+2021.05-rc1, not yet released
+
+	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+	FORTIFY_SOURCE, PIC/PIE, RELRO and SSP security hardening
+	options are now enabled by default.
+
+	Dependencies: Explicitly detect and bail out if PATH contains
+	spaces or tabs. A number of packages fail to build in such
+	setups, so explicitly inform about this.
+
+	Infrastructure: Expose CONFIG_DIR to post-build/post-image
+	scripts, so they can call the Buildroot Makefile in the
+	correct directory for both in-tree / out-of-tree builds.
+
+	CMake infrastructure: Use CMAKE_EXE_LINKERFLAGS rather than
+	CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to link with libatomic to fix an compatibility
+	issue with poppler. Bump minimal host cmake version to 3.16
+	(from 3.15) to fix a compatibility issue with domoticz.
+
+	Meson: Use correct C++ host compiler (rather than C compiler)
+
+	utils/scanpypi: Explicitly use python3 for compatibility with
+	packages using python3 syntax in setup.py
+
+	support/download: Fix tarball generation (from git/svn repos)
+	including symlinks pointing to ./<something>. Fix svn download
+	for <1.9 clients or repos using CVS-style keywords.
+
+	support/scripts/cve.py: Use the (significantly) faster yajl2
+	ijson backend for older (< 2.5) ijson versions rather than the
+	slow python default, speeding up pkg-stats by ~2x.
+
+	Toolchain: Add logic to work around binutils bug 21464
+	(affecting OpenRISC), bug 27597 (affecting Nios II) and drop
+	the now longer applicable bug 19615 / 20006 handling.
+
+	Python{,3}: Fix byte compiling python files with short (single
+	character before .py) file names.
+
+	CPE meta data has been added for a large number of packages
+
+	New defconfigs: Acme Systems Acqua A5 (256/512MB), Beagleboard
+	BeagleV, Boundary devices Nitrogen8M Plus SOM, NXP i.MX 8M
+	Plus EVK, QEMU PPC e500mc
+
+	New packages: beaglev-ddrinit, beaglev-secondboot, janet,
+	kodi-inputstream-ffmpegdirect, kodi-vfs-libarchive,
+	kodi-visualisation-matrix, libxcrypt, libqrtr-glib, log4qt,
+	mawk, perl-parse-yapp, postgis, protozero, python-flask-wtf,
+	python-iwlib, python-semantic-version, python-setuptools-rust,
+	python-toml, riscv64-elf-toolchain, siproxyd, uftrace, zfs
+
+	Removed packages: iostat, kodi-platform,
+	kodi-screensaver-crystalmorph, monkey
