+2017.02-rc1, Released February 11th, 2017
+
+       Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+       Infrastructure:
+
+         - numerous improvements to support reproducible builds
+
+         - new waf-package package infrastructure to support packages
+           that use the Waf build system. 6 packages converted to
+           this infrastructure.
+
+         - add support for the OpenRISC CPU architecture
+
+         - merge description of the ARM and ARM64 options, and add
+           support for selecting a specific ARM64 core
+
+       Toolchain:
+
+         - major rework of the external toolchain support. It is now
+           split into several packages, one per external toolchain,
+           and a common infrastructure.
+
+         - important fix for musl to prevent a conflict between musl
+           and kernel headers (fixes the build of numerous packages
+           with musl)
+
+         - uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.22, and therefore enable uClibc
+           for ARM64, mips32r6 and mips64r6
+
+         - add gdb 7.12.1, and switch to gdb 7.11 as the default
+
+         - Linaro toolchains updated to 2016.11, ARC toolchain
+           components updated to arc-2016.09, MIPS Codescape
+           toolchains bumped to 2016.05-06, CodeSourcery AMD64 bumped
+           to 2016.11-19
+
+         - remove Analog Devices toolchain for the Blackfin
+           architecture
