+2015.11-rc1, not yet released
+
+	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+	Architectures:
+
+	- Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc
+	  only).
+
+	- Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.
+
+	- Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.
+
+	- Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.
+
+	Toolchains:
+
+	- glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,
+	  uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.
+
+	- The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external
+	  toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal
+	  toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare
+	  the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc
+	  patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.
+
+	- Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.
+
+	- Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from
+	  text-section-literals to auto-litpools.
+
+	- Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC
+	  rather than a specific fork.
+
+	- Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to
+	  2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on
+	  x86_64 hosts.
+
+	Bootloaders:
+
+	- Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.
+
+	Defconfigs:
+
+	- Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary
+	  Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,
+	  OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,
+	  Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.
+
+	- Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,
+	  cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,
+	  mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,
+	  raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.
+
+	- Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,
+	  calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.
+
+	Infrastructure:
+
+	- Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.
+
+	- Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce
+	  module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package
+	  builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the
+	  pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).
+
+	- Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add
+	  the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module
+	  packages.
+
+	- Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a
+	  check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.
+
+	- Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare
+	  their actual source code. This is useful for packages for
+	  which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the
+	  case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE
+	  variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.
+
+	- Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain
+	  wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory
+	  can be shared between different Buildroot builds.
+
+	- Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a
+	  PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.
+
+	- Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request
+	  certain parts of the source code tarball to not be
+	  extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and
+	  toolchain-external.
+
+	- Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by
+	  the package infrastructure, to reference their package
+	  directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.
+
+	Filesystems:
+
+	- Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.
+
+	- Simplification of shell profile files in the default
+	  skeleton.
+
+	- Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp
+	  server packages create these when needed.
+
+	- Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their
+	  corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for
+	  systemd configurations, and optional for other
+	  configurations.
+
+	- Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.
+
+	- New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.
