The Libtool Team is pleased to announce alpha release 1.4b of GNU libtool. This is the first release to include the code that has been in development on the multi-language-branch for the last 18 months or so, that was recently merged into the mainline development sources. libtool-1.4b is available now from alpha.gnu.org and via anonymous CVS, using the tag release-1-4b. See http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html#AnonymousCVS for instructions on how to retrieve libtool from anonymous cvs. Diffs and xdeltas from 1.4 to 1.4b are also available from the ftp server. The most important user-visible changes since release 1.4 follow: New in 1.4b: 2001-07-09 * Now bootstraps with autoconf-2.50 and automake-1.4-p4. * Always try to build at least a static lib, even if both static and shared libs were disabled. * Full support for C++ compiler. * Support for GNU gcj compiler. * libltdl can now load all modules in a given path according to user supplied criteria with `lt_dlforeachfile' call. * Improved support for AIX ia64, djgpp, HPUX, hurd, OpenBSD, sco3.2*. * Internal mutex handling no longer has namespace clashes on NCR MP-RAS. * New pdemo and tagdemo tests. * Bug fixes. Happy libtooling! The libtool team. -- ())_. Gary V.
