effect:
|

|

- prior to this revamp, when BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, each

package could decide to enable or not NLS support. When

|

|

- 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

|
||||
|
||||
- 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 link usr -> . 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
|
||||
- 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.
