now build host versions of
        packages where needed for build time dependencies instead of
        relying on the correct versions being available on the build
        host. Ancient toolchain / busybox versions have furthermore
        been removed as announced in the 2009.02 release notes.

        New packages: flac, gob2, lzop, taglib, wpa_supplicant

        Updated packages: avahi, bind, binutils, busybox, dbus, dbus-glib,
        directfb, dnsmasq, freetype, gcc, gmp, gstreamer, iptables, kernel
        headers, kexec, libglib2, libpng, libsndfile, lua, mpfr, ntfs-3g,
        openssl, php, qtopia4, rsync, samba, sqlite, tar, uboot, uclibc,
        util-linux, xorg7, xerces
