+Moving to the Yocto Project 3.2 Release
+=======================================
+
+This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
+Project 3.2 Release from the prior release.
+
+.. _migration-3.2-minimum-system-requirements:
+
+Minimum system requirements
+---------------------------
+
+``gcc`` version 6.0 is now required at minimum on the build host. For older
+host distributions where this is not available, you can use the
+``buildtools-extended-tarball`` (easily installable using
+``scripts/install-buildtools``).
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-removed-recipes:
+
+Removed recipes
+---------------
+
+The following recipes have been removed:
+
+- ``bjam-native``: replaced by ``boost-build-native``
+- ``avahi-ui``: folded into the main ``avahi`` recipe - the GTK UI can be disabled using :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` for ``avahi``.
+- ``build-compare``: no longer needed with the removal of the ``packagefeed-stability`` class
+- ``dhcp``: obsolete, functionally replaced by ``dhcpcd`` and ``kea``
+- ``libmodulemd-v1``: replaced by ``libmodulemd``
+- ``packagegroup-core-device-devel``: obsolete
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-removed-classes:
+
+Removed classes
+---------------
+
+The following classes (.bbclass files) have been removed:
+
+-  ``spdx``: obsolete - the Yocto Project is a strong supporter of SPDX, but this class was old code using a dated approach and had the potential to be misleading. The ``meta-sdpxscanner`` layer is a much more modern and active approach to handling this and is recommended as a replacement.
+
+- ``packagefeed-stability``: this class had become obsolete with the advent of hash equivalence and reproducible builds.
+
+
+pseudo path filtering and mismatch behaviour
+--------------------------------------------
+
+pseudo now operates on a filtered subset of files. This is a significant change
+to the way pseudo operates within OpenEmbedded - by default, pseudo monitors and
+logs (adds to its database) any file created or modified whilst in a ``fakeroot``
+environment. However, there are large numbers of files that we simply don't care
+about the permissions of whilst in that ``fakeroot`` context, for example ${:term:`S`}, ${:term:`B`}, ${:term:`T`},
+${:term:`SSTATE_DIR`}, the central sstate control directories, and others.
+
+As of this release, new functionality in pseudo is enabled to ignore these
+directory trees (controlled using a new :term:`PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS` variable)
+resulting in a cleaner database with less chance of "stray" mismatches if files
+are modified outside pseudo context. It also should reduce some overhead from
+pseudo as the interprocess round trip to the server is avoided.
+
+There is a possible complication where some existing recipe may break, for
+example, a recipe was found to be writing to ``${B}/install`` for
+``make install`` in ``do_install`` and since ``${B}`` is listed as not to be tracked,
+there were errors trying to ``chown root`` for files in this location. Another
+example was the ``tcl`` recipe where the source directory ``S`` is set to a
+subdirectory of the source tree but files were written out to the directory
+structure above that subdirectory. For these types of cases in your own recipes,
+extend ``PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS`` to cover additional paths that pseudo should not
+be monitoring.
+
+In addition, pseudo's behaviour on mismatches has now been changed - rather
+than doing what turns out to be a rather dangerous "fixup" if it sees a file
+with a different path but the same inode as another file it has previously seen,
+pseudo will throw an ``abort()`` and direct you to a :yocto_wiki:`wiki page </wiki/Pseudo_Abort>`
+that explains how to deal with this.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-multilib-mlprefix:
+
+``MLPREFIX`` now required for multilib when runtime dependencies conditionally added
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to solve some previously intractable problems with runtime
+dependencies and multilib, a change was made that now requires the :term:`MLPREFIX`
+value to be explicitly prepended to package names being added as
+dependencies (e.g. in :term:`RDEPENDS` and :term:`RRECOMMENDS` values)
+where the dependency is conditionally added.
+
+If you have anonymous python or in-line python conditionally adding
+dependencies in your custom recipes, and you intend for those recipes to
+work with multilib, then you will need to ensure that ``${MLPREFIX}``
+is prefixed on the package names in the dependencies, for example
+(from the ``glibc`` recipe): ::
+
+    RRECOMMENDS_${PN} = "${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'ldconfig', '${MLPREFIX}ldconfig', '', d)}"
+
+This also applies when conditionally adding packages to :term:`PACKAGES` where
+those packages have dependencies, for example (from the ``alsa-plugins`` recipe): ::
+
+    PACKAGES += "${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'pulseaudio', 'alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-conf', '', d)}"
+    ...
+    RDEPENDS_${PN}-pulseaudio-conf += "\
+            ${MLPREFIX}libasound-module-conf-pulse \
+            ${MLPREFIX}libasound-module-ctl-pulse \
+            ${MLPREFIX}libasound-module-pcm-pulse \
+    "
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-packagegroup-core-device-devel:
+
+packagegroup-core-device-devel no longer included in images built for qemu* machines
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+``packagegroup-core-device-devel`` was previously added automatically to
+images built for ``qemu*`` machines, however the purpose of the group and what
+it should contain is no longer clear, and in general, adding userspace
+development items to images is best done at the image/class level; thus this
+packagegroup was removed.
