http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2023.02.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2023.02.tar.xz

Or get it from Git:

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

Again a quite active development cycle with almost 1700 changes and contributions from 108 unique contributors!

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

Toolchain:

- The check for access to "unsafe" (E.G. from the build host) header files and libraries by the cross compiler is now unconditionally enabled.

- Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2022.08

- The handling of the CCACHE_* environment variables by the toolchain wrapper is now more strict, causing the variables to only be exported when BR2_CCACHE is enabled.

Infrastructure:

- Br2-external: Fix make performance issue when many (> 6) external trees are used together.

- Legal-info: Stop warning about not saving sources for local / override packages if <PKG>_REDISTRIBUTE is set to NO.

- Go: Ensure our go build and module cache is used, even for the download step.

- Cargo: CARGO_HOME (the location where cargo stores its downloaded artifacts) is now located under DL_DIR rather than in HOST_DIR/share/cargo, ensuring it is shared between builds.

Misc:

- Erofs: Use fixed timestamp and UUID when BR2_REPRODUCIBLE is used.

- Ext2: Year 2038+ compatible inodes are now used by default, independently of the filesystem size.

- A large number of NXP related packages and defconfigs have been updated as upstream moved the git repositories to Github.

- New defconfigs: i.MX8mn BSH SMM S2 / pro, QEMU ARM EBBR, Sipeed Lichee rv / rv dock, Starfive Visionfive2, Xilinx Versal VCK190.

Upgrading from 2022.02.x:

In addition to these changes, for people upgrading from 2022.02.x the most noteworthy changes since that release can be seen in the announcements for 2022.05, 2022.08 and 2022.11:

2022.05: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2022-June/644349.html
2022.08: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2022-September/650852.html
2022.11: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2022-December/656980.html

Future:

This release will be become our new long term support releases, which means it will be supported with security and other important fixes until 2024.02 is out. The previous 2022.02.x LTS release will see atleast one more update before it becomes EOL in April, so start migration to 2023.02 soon.

The next release will be 2023.05. Expect the first release candidate in early May and the final release at the end of the month.

Bye, Peter Korsgaard
