+2019.02-rc1, not yet released
+
+	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
+
+
+	Dependencies:
+
+	Require Python >= 2.7 as it is needed for E.G. building
+	libglib2.
+
+	Ensure GNU gzip is used for reproducible tarballs (instead of
+	pigz)
+
+
+	Infrastucture:
+
+	Ensure the PLATFORM and OS environment variables are not set,
+	as they cause build issues for some packages.
+
+	The package list infrastructure now correctly handles packages
+	installing files with old mtime.
+
+	Add a config option to force all optional host utilities to be
+	built, even if suitable versions are available on the build
+	machine.
+
+	graph-build-time: Also show time spent downloading
+
+	Download: fixes for SSH/SCP support
+
+	Ensure user provided permissions override permissions from
+	packages.
+
+	SDK: Fix handling of relative symlinks (targets starting with
+	'.' or '..')
+
+	BR2_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_PATH setting to customize the default path
+	for processes.
+
+	The custom skeleton logic will now populate the needed /bin,
+	/lib, /sbin directories/symlinks if not present. Merged /usr
+	can now be used with a custom skeleton.
+
+	Rootfs overlays can now override symbolic links from
+	packages. This was disabled to ensure the correct symbolic
+	links are present when merged /usr is used. Instead validate
+	that the rootfs overlays do not include invalid /bin, /sbin
+	and /lib entries.
+
+	The waf infrastructure now support the <pkg>_SUBDIR variable,
+	similar to the other package types.
+
+	cmake: Also set CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION in toolchainfile.cmake
+
+	Various improvements to the meson infrastructure.
+
+	Luarocks: A Buildroot addon has been added to automate
+	creating a Buildroot package from luarocks, similar to
+	scancpan and scanpypi.
+
+	check-package: fix Python 3 support
+
+	get-developers: Fix behaviour when called from elsewhere than
+	the toplevel directory.
+
+	pkg-stats: Show latest upstream version of each package, based
+	on data from release-monitoring.org
+
+	kconfig: Fix for make linux-menuconfig / uboot-menuconfig from
+	a clean tree when ccache is enabled.
+
+	Default to sha256 password encoding, drop md5 support.
+
+
+	Architecture:
+
+	Support for RISC-V 32bit architecture, ARM A55, 75 and Saphira
+	variants, MIPS support for mips32r3, mips64r3 and Marvell
+	Octeon II/III variants.
+
+
+	Toolchain:
+
+	ARC toolchain 2018.09, ARM 8.2-2018.11, Codescape IMG/MTI MIPS
+	2018.09-02, MUSL 1.1.21, GCC 6.5.0 / 7.4.0, GDB 8.2.1

+
+	libcurl: Now has explicit TLS backend selection options.
+
+	linux: Support building device tree blobs with the -@ option
+	for device tree overlays.
+
+	weston: The weston-imx i.MX variant is now used when
+	imx-gpu-viv is enabled
+
+	pkgconf: Update to 1.5.3, which brings support for
+	--define-prefix (used by GStreamer)
+
+	Add host-python3-setuptools package to handle host python