+
+This packagegroup previously pulled in the following:
+
+- ``distcc-config``
+- ``nfs-export-root``
+- ``bash``
+- ``binutils-symlinks``
+
+If you still need any of these in your image built for a ``qemu*`` machine
+then you will add them explicitly to :term:`IMAGE_INSTALL` or another
+appropriate place in the dependency chain for your image (if you have not
+already done so).
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-dhcp:
+
+DHCP server/client replaced
+---------------------------
+
+The ``dhcp`` software package has become unmaintained and thus has been
+functionally replaced by ``dhcpcd`` (client) and ``kea`` (server). You will
+need to replace references to the recipe/package names as appropriate - most
+commonly, at the package level ``dhcp-client`` should be replaced by
+``dhcpcd`` and ``dhcp-server`` should be replaced by ``kea``. If you have any
+custom configuration files for these they will need to be adapted - refer to
+the upstream documentation for ``dhcpcd`` and ``kea`` for further details.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-packaging-changes:
+
+Packaging changes
+-----------------
+
+- ``python3``: the ``urllib`` python package has now moved into the core package, as it is used more commonly than just netclient (e.g. email, xml, mimetypes, pydoc). In addition, the ``pathlib`` module is now also part of the core package.
+
+- ``iptables``: ``iptables-apply`` and ``ip6tables-apply`` have been split out to their own package to avoid a bash dependency in the main ``iptables`` package
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-package-qa-checks:
+
+Package QA check changes
+------------------------
+
+Previously, the following package QA checks triggered warnings, however they can
+be indicators of genuine underlying problems and are therefore now treated as
+errors:
+
+- :ref:`already-stripped <qa-check-already-stripped>`
+- :ref:`compile-host-path <qa-check-compile-host-path>`
+- :ref:`installed-vs-shipped <qa-check-installed-vs-shipped>`
+- :ref:`ldflags <qa-check-ldflags>`
+- :ref:`pn-overrides <qa-check-pn-overrides>`
+- :ref:`rpaths <qa-check-rpaths>`
+- :ref:`staticdev <qa-check-staticdev>`
+- :ref:`unknown-configure-option <qa-check-unknown-configure-option>`
+- :ref:`useless-rpaths <qa-check-useless-rpaths>`
+
+In addition, the following new checks were added and default to triggering an error:
+
+- :ref:`shebang-size <qa-check-shebang-size>`: Check for shebang (#!) lines longer than 128 characters, which can give an error at runtime depending on the operating system.
+
+- :ref:`unhandled-features-check <qa-check-unhandled-features-check>`: Check if any of the variables supported by the :ref:`features_check <ref-classes-features_check>` class is set while not inheriting the class itself.
+
+- :ref:`missing-update-alternatives <qa-check-missing-update-alternatives>`: Check if the recipe sets the :term:`ALTERNATIVE` variable for any of its packages, and does not inherit the :ref:`update-alternatives <ref-classes-update-alternatives>` class.
+
+- A trailing slash or duplicated slashes in the value of :term:`S` or :term:`B` will now trigger a warning so that they can be removed and path comparisons can be more reliable - remove any instances of these in your recipes if the warning is displayed.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-src-uri-file-globbing:
+
+Globbing no longer supported in ``file://`` entries in ``SRC_URI``
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Globbing (``*`` and ``?`` wildcards) in ``file://`` URLs within :term:`SRC_URI`
+did not properly support file checksums, thus changes to the source files
+would not always change the do_fetch task checksum, and consequently would
+not ensure that the changed files would be incorporated in subsequent builds.
+
+Unfortunately it is not practical to make globbing work generically here, so
+the decision was taken to remove support for globs in ``file://`` URLs.
+If you have any usage of these in your recipes, then you will now need to
+either add each of the files that you expect to match explicitly, or
+alternatively if you still need files to be pulled in dynamically, put the
+files into a subdirectory and reference that instead.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-deploydir-clean:
+
+deploy class now cleans ``DEPLOYDIR`` before ``do_deploy``
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+``do_deploy`` as implemented in the :ref:`deploy <ref-classes-deploy>` class now cleans up ${:term:`DEPLOYDIR`} before running, just as ``do_install`` cleans up ${:term:`D`} before running. This reduces the risk of ``DEPLOYDIR`` being accidentally contaminated by files from previous runs, possibly even with different config, in case of incremental builds.
+
+Most recipes and classes that inherit the ``deploy`` class or interact with ``do_deploy`` are unlikely to be affected by this unless they add ``prefuncs`` to ``do_deploy`` *which also* put files into ``${DEPLOYDIR}`` - these should be refactored to use ``do_deploy_prepend`` instead.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy:
+
+Custom SDK / SDK-style recipes need to include ``nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy``
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+All ``nativesdk`` packages require ``/bin/sh`` due to their postinstall scriptlets, thus this package has to be dummy-provided within the SDK and ``nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy`` now does this. If you have a custom SDK recipe (or your own SDK-style recipe similar to e.g. ``buildtools-tarball``), you will need to ensure ``nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy`` or an equivalent is included in :term:`TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK`.
