+2015.11-rc1, not yet released
+
+ 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:
+
+ - Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary
+ Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,
+ OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,
+ Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.
+
+ - Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,
+ cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,
+ mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,
+ raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.
+
+ - Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,
+ calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.
+
+ 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.
