+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
