+2019.11-rc1, not yet released
+
+ Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+ Dependencies: Gcc/g++ 4.8 or newer is now required on the
+ build host.
+ Ensure host has JSON::PP perl module installed if
+ webkitgtk/wpewebkit packages are enabled as it is needed
+ during their build process.
+
+ Toolchain: Add support for the D programming language (GCC
+ 9.x, Glibc).
+ GCC 9.x updated to 9.2.0, Glibc updated to 2.30, Musl updated
+ to 1.1.24, uClibc-ng updated to 1.0.32, ARC toolchain updated
+ to arc-2019.09-eng002.
+ Musl: Add a patch to add support for
+ sched_{get,set}scheduler() and sched_{get,set}param() for
+ compatibility.
+ Generate check-headers program under BUILD_DIR rather than
+ /tmp to fix issues with distributions mounting /tmp noexec.
+ Also copy libssp.so for external toolchains if SSP
+ to handle toolchains providing SSP support in libssp rather
+ than in the C library
+
+ New defconfigs: Beaglebone AI, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO Plus2,
+ Libre Computer "La Frite", QEMU Armv7-A with trustzone/OP-TEE,
+ STM32MP157 Discovery Kit
+
+ Arch: Default to a sensible floating point ABI based on the
+ selected ISA extensions rather than always defaulting to
+ ILP32/64
+
+ Graph-size: Package sizes are now shown in human readable form
+ (Kib/Mib/Gib) rather than always in Kib. Binary (KB/MB/GB)
+ format can be selected using the --binary option. The cut-off
+ limit for classifying packages as "other" is now configurable
+ using the --size-limit option.
+
+ Br2-external: Linux kernel extensions can now also be provided
+ in an external tree by adding packages under
+ linux/linux-ext-*.mk. See the manual for details.
+
+ Fakeroot now works correctly under Microsoft Windows 10
+ Services for Linux, which does not provide SYSV IPC support
+
+ The check-uniq-files logic which would complain if multiple
+ packages would touch the same files has been removed as it
+ causes issues in certain situations (when packages are
+ rebuilt) and the issue is no longer considered a problem for
+ toplevel parallel builds as those will use a per-package
+ staging/target directory.
+ With this removed, Python is no longer required for a basic
+ build (only for optional scripts).
+
+ support/scripts/genimage.sh will no longer make a copy of
+ TARGET_DIR, speeding up post-build/image scripts.
+
+ The runtime test logic now uses Python 3.x.
+
+ A 'v' prefix has been dropped from the <pkg>_SOURCE variable
+ for a number of packages to match the version numbers used by
+ https://release-monitoring.org
+
+ New packages: caps, collectl, dav1d, fstrcmp, ima-evm-utils,
+ jitterentropy-library, kodi-vfs-rar, kodi-vfs-sftp, libavl,
+ libhttpserver, libmspack, libnetconf2, libolm, libyang, lrzip,
+ mdevd, minimodem, musl-fts, netifrc, ogre, openlayers,
+ python-aioredis, python-asgiref,
+ python-backports-functools-lru-cache, python-bluezero,
+ python-brotli, python-channels, python-channels-redis,
+ python-colorlog, python-daphne, python-django-enumfields,
+ python-jaraco-functools, python-kiwisolver, python-msgfy,
+ python-rpi-ws281x, python-setuptools-scm-git-archive,
+ python-simplelogging, python-soupsieve, python-sqliteschema,
+ python-sqlparse, python-tqdm, python-webencodings, qt5webview,
+ restclient-cpp, ripgrep, snmpclitools, sunwait, sysrepo,
+ uacme, utf8proc, uvw, ytree
+
+ Removed packages: alljoyn, alljoyn-base, alljoyn-tcl-base,
+ devmem2, eventlog, kodi-audiodecoder-opus,
+ kodi-screensaver-planestate, kodi-visualisation-waveforhue,
+ python-pysnmp-apps, riscv-pk, ustr
