[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2019.08 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2019.08.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2019.08.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 1200 changes all
over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm once again very
happy to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

- Architectures: Internal toolchain support for C-SKY, support for ARC
  HS48 v3.1 and HS38 with Quad MAC & FPU, support for ARM A76, A76/A55
  big.LITTLE, emag, neoverse-N1, phecda and tsv110.

- toolchain: ARC toolchain updated to 2019.03 (binutils 2.32.51 / GCC
  8.3.1 / glibc 2.29), ARM AAarch64/ARM toolchains updated to
  2019.03. Add GCC 9.1.0, remove GCC 4.9 and 6.5, add GDB 8.3, remove
  GDB 7.12 and 8.0.1, default to GDB 8.2, GCC 8.3.0. Musl updated to
  1.1.23, bringing support for RISC-V 64.

- Br2-external: Add support for injecting additional options to the list
  of preconfigured external toolchains and libjpeg and openssl providers
  using files under provides/. See the manual for details.

- pkg-stats: support outputting in JSON format with --json for easier
  post processing. The classic HTML output is still available with
  --html. Parallelize access to release-monitoring.org to speed up
  runtime.

- Drop non-conventional version prefix/suffix/separators for packages
  for better compatibility with release-monitoring.org

- Init systems: Add basic openrc support and <pkg>_INSTALL_INIT_OPENRC
  variable in the infrastructure to install openrc service scripts if
  enabled.

- New packages: bitcoin, c-capnproto, fatcat, ifmetric, jack1,
  jailhouse, libubootenv, luasyslog, mender-grubenv, murata-cyw-fw,
  openrc, piglit, python-colorama, python-cycler, python-hiredis,
  python-ifaddr, python-inflection, python-iptables, python-matplotlib,
  python-periphery, python-pycairo, python-redis, python-termcolor,
  python-tinyrpc, python-txdbus, skeleton-init-openrc, spdlog, sshguard,
  stellarium, zziplib

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

Once again our autobuilders have helped us fix a huge amount of build
issues. Thanks to all the people reviewing failures and fixing issues:

    git show --quiet $i | grep -q http://autobuild && \
    git show --quiet --format="%an" $i ; done | sort | uniq -c | \

The next release will be 2019.11. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of November and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2019.11 is out. If you need longer support then consider using our
long term support release (2019.02.x) instead which will be supported
until March 2020.

The next developers meeting will take place in Lyon, France on October
25-27th, right before the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. Thanks to
Smile for sponsoring the meeting location!
