System: NetBSD hysteria.tx.elfin.net 1.6W NetBSD 1.6W (GENERIC) #1: Mon Aug 18 22:11:25 UTC 2003 root@tidell.tx.elfin.net:/d/d1g/NetBSD/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The tarball at http://www.elfin.net/netbsd/libtool.tar.gz upgrades pkgsrc/devel/libtool*/ to release version 1.5. 

 * Most of the pkgsrc patches have been incorporated into this release.

 * This new release includes a major bump of the ltdl shared library. From
   looking at other packages, this will require a nb bump on all packages
   that require libtool.

 * LIBTOOL_REQD will need to be updated in pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.mk.

 * libtool now warns about instances where '--mode' is not explicitly set
   via the command line.

I've been running libtool-1.5 on a -current i386 box now for about 2 months
now. Things just work. I have not tested this update on any other OS.

From the NEWS file for major changes:

New in 1.5: 2002-04-14; CVS version 1.4e, Libtool team:
* First stable release of multi-language architecture.
* libtool and libltdl support for Mac OS/X.
* libltdl will now use cygwins dlopen API instead of always forcing
  LoadLibrary.
* Support auto-import patch to binutils on cygwin for much improved dll
  support.
* Bug fixes.
