+1998-03-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
+
+ * Release 1.1.
+
+ * ltmain.in: <sigh> I like `here documents' a lot, but apparently
+ they are so badly handled by old and buggy /bin/sh's, that
+ replacing `cat <<EOF ... EOF' by `$echo "..."' improves libtool's
+ speed by a factor of 5. So, I've eliminated here docs from the
+ all-important ltmain.in. From Tom Lane.
+
+1998-03-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
+
+ * ltconfig.in: Copy the contents of ltmain.sh into the generated
+ libtool. This should more than halve the execution times on old
+ or buggy /bin/sh systems, such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4. From
+ Tom Lane.
+
1998-03-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): Add support for
the `default' package, so that people can control unnamed
packages.
+ (LD): Only add an ABI flag under IRIX 6.x, since IRIX 5.x doesn't
+ support them. From Alexandre Oliva.

NEWS - list of user-visible changes between releases of GNU Libtool
-New in 1.0j - 1998-03-05, Gordon Matzigkeit:
+New in 1.1 - 1998-03-08, Gordon Matzigkeit:
+* Bug fixes.
* http://www.profitpress.com/libtool/ is libtool's homepage.
-* Use the `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' or `AM_DISABLE_STATIC'
- macros instead of the `enable_shared' or `enable_static' variables
- if you wish to modify the default behaviour of `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
-* libtool.m4 supports turning shared or static libraries off with
- the `--enable-shared=PKGS' and `--enable-static=PKGS' configure
+* `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' supports turning shared or static libraries off
+ with the `--enable-shared=PKGS' and `--enable-static=PKGS' configure
flags. See (libtool)AM_PROG_LIBTOOL.
+* Use the `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' or `AM_DISABLE_STATIC' macros if you
+ wish to modify the default behaviour of `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' for your
+ package.
+* New rules for `AM_PROG_LD' to use gcc's `-print-prog-name' flag in
+ order to find ld, if possible.
+* Suppress duplicate compiler output during `compile' mode.
+* Deleted `dlname' mode. Dlopen applications should only use the
+ runtime search method described in (libtool)Finding the dlname.
+* Experimental support for dynamically loaded modules, even on
+ static-only platforms, via new `-dlopen' and `-dlpreopen' link
+ flags.
* `compile' mode honours the `-static' flag to prevent libtool
from building PIC objects.
-* Support for *-*-sysv4.2uw2*.
-
-New in 1.0i - 1998-02-06, Gordon Matzigkeit:
-* Bug fixes.
+* New `execute' mode to support debugging uninstalled libtool
+ libraries and executables.
+* `-allow-undefined' is now the default. You can use `-no-undefined'
+ to declare that a shared library is completely self-contained.
* Inter-library dependencies are automatically handled when linking
- against a `.la' file. This, along with `-no-undefined', should
- prevent many accidental libtool misuses.
+ against an uninstalled `.la' file.
+* New `-all-static' flag to prevent any dynamic linking. The regular
+ `-static' flag now just prevents dynamic linking of libtool libraries.
* New `-release' flag to encode release numbers into libtool
libraries. This breaks binary compatibility, but is useful for
libraries whose interfaces change very frequently. See
(libtool)Versioning.
-
-New in 1.0h - 1997-12-01, Gordon Matzigkeit:
-* A fix for an insidious bug in the quoting code, which broke
- everything on almost all platforms.
-
-New in 1.0g - 1997-11-29, Gordon Matzigkeit:
-* Bug fixes.
-* `-allow-undefined' is now the default. You can use `-no-undefined'
- to declare that a shared library is completely self-contained.
-* Support for *-*-amigaos*.
-
-New in 1.0f - 1997-11-08, Gordon Matzigkeit:
-* Bug fixes.
-* New `-all-static' flag to prevent any dynamic linking. The regular
- `-static' flag now just prevents dynamic linking of libtool libraries.
* The `-rpath' flag can be used to hardcode absolute directories when
linking executables using libtool.
-* Suppress duplicate compiler output during `compile' mode.
-* New `execute' mode to support debugging uninstalled libtool
- libraries and executables.
-* New quoting code to robustly handle any metacharacters passed in
+* New robust quoting code to handle any metacharacters passed in
arguments to libtool commands.
-* Deleted `dlname' mode. Dlopen applications should only use the
- runtime search method described in (libtool)Finding the dlname.
-* Experimental support for dynamically loaded modules, even on
- static-only platforms, via new `-dlopen' and `-dlpreopen' link
- flags.
-* New rules for AM_PROG_LD to use gcc's -print-prog-name flag in order
- to find ld, if possible.
-* Allow configure.in to change the defaults for AM_PROG_LIBTOOL's
- `--enable-shared' and `--enable-static' flags by setting
- the `enable_shared' or `enable_static' shell variables to `no'.
-* Refuse to create libtool libraries that don't begin with `lib'.
- This allows us to correctly handle OSes that don't have the `lib'
- prefix by default, such as OS/2.
* Full support for broken collect2 on AIX 3. Shared libraries
can now be built with all working versions of GCC on AIX.
-* Portability fixes for Windows NT.
+* Shell script speed optimizations for old and buggy /bin/sh systems,
+ such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4.
* Maybe use `_libs' as a temporary libtool directory instead of `.libs'
in order to cope with MS-DOS filenames.
-* Support for *-*-uts4* and *-*-os2*.
+* Portability fixes for Windows NT.

\f
New in 1.0 - 1997-07-08, Gordon Matzigkeit:
* Bug fixes.
For next public release:
************************
+* Inter-library dependencies should be fully tracked by libtool.
+Reminded by Alexandre Oliva. This requires looking up installed
+libtool libraries for transparent support.
+
* Get rid of the sections that try to change behaviour for GNU ld. We
really should make our shared library support just depend on the
compiler type.
* Alexandre Oliva suggests that we hardcode paths into libraries, as
well as binaries: `... -Wl,-soname -Wl,/tmp/libtest.so.0 ...'.
-* Tom Lane adds that HP-UX's linker, at least, distinguishes between
-global function and global variable references. This means that we
-cannot declare every symbol as `extern char'. Find a workaround.
+* Tom Lane adds that HP-UX's linker, at least (I've also found this on
+AIX 4), distinguishes between global function and global variable
+references. This means that we cannot declare every symbol as `extern
+char'. Find a workaround.
+
+* Maybe show other maintainers my nasty ~/bin/libtool trick.
In the future:
**************
-* Inter-library dependencies should be fully tracked by libtool.
-Reminded by Alexandre Oliva. This requires looking up installed
-libtool libraries for transparent support.
+* If not cross-compiling, have the static flag test run the resulting
+binary to make sure everything works.
* Implement full multi-language support. Currently, this is only for
C++, but there are beginnings of this in the manual (Other Languages).
