The Libtool Team is pleased to announce alpha release 1.9f of GNU Libtool. We hope that this will be the last alpha before 2.0 final is unleashed upon the world. In order to ensure that it runs on your favourite platform, please download, test, and report any bugs you uncover.
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 has fixed a number of portability bug, and some regressions against the 1.5.10 release.
This release was bootstrapped with automake-1.9.2 and an autoconf-2.59 with a backported fix from CVS for fortran compilation on darwin with recent gcc,
but is useable with newer (and some older) versions in your own projects.
Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from anonymous cvs by using the following commands:
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ cvs -z3 -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libtool \ co -r release-1-9f libtool
You will then need to have recent versions of Automake and Autoconf installed to bootstrap the checked out sources yourself.
New in 1.9f: 2004-10-23
* Calculate dllsearchpath correctly for wrapper scripts on cygwin.
* Workarounds for bash bug when calling a function whose last command is
false.
* Work properly with released Autoconf 2.59.
* Shell quoting of meta-characters in libtool and it's variables much
improved.
* Fix memleaks in libltdl.
* Fix a linkscript problem on Windows.
* Fix quote test for hosts that use $EXEEXT.
* Fix expansion of ${wl} expressions in output of link commands on Mac
OS X (and others).
* Fix a regression in 1.9d, where ECHO was always set to 'echo' and the
backslash quoting tests were never run.
* Fix a regression in 1.9d, where progpath was used for --no-reexec
before it was set.
* Fix a regression in 1.9d, which required an installed automake to
build the bootstrapped tarball.
* Fix hanging bug on MinGW.Please report bugs to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, along with the verbose output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool --help.'
