From: Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br> Subject: Libtool 1.3 released (at last! :-) Date: 29 Apr 1999 14:34:03 -0300 To: libtool@gnu.org, info-gnu@gnu.org Ladies and gentlemen, The Libtool Team is pleased to annouce the long-awaited release 1.3 of GNU libtool. It should be available in ftp.gnu.org and all GNU mirror sites, as well as via anonymous CVS, using the tag release-1-3. See the libtool home page, at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/> for details. Diffs and xdeltas from release 1.2 are available. The most important user-visible changes since release 1.2 follow (see below for changes since alpha release 1.2f) * Support for convenience archives. * New maintainers. Anonymous CVS and home page at gnu.org. * Portable dlopening interface with libltdl, new -module flag. * Correctly link installed libtool libraries into programs and other libtool libraries. Linking of uninstalled libtool libraries into libraries is under development for 1.4. * Do not drop library dependencies on platforms that allow them. * Linking with uninstalled libraries no longer picks installed ones by mistake. * Use libraries from the build tree when running uninstalled executables (may require double linking). * Allow developers to optimize for build-tree executions. * Support -export-symbols-regex for controlled symbol exporting. * Support -R to hardcode directories in library search paths. * New ports, demos and tests. Lots of improvements and bug fixes. User-visible changes since release 1.2f: * AM_PROG_LIBTOOL is smaller and faster * AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL is required in configure.in for libtool to attempt to build dlls on win32 hosts * Shared libraries on AmigaOS up to version 4 are now disabled since they don't meet libtool's requirements for shared libraries * -L supports now relative directories * Libltdl has a new license: LGPL with a special exception * Libltdl can be used as stand-alone package * dlopen support for BeOS * Partial support for Motorola System V 4 * Improved support for AIX, BeOS, Cygwin, DJGPP, DU, IRIX and HP/UX * Documentation updates * New tests * Bugfixes -- The Libtool Team -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva IC-Unicamp, Bra[sz]il {oliva,Alexandre.Oliva}@dcc.unicamp.br aoliva@{acm.org,computer.org} oliva@{gnu.org,kaffe.org,{egcs,sourceware}.cygnus.com,samba.org} *** E-mail about software projects will be forwarded to mailing lists [ Most GNU software is compressed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
