This was another big development cycle with more than 1400 changes all
over the tree and 125 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:

 - Addition of support for gobject-introspection: both the
   gobject-introspection package itself, but also introspection
   support was enabled in a number of other packages.

 - Support for Qt 5.6 was dropped as its support was dropped
   upstream, only one version of Qt is supported at the moment:
   Qt 5.14.2.

 - Addition of support for the apparmor Linux security module, by
   adding the necessary user-space packages.

 - Addition of a qmake package infrastructure, now used by most
   Qt-related packages.

 - The Luarocks package infrastructure has been extended to
   support build host packages.

 - The package infrastructure was improved to allow each package
   to indicate the Linux kernel configuration options it needs.

 - Addition of support for generating filesystem images using the
   EROFS filesystem.

 - The logic that calculates the list of files installed by each
   package was reworked to be compatible with the top-level
   parallel build functionality.

 - Addition of a package for a pre-compiled ARM32 bare-metal
   toolchain, which can be used to build ARM32 code in ARM64
   configurations, such as firmware/bootloader code.

 - The Qemu defconfigs are now boot-tested in Qemu as part of the
   Gitlab continuous integration.

 - Toolchain: gcc 9.x bumped to 9.3.0, gcc 8.x bumped to 8.4.0,
   gdb bumped to 8.3.1.

 - New packages: apcupsd, apparmor, arm-gnu-a-toolchain, bearssl,
   belle-sip, belr, cage, chartjs, erofs-utils, exfatprogs,
   gobject-introspection, ibm-sw-tpm2, imx-seco, jbig2dec, libapparmor,

 - Removed packages: ezxml, mtdev2tuio, python-pycrypto, wiringpi

The next release will be 2020.08. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of August and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2020.08 is out. If you need longer support then consider using our
long term support release (2020.02.x) instead which will be supported
until March 2021.
