+
+       Major revamp of the gettext handling, with user-visible
+       effect:
+
+         - prior to this revamp, when BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, each
+           package could decide to enable or not NLS support. When
+           BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was disabled, NLS support was forced off
+           by passing --disable-nls to packages.
+
+         - 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
+            packages.
+
+       Therefore, if you need NLS support in packages, you must now
+       explicitly enable the BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS option.
