[Buildroot] 2017.08-rc1 approaching

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

We're now August 1st, so it's about time to cut 2017.08-rc1.

I've updated the CHANGES file already, and it would be nice if people
could review it, and see if there is any missing information or mistake.

I'm still planning on merging, either today or tomorrow, the skeleton
patch series from Yann, which Arnout is adjusting, as he had made a
number of comments on it. And once this is done, cut -rc1 hopefully
tomorrow evening.

If there is anything that you believe is really important to have in
2017.08 and that is already pending in patchwork, let me know. After
we cut 2017.08-rc1, new features will continue to be merged in the
"next" branch and will be part of the 2017.11 release, and only bug
fixes will be accepted for 2017.08.

Best regards,

Thomas
