0.5.5:

This patch release contains a couple of important fixed to program logic,

and a few minor improvements in slibtool's own build system.

- link mode: support over-linking for an .la wrapper linker input argument.

- execute mode: properly handle the current working directory.

- build system: added support for [C|LD]FLAGS_LAST and [C|LD]FLAGS_ONCE.

- build system: avoid side effects on the build system due to git-status.

0.5.4:

This patch release includes a few fixes to the program logic and output,

as well as several improvements in slibtool's own build system.

- link mode: always create the .libs directory.

- output: flush stdout upon return from output functions.

- build system: remove generic dependency of object files on version.tag.

- build system: moved core definition files to a designated folder.

- build system: PE targets: handle subsystem setting in pe.mk.

- build system: added --avoid-version support.

0.5.3:

This patch release includes a few minor fixes and several improvements, all

related to slibtool's own build system.

- build system: app.tag: avoid unconditional step execution.

- build system: configure: added --strict, --ccstrict, --ldstrict support.

- build system: Makefile: added the .conf convenience target.

- build system: Makefile: added the .display_cc convenience target.

- build system: Makefile: added the -display_cflags convenience target.

- build system: Makefile: added custom header installation support.

0.5.2:

This patch release includes several fixes of bugs that were discovered while

testing slibtool as the primary libtool in a pkgsrc comprehensive build. In

addition, the release includes several improvements to slibtool's own build

system.

- link mode: legabits: generate a perfectly compatible wrapper.

- install mode: legabits: install a perfectly compatible wrapper.

- project: by default, slibtool is now an application-only package.

- build system: added support of --disable-shared and --disable-static.

- build system: added support of --all-shared and --all-static.

- build system: properly handle user inclusion of -static in LDFLAGS.

0.5.1:

This patch release includes several small fixes, as well as the addition of

an optional (opt-in at runtime) yet important compatibility feature, namely

the installation of .la wrappers. Changes in this release include:

- driver: added --legabits support.

- install mode: optional installation of .la wrappers.

- project: added compatibility symlinks (clibtool, clibtool-[shared|static])

- build system: removed the endian.h test.

- build system: proper use of any-os.mk.

0.5.0:

This is the first tagged release of slibtool. It is the result of two months of

intensive development, and follows rigorous testing on several systems. As of

this initial release, slibtool is known to successfully build an entire Exherbo

Linux system from source, build the midipix cross compilation toolchain from

source, and likewise build many other packages.

Support for the ELF/default host flavor is complete, and does not appear to have

any errors. Support for the PE/midipix flavor is also complete, and includes not

only static archives and shared libraries, but also import libraries with

version support. Support for the Darwin host flavor already exists too, yet it

is currently semantically incorrect, and so will be fixed in the next release.
