+2019.02-rc1, not yet released
+
+       Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+
+       Dependencies:
+
+       Require Python >= 2.7 as it is needed for E.G. building
+       libglib2.
+
+       Ensure GNU gzip is used for reproducible tarballs (instead of
+       pigz)
+
+
+       Infrastucture:
+
+       Ensure the PLATFORM and OS environment variables are not set,
+       as they cause build issues for some packages.
+
+       The package list infrastructure now correctly handles packages
+       installing files with old mtime.
+
+       Add a config option to force all optional host utilities to be
+       built, even if suitable versions are available on the build
+       machine.
+
+       graph-build-time: Also show time spent downloading
+
+       Download: fixes for SSH/SCP support
+
+       Ensure user provided permissions override permissions from
+       packages.
+
+       SDK: Fix handling of relative symlinks (targets starting with
+       '.' or '..')
+
+       BR2_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_PATH setting to customize the default path
+       for processes.
+
+       The custom skeleton logic will now populate the needed /bin,
+       /lib, /sbin directories/symlinks if not present. Merged /usr
+       can now be used with a custom skeleton.
+
+       Rootfs overlays can now override symbolic links from
+       packages. This was disabled to ensure the correct symbolic
+       links are present when merged /usr is used. Instead validate
+       that the rootfs overlays do not include invalid /bin, /sbin
+       and /lib entries.
+
+       The waf infrastructure now support the <pkg>_SUBDIR variable,
+       similar to the other package types.
+
+       cmake: Also set CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION in toolchainfile.cmake
+
+       Various improvements to the meson infrastructure.
+
+       Luarocks: A Buildroot addon has been added to automate
+       creating a Buildroot package from luarocks, similar to
+       scancpan and scanpypi.
+
+       check-package: fix Python 3 support
+
+       get-developers: Fix behaviour when called from elsewhere than
+       the toplevel directory.
+
+       pkg-stats: Show latest upstream version of each package, based
+       on data from release-monitoring.org
+
+       kconfig: Fix for make linux-menuconfig / uboot-menuconfig from
+       a clean tree when ccache is enabled.
+
+       Default to sha256 password encoding, drop md5 support.
+
+
+       Architecture:
+
+       Support for RISC-V 32bit architecture, ARM A55, 75 and Saphira
+       variants, MIPS support for mips32r3, mips64r3 and Marvell
+       Octeon II/III variants.

+       packages for the different data precision options.
+

+
+       linux: Support building device tree blobs with the -@ option
+       for device tree overlays.

+       weston: The weston-imx i.MX variant is now used when
+       imx-gpu-viv is enabled
+
+       pkgconf: Update to 1.5.3, which brings support for
+       --define-prefix (used by GStreamer)
+
+       Add host-python3-setuptools package to handle host python
+       packages needing python3 with setuptools support.
