[Buildroot] Buildroot 2017.05 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2017.05 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.05.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.05.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.

This was another big development cycle with more than 1400 changes all
over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy to
see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

Infrastructure:

- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture to catch
  natively built binaries or binaries built for other architecture
  variants.

- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The logic was
  not working working reliable in all setups as it depends on the host
  filesystem behaviour, so instead now the size has to be specified
  explicitly (defaults to 60MB).

- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
  support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.

- A script to check for common style issues in new packages before
  submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package

- Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to support/testing


Toolchain:

- External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain updated
  to 2017.03, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05

- A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain handling,
  including C library detection, multilib and ld.so handling

- Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled for uClibc-ng

- Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27


Architectures:

- Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.


License handling:

- The package license markings for legal info now uses the SPDX short
  identifiers for the license string where possible.


New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro, Nationalchip
gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit defconfig for raspberry
pi 3, stm32f429-disc1.

The raspberry pi zero-w and rpi3 compute module are now also supported
by the rpi0 / rpi3 defconfigs, beaglebone green is supported by the
beaglebone defconfig.

The next release will be 2017.08. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of August and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2017.08 is out. If you need longer support then consider using our
long term support release (2017.02.x) instead which will be supported
until 2018.02.
