+2017.02-rc1, Released February 11th, 2017
+
+	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+	Infrastructure:
+
+	  - numerous improvements to support reproducible builds
+
+	  - new waf-package package infrastructure to support packages
+	    that use the Waf build system. 6 packages converted to
+	    this infrastructure.
+
+	  - add support for the OpenRISC CPU architecture
+
+	  - merge description of the ARM and ARM64 options, and add
+	    support for selecting a specific ARM64 core
+
+	Toolchain:
+
+	  - major rework of the external toolchain support. It is now
+	    split into several packages, one per external toolchain,
+	    and a common infrastructure.

+	  - important fix for musl to prevent a conflict between musl
+	    and kernel headers (fixes the build of numerous packages
+	    with musl)
+
+	  - uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.22, and therefore enable uClibc
+	    for ARM64, mips32r6 and mips64r6
