2020.11-rc1, released November 4th, 2020
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Architectures: Support for IBM s390x
Toolchain: use Secure-PLT rather than BSS-PLT for PowerPC
32. Binutils 2.35.1 added, now defaulting to 2.34. ARC
2020.09-release toolchain. GCC 7.x dropped. RISC-V support for
uclibc-ng. Support for Bootlin external toolchains.
SELinux support improvements: File security contexts are now
set when the file systems are created, so there is no need to
run restorecon on first boot / read only rootfs is supported.
An optimized / stripped refpolicy SELinux policy is now
used. Packages can enable additional refpolicy modules using
<pkg>_SELINUX_MODULES.
support/scripts/cve-checker: Utility script to check for known
CVEs in just the packages enabled in a Buildroot configuration
rather than all packages, by passing the output of 'make
show-info' to it.
Go: Modules handling. The module name must be specified using
<pkg>_GOMOD.
BR2_EXTERNAL: Support for defining skeleton and init system
packages in external trees.
meson: Correct SDK cross-compilation.conf file when
per-package builds were used to build SDK.
systemd: Use /run rather than /var/run for PID files in units.
Fakeroot scripts (BR2_ROOTFS_POST_FAKEROOT_SCRIPT) are now run
after all finalization hooks (including pre-rootfs) to ensure
they can override any late configuration done by packages.
support/script/pycompile: Rework logic to ensure .pyc files
contain absolute target paths, fixing code inspection at
runtime when executed with cwd != '/'.
support/scripts/setlocalversion: Correct Mercurial output to
match behaviour with Git.
support/scripts/apply-patches.sh: Use patch
--no-backup-if-mismatch, so we no longer blindly have to
remove *.orig files after patching, fixing issues with
packages containing such files.

nanopi-m4, Hardkernel odroid-c2, Kontron SMARC-sAL28, NXP
