# Changelog
## v1.7.2
* Bux fixes
* Add TAR option `--no-same-owner` to fix errors when untarring artifacts as
the root user.
* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v1.7.2](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v1.7.2)
## v1.7.1
* Improvements
* Bump C compiler options to `-O2` from `-Os`. This provides a small, but
measurable performance improvement (500ms at boot in a trivial project
tested on [nerves_system_rpi0](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_rpi0)).
* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v1.7.1](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v1.7.1)
## v1.7.0
This release bumps the Linux kernel to 4.19.25. This change had an impact on how
the WiFi regulatory database gets loaded into the kernel. Instead of building it
into the kernel as previously done, the kernel loads it on demand. This requires
that all WiFi drivers be built as kernel modules so that the database isn't
loaded before the root filesystem is mounted. If you made a custom system and
see boot errors about not being able to load the regulatory database, this is
the problem.
* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v1.7.0](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v1.7.0)
* Linux 4.19.25 with patches from the Raspberry Pi Foundation

* OpenSSL 1.1.1a
* Linux 4.14.89 with patches from the Raspberry Pi Foundation
* Enhancements
* Moved boardid config from inside erlinit.config to /etc/boardid.config
* Compile gpiomem into the Linux kernel
* Enable pstore, an in-memory buffer that can capture logs, kernel
oops and other information when unexpected reboots. The buffer can be
recovered on the next boot where it can be inspected.
## v1.6.0
This pulls in a pending patch in Buildroot to update the version of
OpenSSL from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0h. This fixes what appears to be issues with
Erlang using OpenSSL engines. It also enables Erlang crypto algorithms
such as ed25519 that have been added in recent Erlang releases.
* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v1.6.1](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v1.6.1)

* Enhancements
* Added Alsa utils `aplay` and `amixer` for audio support.
* Added `espeak` a speech synthesizer for text to audio.
* Automatically reboot if the Linux kernel panics (defaults to a 10 second
delay before the reboot)
* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v1.5.2](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v1.5.2)
* Linux 4.14.71 with patches from the Raspberry Pi Foundation
* Erlang 21.0.9
## v1.4.0
This release contains various updates to provisioning variables and data.
**Host requirements**
Building firmware using this system requires `fwup` to be updated on your
host computer to at least `v1.2.5`. The target minimum version requirement
has not changed from `0.15.0`.
**Serial numbers**
Device serial numbers are now set using `NERVES_SERIAL_NUMBER` instead of
`SERIAL_NUMBER`. This is to reduce ambiguity on the source of the serial
by name spacing it along side other Nerves variables. The U-Boot environment
key has also changed from `serial_number` to `nerves_serial_number`. The
erlinit.config has been updated to provide backwards compatibility for setting
the hostname from the serial number by checking for `nerves_serial_number`
and falling back to `serial_number`.
**Custom provisioning**
Provisioning data is applied at the time of calling the `fwup` task `complete`.
The `complete` task is executed when writing the firmware to the target disk.
During this time, `fwup` will include the contents of a provisioning file
located at `${NERVES_SYSTEM}/images/fwup_include/provisioning.conf`. By default,
this file only sets `nerves_serial_number`. You can add additional provisioning
data by overriding the location of this file to include your own by setting
the environment variable `NERVES_PROVISIONING`. If you override this variable
you will be responsible for also setting `nerves_serial_number`.

* Updated dependencies
* [nerves_system_br v0.16.1-2017-11](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_br/releases/tag/v0.16.1-2017-11)
* Enhancements
* Support for Raspberry Pi 0W
This is useful if you want to run the USB port in host mode.
nerves_system_rpi0 is biased to running it in gadget mode and lacks many
of the USB host drivers and options.
* Reboot automatically if Erlang VM exits - This is consistent with other
Nerves systems. See rootfs_overlay/etc/erlinit.config if undesired.
* Start running nerves_system_linter to check for configuration errors.
* Disable console blanking for HDMI to make it easier to capture error messages.

indefinitely for the urandom pool to initialize
## v0.16.1
* Updated dependencies
* nerves_system_br v0.13.7
## v0.16.0
This release contains an updated toolchain with Linux 4.1 Headers.
You will have to clean and compile any c/c++ code in your project and
dependencies. Failure to do so will result in an error when producing firmware.
* nerves_system_br v0.13.5
* fwup 0.15.4
* Nerves toolchain v0.11.0
## v0.15.0
* nerves_system_br v0.13.3
* erlinit 1.1.4
* New features
* Firmware updates verify that they're updating the right target. If the target
doesn't say that it's an `rpi` through the firmware metadata, the update
will fail.
* Added meta-misc and meta-vcs-identifier to the `fwup.conf` metadata for use
by users and for the regression test framework
* Use String.trim instead of String.strip to silence Elixir 1.5 warnings
## v0.14.0

* New features
* The application data partition is now `ext4`. This greatly improves its
robustness to corruption. Nerves.Runtime contains code to initialize it on
first boot.
* Firmware images now contain metadata that can be queried at runtime (see
Nerves.Runtime.KV
* Increased GPU memory to support Pi Camera V2
## v0.12.0
* nerves_system_br v0.10.0
* Buildroot 2017.02
* Erlang/OTP 19.3
* New features
* Upgraded the Linux kernel from 4.4.43 -> 4.4.50. Due to the coupling
between the Linux kernel and rpi-firmware and possibly rpi-userland, if
you have a custom system based off this, you should update your Linux
kernel as well. (see `nerves_defconfig`)
## v0.11.0
* New features
* Enabled USB_SERIAL and FTDI_SIO support. Needed for connecting with Arduino to the USB ports
* Support for Nerves 0.5.0
## v0.10.0
* New features
* Upgraded the Linux kernel to 4.4.43. This also removes the
call to mkknlimg which is no longer needed.
* Bump toolchain to use gcc 5.3 (previously using gcc 4.9.3)
## v0.9.1
* Bug Fixes
* Loosen mistaken nerves dep on `0.4.0` to `~> 0.4.0`

* Package updates
* Buildroot 2016.08
* Linux 4.4
## v0.6.1
* Package versions
* Nerves.System.BR v0.6.1
* New features
* All Raspberry Pi-specific configuration is now in this repository
* Enabled SMP Erlang - even though the RPi Zero and Model B+ are
single core systems, some NIFs require SMP Erlang.
## v0.6.0
* Nerves.System.BR v0.6.0
* Package updates
* Erlang OTP 19
* Elixir 1.3.1
* fwup 0.8.0
* erlinit 0.7.3
* bborg-overlays (pull in I2C typo fix from upstream)
* Bug fixes

## v0.5.1
* Nerves.System.BR v0.5.1
* Bug Fixes(nerves-env)
* Added include paths to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
* Pass sysroot to LDFLAGS
## v0.5.0
* Nerves.System.BR v0.5.0
* New features
* WiFi drivers enabled by default on RPi2 and RPi3
* Include wireless regulatory database in Linux kernel by default
on WiFi-enabled platforms. Since kernel/rootfs are read-only and
coupled together for firmware updates, the normal CRDA/udev approach
isn't necessary.
* Upgraded the default BeagleBone Black kernel from 3.8 to 4.4.9. The
standard BBB device tree overlays are included by default even though the
upstream kernel patches no longer include them.
* Change all fwup configurations from two step upgrades to one step
upgrades. If you used the base fwup.conf files to upgrade, you no
longer need to finalize the upgrade. If not, there's no change.