+
+
+``ld.so.conf`` now moved back to main ``glibc`` package
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+There are cases where one doesn't want ``ldconfig`` on target (e.g. for
+read-only root filesystems, it's rather pointless), yet one still
+needs ``/etc/ld.so.conf`` to be present at image build time:
+
+When some recipe installs libraries to a non-standard location, and
+therefore installs in a file in ``/etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo.conf``, we
+need ``/etc/ld.so.conf`` containing: ::
+
+  include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
+
+in order to get those other locations picked up.
+
+Thus ``/etc/ld.so.conf`` is now in the main ``glibc`` package so that
+there's always an ``ld.so.conf`` present when the build-time ``ldconfig``
+runs towards the end of image construction.
+
+The ``ld.so.conf`` and ``ld.so.conf.d/*.conf`` files do not take up
+significant space (at least not compared to the ~700kB ``ldconfig`` binary), and they
+might be needed in case ``ldconfig`` is installable, so they are left
+in place after the image is built. Technically it would be possible to
+remove them if desired, though it would not be trivial if you still
+wanted the build-time ldconfig to function (:term:`ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND`
+will not work as ``ldconfig`` is run after the functions referred to
+by that variable).
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-virgl:
+
+Host DRI drivers now used for GL support within ``runqemu``
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+``runqemu`` now uses the mesa-native libraries everywhere virgl is used
+(i.e. when ``gl``, ``gl-es`` or ``egl-headless`` options are specified),
+but instructs them to load DRI drivers from the host. Unfortunately this
+may not work well with proprietary graphics drivers such as those from
+Nvidia; if you are using such drivers then you may need to switch to an
+alternative (such as Nouveau in the case of Nvidia hardware) or avoid
+using the GL options.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-initramfs-suffix:
+
+initramfs images now use a blank suffix
+---------------------------------------
+
+The reference initramfs images (``core-image-minimal-initramfs``,
+``core-image-tiny-initramfs`` and ``core-image-testmaster-initramfs``) now
+set an empty string for :term:`IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX`, which otherwise defaults
+to ``".rootfs"``. These images aren't root filesystems and thus the rootfs
+label didn't make sense. If you are looking for the output files generated
+by these image recipes directly then you will need to adapt to the new
+naming without the ``.rootfs`` part.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-image-artifact-names:
+
+Image artifact name variables now centralised in image-artifact-names class
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The defaults for the following image artifact name variables have been moved
+from bitbake.conf to a new ``image-artifact-names`` class:
+
+- :term:`IMAGE_BASENAME`
+- :term:`IMAGE_LINK_NAME`
+- :term:`IMAGE_NAME`
+- :term:`IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX`
+- :term:`IMAGE_VERSION_SUFFIX`
+
+Image-related classes now inherit this class, and typically these variables
+are only referenced within image recipes so those will be unaffected by this
+change. However if you have references to these variables in either a recipe
+that is not an image or a class that is enabled globally, then those will
+now need to be changed to ``inherit image-artifact-names``.
+
+
+.. _migration-3.2-misc:
+
+Miscellaneous changes
+---------------------
+
+- Support for the long-deprecated ``PACKAGE_GROUP`` variable has now been removed - replace any remaining instances with :term:`FEATURE_PACKAGES`.
+- The ``FILESPATHPKG`` variable, having been previously deprecated, has now been removed. Replace any remaining references with appropriate use of :term:`FILESEXTRAPATHS`.
+- Erroneous use of ``inherit +=`` (instead of ``INHERIT +=``) in a configuration file now triggers an error instead of silently being ignored.
+- ptest support has been removed from the ``kbd`` recipe, as upstream has moved to autotest which is difficult to work with in a cross-compilation environment.
+- ``oe.utils.is_machine_specific()`` and ``oe.utils.machine_paths()`` have been removed as their utility was questionable. In the unlikely event that you have references to these in your own code, then the code will need to be reworked.
+- The ``i2ctransfer`` module is now disabled by default when building ``busybox`` in order to be consistent with disabling the other i2c tools there. If you do wish the i2ctransfer module to be built in busybox then add ``CONFIG_I2CTRANSFER=y`` to your custom busybox configuration.
+- In the ``Upstream-Status`` header convention for patches, ``Accepted`` has been replaced with ``Backport`` as these almost always mean the same thing i.e. the patch is already upstream and may need to be removed in a future recipe upgrade. If you are adding these headers to your own patches then use ``Backport`` to indicate that the patch has been sent upstream.
+- The ``tune-supersparc.inc`` tune file has been removed as it does not appear to be widely used and no longer works.
