[Buildroot] Buildroot 2017.11-rc1 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2017.11-rc1 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.11-rc1.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.11-rc1.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot

Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.

Slightly smaller (1026 changes) than other recent cycles, but still a
lot of activity and contributions from more than 100 unique
contributors!

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

- Openssl is now a virtual package, which may be provided by OpenSSL
  (now renamed to libopenssl) or LibreSSL.

- libssh2: there is now an explicit choice of the backend to use
  (mbedtls, gnutls or openssl). Previously, the choice was implicit
  based on the TLS library that was selected. Now, it is possible to
  choose the backend, which is important if several TLS libraries are
  selected.

- netsnmp: all MIB files are now installed, making the target filesystem
  a bit bigger than before. To remove unneeded MIBS, you should use a
  post-build script.

- New defconfigs: Atmel SAM45D27, Bananapi M1 and M2 Plus, Engicam
  i.CoreM6 Qt5 configuration, i.MX6 sabreauto (mainline kernel/u-boot),
  i.MX6Q sabresd Qt5 configuration, i.MX7d-pico, QEMU ppc64le, Raspberry
  pi3 Qt5 webengine configuration, Technologic TS-7680.

- Linaro ARM(eb) 2017.08 support, Glibc 2.26, Glibc support for ARCv2

- Reproducible: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH handling in the toolchain wrapper for
  older (pre-gcc7) compilers.

features, rather than wait until 2017.11 is released.
