Hi,

Buildroot 2023.11 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2023.11.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2023.11.tar.xz

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot (2023.11 tag)

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

Again a quite active development cycle with close to 1300 changes all over the tree and 122 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:

Toolchain:

- Support for GDB 13.2, make GDB 12.x the default

- Glibc bumped to 2.38

- Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2023.08, bringing support for Aarch64 BE with musl.

- Motorola 68K w/MMU support added for glibc and musl.

- License info added for GCC

Infrastructure:

- The CMake infrastructure now supports building packages with ninja instead of make (based on <pkg>_CMAKE_BACKEND).

- The RPATH fixup done at the end of the build is now done in parallel (according to BR2_JLEVEL).

- Packages downloaded from Subversion repos no longer retrieves svn:externals unless <pkg>_SVN_EXTERNALS is set to YES.

- Packages where a free-form version/site can be specified (E.G. Linux, U-Boot, ..) can now have the corresponding tarballs of these custom downloads checked by the download infrastructure based on .hash files in the global patch directory. These hashes are optional unless BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES is enabled.

A utils/add-custom-hashes helper script has been added to assist in managing such hash files.

- Various improvements to utils/docker-run to handle external (BR2_DL_DIR defined in environment) download directory, proxy configuration, SELinux and out of tree (O=) builds.

- New defconfigs: AMD Zynq ZC702, ASUS Tinker-s rk3288, ICnova A20-adb4006, Khadas vim3, Libre Computer ROC-RK3399-PC, Microchip PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit, NXP imxrt1050-evk, Pine64 pinecube, Sipeed LicheePi Nano, Synopsys ARC700 nSIM, TI SK-AM62 and TI SK-AM64

The next release will be 2024.02, which will become the next long term support release. Expect the first release candidate at the beginning of February and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes until 2024.02 is out.
