NEWS - list of user-visible changes between releases of GNU libtool.
|
||
|
||
New in 0.9f:
|
||
* Bug fixes.
|
||
* Automake support for Libtool now uses the LTLIBRARIES primary. See
|
||
the Automake documentation for more information.
|
||
* Added new `--disable-static' flag to disable building static
|
||
libraries on platforms that have shared libs.
|
||
* New `-allow-undefined' link flag to build shared libs that contain
|
||
references to unresolved symbols.
|
||
* Basic support for dynamically loaded modules: new `-export-dynamic'
|
||
linking flag and corresponding `dlname' mode.
|
||
* New `--features' flag to display configured libtool attributes.
|
||
* Support *-*-linux-gnu* as an alias for *-*-linux*.
|
||
* Support for *-*-openbsd* and *-*-freebsd3*.
|
||
|
||
New in 0.9:
|
||
* Bug fixes.
|
||
* The libtool demo now uses the libm cos(3) function, to demonstrate
|
||
inter-library dependencies.
|
||
* The PLATFORMS file has been moved to doc/platforms.texi.
|
||
|
||
New in 0.8:
|
||
* Bug fixes, and more documentation.
|
||
* Basic support for other language compilers (C++, Fortran, and
|
||
preprocessed assembler).
|
||
* Libtool is now more persistent when linking with the `-static'
|
||
flag fails.
|
||
* New test for hardcoding system linkers, to verify that libtool
|
||
neither creates incorrect binaries, nor takes unnecessary
|
||
precautions while linking against uninstalled shared libraries.
|
||
* For clarity, the demo subdirectory no longer uses ansi2knr, and has
|
||
been rewritten to avoid ANSI-only constructs.
|
||
* Support for *-*-irix5, *-*-irix6*, and *-*-sco3.2v5*.
|
||
|
||
New in 0.7:
|
||
* Total rewrite of libtool, along with a new model for library building.
|
||
* Completely rewritten documentation for the new paradigm.
|
||
* Sane handling of broken system linkers, such as the ones on AIX
|
||
and HP-UX.
|
||
* configure mode is now a separate program, `ltconfig'
|
||
* The libinfo helper script has been incorporated into the main
|
||
libtool program.
|
||
* Automatic mode guessing, based on the command line.
|
||
* Full support for Automake 1.2 (including ansi2knr features).
|
||
* Support to create reloadable objects using link mode.
|
||
* Support for new `-static' linking flag.
|
||
* Support for stripping libraries during installation.
|
||
* Library version information is now passed on the command line, not
|
||
through a version file.
|
||
|
||
Version 0.6 was never released.
|
||
|
||
New in 0.5:
|
||
* Disabled install-progs until next version, when it will be correctly
|
||
implemented.
|
||
* Clearer library versioning documentation. See (libtool)Versioning.
|
||
* Renamed gm_PROG_LIBTOOL to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
|
||
* Libtool now creates pseudo-objects named foo.lo and pseudo-archives named
|
||
libfoo.la instead of foo.o and libfoo.a. See the documentation.
|
||
* libtool compile doesn't interfere with user CFLAGS if they don't
|
||
conflict with the current objtype. From Karl Berry.
|
||
* Created new libinfo helper script.
|
||
* libversion.in files are obsolete -- libtool uses libinfo to read the
|
||
new LIBINFO files.
|
||
* Libtool is better at finding its config file and helper scripts.
|
||
* Support for *-*-gnu*
|
||
|
||
New in 0.4:
|
||
* Bug fixes and new regression tests
|
||
* On unsupported configurations, ``libtool configure'' demotes OBJTYPES to
|
||
`standard' instead of aborting
|
||
* Added new object type, `t', for tcov(1) support
|
||
* Support for *-*-aix3*, *-*-aix4*, *-*-hpux10*, *-*-osf3*, and *-*-solaris2*
|
||
|
||
New in 0.3:
|
||
* Bug fixes and new regression tests
|
||
* Added new uninstall-libs mode
|
||
* Added a host argument to configure mode
|
||
* Fixed debugging/hyper-optimizing flags conflict (from Karl Berry)
|
||
* Support for --no-whole-archive when needed by GNU ld (from Ulrich Drepper)
|
||
* Implementation of --enable-linktype, --enable-profile, --enable-shared,
|
||
--enable-static in gm_PROG_LIBTOOL macro
|
||
* New `libtoolize' program (modeled after GNU gettext's `gettextize') to help
|
||
conversion to libtool
|
||
* New ABOUT-LIBS document for inclusion with libtool-supported packages
|
||
|
||
New in 0.2:
|
||
* Support for *-*-linux
|
||
* Better checking for GNU ld
|
||
* Reimplemented the config file so that it corresponds more closely to the
|
||
variables listed in (libtool)Porting Libtool.
|
||
* Reimplemented the shared library version scheme. See (libtool)Versioning.
|
||
* Replaced `--config-file' and `--version-file' options with `--confdir'

||
* Added new install-libs and install-progs modes
|
||
