Description Belen Barros Pena 2015-08-12 16:41:15 UTC 
It turns out we never meant to provide release forward compatibility in Toaster, but by mistake we shipped fido with support for master. 

Toaster is supposed to work with the release you checked out, and one release before that, but never with anything ahead. 

So, Toaster in 1.8 fido should allow you to build with:

1. 1.8 fido
2. 1.7 dizzy
3. the special local release

but not with master. This means that, when you create a project, the 'Yocto Project master' option needs to go away from the 'Release' drop down menu. 

The options available in that drop down are controlled by the releases set in toasterconf.json, so I guess it should be a case of removing the master release from 

meta/conf/toasterconf.json and
meta-yocto/conf/toasterconf.json

Then send a patch for fido upstream.

This issue is reproducible on fido branch with poky commit: bdba0dd12dcca168e4721088414b47e411b0ef16.
It seems that the master release was removed from the openembedded-core conf file but not from  meta-yocto conf file.
