The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool 1.5.22. GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.
This release fixes quite a number of bugs, one of them a minor local security issue. New in 1.5.22: 2005-12-18 * Fix 1.5 regression that caused linking a program `-static' to also link statically against installed libtool libraries, contrary to documented (and actual 1.4.x) behavior. * Fix file ownership for BSD `ranlib'. * Initial support for Beos/C++. * Fixed detection of link_static_flag, and self-dlopening. * Fixed setting of shlibpath variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH and similar) and order of link search paths for creating and testing of uninstalled libraries. * Fix silent failure of `libtoolize --ltdl' if libltdl files not present. * Fixed command line settings for non-GCC compilers, Solaris/64bit. * Support for Interix 3 (Windows SFU). * If non-pic objects were not compiled, and libtool is called in link mode, libtool no longer silently creates an empty archive, but rather falls back to pic objects. * Fix potential denial of service by malicious other users for tmpdir directory creation at relink time. * Bug Fixes, among others for AIX, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, HPUX, MinGW, OpenBSD, UnixWare. libtool-1.5.22 is available now from ftp.gnu.org, along with diffs and xdeltas against libtool-1.5.20 that are also available from ftp.gnu.org.

Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when you are prompted for the password): $ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ cvs -z3 -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libtool \ co -r release-1-5-22 libtool You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake (1.9.6) and Autoconf (2.59) installed to bootstrap the checked out sources yourself. Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>, along with the verbose output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool --config.' _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
