Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

   GCC 9.x updated to 9.2.0, Glibc updated to 2.30, Musl updated to
   1.1.24, uClibc-ng updated to 1.0.32, ARC toolchain updated to
   arc-2019.09-eng002.

   Musl: Add a patch to add support for sched_{get,set}scheduler() and
   sched_{get,set}param() for compatibility.

   Computer "La Frite", QEMU Armv7-A with trustzone/OP-TEE, STM32MP157

 - Br2-external: Linux kernel extensions can now also be provided in an
   external tree by adding packages under linux/linux-ext-*.mk. See the
   manual for details.

 - Fakeroot now works correctly under Microsoft Windows 10 Services for
   Linux, which does not provide SYSV IPC support
