Libtoolers! The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.4.6.
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 is a bugfix release, and a recommended upgrade for all users. Most importantly, it regains most of the speed of 2.4.2 by correcting one of two known regressions that were causing noticable slow-down when building projects with many source files. Here are the compressed sources: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz (1.7MB) http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.xz (952KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 151308092983D606 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.15 Gnulib v0.1-336-g342d9f0 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.4.6 (2015-02-15) [stable] ** New features: - LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH can be set in config.site, or at configure time and persists correctly in the generated libtool script. ** Bug fixes: - Fix a race condition in ltdl dryrun test that would cause spurious random failures of that test. - LT_SYS_DLSEARCH_PATH is munged correctly. Enjoy! -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
