This means that you can compose your + version number or any other argument that Libtoolize needs to know at + M4 time using git-version-gen from gnulib, for example. + + - Invoking 'libtoolize --ltdl' no longer maintains a separate autoconf + macro directory in the libltdl tree, but automatically adjusts the + installed libltdl configuration files to share whatever macro + directory is declared by the parent project. (Note: if you were + already sharing a macro directory with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(ltdl/m4) + or similar, that still works as does any other directory choice). + + - Invoking 'libtoolize --ltdl' no longer maintains a separate auxiliary + scripts directory in the libltdl tree, but automatically adjusts the + installed libltdl configuration files to share whatever auxiliary + scripts directory is declared by the parent project. (Note: if you + were already sharing an auxiliary directory with subproject libltdl + using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(ltdl/config) or similar, that still works as + does any other directory choice). + + - The legacy tests have all been migrated to the Autotest harness. + + - The Autotest testsuite can be run without the especially time consuming + tests with: + + make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k "!expensive"' + +** Bug fixes: + + - Fix a long-standing latent bug in autom4te include path for autotests + with VPATH builds. + - Fix a long-standing latent bug in libtoolize that could delete lines + from libltdl/Makefile.am in recursive mode due to underquoting in a + sed script. + - Fix a long-standing bug in libtoolize, by outputting the 'putting + auxiliary files in' header with 'libtoolize --ltdl --subproject'. + - Fix a long-standing bug in libtoolize subproject installation, by not + installing a set of autoconf macro files into the parent project if + there is no configure.ac present to use them. + - The libtoolize subproject mode selector is now named '--subproject' + and is equivalent to the implied '--subproject' mode when no other + mode is selected; '--standalone' never worked, and is no longer + accepted. + - Libtool and libtoolize no longer choke on paths with a comma in them. + - In the case where $SHELL does not have the same enhanced features + (e.g. the ability to parse 'var+=append') as $CONFIG_SHELL, libtool + will now correctly fallback to using only vanilla shell features + instead of failing with a parse at startup. + - Correctly recognize import libraries when Microsoft dumpbin is used + as the name lister and extend the dumpbin wrapper to find symbols + in import libraries using the -headers option of dumpbin. Also fix a + bug in the dumpbin wrapper that could lead to broken symbol listings + in some corner cases. + - Use the improved Microsoft dumpbin support to mend preloading of + import libraries for Microsoft Visual C/C++. + - No longer mangle module-definition (.def) files when feeding them to + the Microsoft Visual C/C++ linker via the -export-symbols argument to + the libtool script, thus matching how .def files are handled when + using GNU tools. + - Recognize more variants (e.g. those starting with a LIBRARY statement) + of module-definitions (.def) files when using them instead of a raw + list of symbols to export. + - Fix a long-standing bug when using libtoolize without automake; we + no longer remove install-sh with --force, since it's not a file + libtoolize will reinstall without --install.. + +** Important incompatible changes: + + - GNU M4 is required to run libtoolize in a directory with a + 'configure.ac' (or 'configure.in') that needs tracing to determine + what modes and directories have been specified. + + - The use of the idiosyncratically named 'Makefile.inc' in nonrecursive + libltdl builds is deprecated, although it will be supported for one + more year or until the next release, whichever takes longer. Please + upgrade to the more standard naming of 'ltdl.mk' in keeping with other + GNU projects. + + - libtoolize now behaves consistenty in respect of multiple directory + arguments to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS and multiple invocations of AC_CONFIG- + _MACRO_DIRS, where the first directory is always selected. Previous + releases took the first ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS argument, but the last + invocation of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS. + + - The libtoolize program now advises use of the new Autoconf + AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS declaration. If you follow that advice, all + your developers will need at least autoconf-2.70 and automake-1.13 + to rebootstrap your probject. If you still need to support + bootstrap with older Autotools, then you should add the following + to your configure.ac file: + + m4_ifndef([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS], + [m4_define([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS], + m4_defn([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR]))]) + + - Overhead of probing for a non-backslash crippled echo equivalent + during initialization of every script has been removed in favor of + trusting that "printf %s\n" works out of the box on all non-museum + host architectures. Manually setting ECHO appropriately in the + build environment will be necessary on some ancient architectures. + +** Changes in supported systems or compilers: + + - Support for bitrig (*-*-bitrig*). + + - Solaris 7 and earlier requires ECHO=/usr/ucb/echo in the build + environment, to build and use libtool. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 9 03:55:16 UTC 2014 - coolo@suse.com
