v1.27.1

This is a security/bug fix update for 1.27.0.

• Package updates
  • Buildroot 2024.02.1
  • Erlang/OTP 26.2.4

v1.27.0

This update pulls in Buildroot 2024.02. This is a major Buildroot update.

Nerves systems need the following updates:

1. For Raspberry Pi systems using libcamera, the version that comes with Raspberry
   Pi OS has diverged from upstream libcamera. To use it, replace
   BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_*=y with BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_LIBCAMERA_*=y.
2. The Raspberry Pi applications for libcamera also changed. Replace
   BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_APPS=y with BR2_PACKAGE_RPICAM_APPS=y. The upstream
   package is called rpicam_apps. libcamera_apps was the old name.

• Fixes

  • Add explicit check for $TMPDIR to fix a regression on MacOS 13 with
    v1.26.1. Thanks to @schrockwell.

v1.26.1

This is a security/bug fix update for 1.26.0.

• Fixes

  • Update calls to mktemp to honor $TMPDIR so that it can be redirected to a
    case sensitive filesystem on MacOS.

• Package updates

  • Erlang/OTP 26.2.2

v1.26.0

This update pulls in Buildroot 2023.11.1. This is a major Buildroot update from v1.25.3.

Nerves systems need the following updates:

1. For Raspberry Pi systems using libcamera, change BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_PIPELINE_RASPBERRYPI=y to BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_PIPELINE_RPI_VC4=y
2. If using a RISC-V processor, the ISA options changed. This involves changing BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVM=y to BR2_RISCV_ISA_RVM=y, etc.

• Fixes

  • Fix change to find on recent MacOS versions that caused the release scrubber to fail.

• Package updates

  • Buildroot 2023.11.1

v1.25.3

This is a security/bug fix update for 1.25.2.

• Package updates
  • Erlang/OTP 26.2.1
  • nerves_heart 2.3.0

v1.25.2

This is a security/bug fix update for v1.25.1 that also adds support for the
Raspberry Pi 5's WiFi and Bluetooth module.

• Changes

  • Update the RPi WiFi firmware to support the module on the RPi 5. This also
    brings in about 2 years worth of updates to the firmware so it might help
    other RPi's.
  • Add rpi-distro-bluez-firmware package to supply Bluetooth firmware for the
    RPi 5 and other RPi's.

• Package updates

  • Buildroot 2023.08.4

v1.25.1

This is a patch update to v1.25.0.

The erlinit update will start saving and restoring random number seeds to
/root/seedrng. Failures are logged, but ignored.

• Package updates
  • erlinit 1.13.0
  • pppd 2.5.0 - fixes a build issue with pppd 2.4.9 and GCC 13

v1.25.0

This update pulls in Buildroot 2023.08.2. This is a major Buildroot update from
v1.24.1 with possibly the biggest change for Nerves users being the update from
OpenSSL 1.1.1 to OpenSSL 3.

Nerves systems need the following updates:

1. Buildroot 2023.08 updated the default GCC version to GCC 13. Since Nerves
   systems and toolchains are mostly on GCC 12 which was the default, the
   nerves_defconfig will need to be updated to select GCC 12. Add
   BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_12=y to nerves_defconfig.
2. Buildroot's toolchain feature detection is better. OpenMP and Fortan support
   are autodetect and checked against toolchain features specified in
   nerves_defconfig. To fix the warnings, add
   BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_FORTRAN=y and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_OPENMP=y to
   nerves_defconfig.
3. If using a RISC-V processor, you may need to enable the atomic instructions
   in the target selection. If you get build errors with Erlang concerning
   atomics, this is likely the issue.

portion, most projects that work with nerves_system_br v1.23.x shouldn't need
any changes with this update, but please review the Buildroot release notes.
