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

This time around, 1089 commits from 110 different contributors since 2022.05, with a spike of activity during the recent Buildroot hackathon organized end of July.

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

Architecture

- Support for NDS32 removed
- Support for C-SKY removed
- Support for configurable page size on ARM64 added
- Architecture menu re-organized: the MMU selection now appears in this architecture menu.

Toolchain:

- GCC 12.x support added, GCC 11.x is now the default compiler, and support for building a GCC 9.x toolchain has been removed.
- glibc bumped to 2.35-134-gb6aade18a7e5719c942aa2da6cf3157aca993fa4
- uclibc bumped to 1.0.42
- BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO option removed, the toolchain is now always built with LTO support. The new option BR2_ENABLE_LTO enables the use of LTO in a subset of packages that have explicit handling for LTO.
- GDB enabled on OpenRISC.
- Toolchain menu now appears before "Build options". The selection of the C library now determines whether static library (BR2_STATIC_LIBS) will be available or not, instead of the other way around.

Filesystem:

- genimage.cfg files now use shortcuts from genimage for the GUID of well-known GPT partitions.

Bootloaders:

- U-Boot can now be built with host-gnutls as a dependency, needed for some configurations
- OP-TEE can now be built with host-python-pillow as a dependency, needed for some configurations.
- OP-TEE source can now be retrieved from a custom tarball URL.
- Grub has been bumped to 2.06.
