2018.11-rc1, not yet released
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.
