+2016.08, Not yet released:
+
+ Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+ Toolchain: Fortran support added. eglibc support removed, musl
+ support no longer experimental. Blackfin and Microblaze
+ support for internal uClibc-ng toolchain, m68k/coldfire
+ improvements. The check for unsafe (build host) directories
+ access (/usr/include and /usr/lib) is now enabled by default.
+ Unused locales are now purged by default to save space (and
+ the default list of locales shrunk). The option to control
+ this has now moved from the toolchain menu to system
+ configuration.
+
+ Legal info improvements: sources are now hardlinked instead of
+ copied if possible to save space. Patches and extra downloads
+ are also saved.
+
+ An experimental configuration knob (BR2_REPRODUCIBLE) has been
+ added to make the builds more reproducible (E.G. less
+ differences in the binary output between builds of the same
+ configuration). This is still work in progress.
+
+ An option to execute a custom script inside the fakeroot
+ environment used to the generate the filesystem (E.G. to tweak
+ permissions or similar) has been added.
+
+ Git support now supports git submodules if
+ <pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES is enabled.
+
+ Hash files for integritry validation have been added for all
+ packages.
+
+ Scanpypi utility to help creating packages from the Python
+ package index (pypi) has been added.
+
+ The makedevs utility now has support for adding file
+ capabilities using extended attributes.
