2018.08.2, Released October 25th, 2018
Important / security related fixes.
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/get-developers: Add -e option for use with git
send-email.
utils/diffconfig: Make it work for (non-Buildroot) config
files not using the BR2_ prefix.
u-boot: Fix for environment image handling on big endian
systems.
Updated/fixed packages: binutils, ca-certificates,
cups-filters, dtc, erlang, file, freetype, gcc, git, gvfs,
jasper, leveldb, libarchive, libssh, live555, ljlinenoise,
mariadb, mongoose, netsnmp, nmap, nodejs, ntp, open-plc-utils,

Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):
#11396: uboot environment image checksum invalid if target is big endian
2018.08.1, Released October 7th, 2018
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.
printvars: Fix issue with exceeding shell command line length
limits for certain setups.
Updated/fixed packages: acpid, android-tools, apache,
arp-scan, bandwidthd, bind, brltty, clamav, connman, cppcms,

xlib_libXfont, xlib_libXft, xlib_libxshmfence,
xutil_makedepend, zeromq
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,
moarvm, php, qt, qt5virtualkeyboard, qt5webengine, screen,
sdl2, squashfs, uboot, xen

2018.05, Released June 1st, 2018
Minor fixes.
Download: Work around for hanging connections for packages
from CVS, by adding a 10 minute max timeout.
Updated/fixed packages: binutils, clang, dash, expect, git,
glibc, jpeg-turbo, libjpeg, log4cplus, openvmtools, xen,
Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):
#11051: runtime issue on STM32 with usage of binutils 2.29.x
2018.05-rc3, Released May 28th, 2018
Fixes all over the tree.
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.
Infrastructure: Error out for packages using the 'local'
method but forgetting to specify <pkg>_SITE.
Build rpcgen for the host when needed to support distributions
no longer shipping rpcgen with glibc (E.G. recent Fedora).
Updated/fixed packages: autofs, bash-completion, binutils,
busybox, cjson, elf2flt, libcoap, libcurl, libtirpc, lrzsz,

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.

2018.02.3, Released June 18th, 2018
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.

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.

users' locale.
Check-bin-arch: Add support for per-package ignore paths
(<pkg>_BIN_ARCH_EXCLUDE).

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.
Toolchain: Linaro toolchains updated to 2017.08, ARC toolchain
updated to 2017.09, Glibc updated to 2.26, Glibc support for
ARCv2. The toolchain wrapper now handles SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for
older (pre-gcc7.x) toolchains for BR2_REPRODUCIBLE.
