GNU Libtool 1.5.2 released

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
1.5.2.

GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,
which hides the comlexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules)
behind a consistent, portable interface.

This release fixes bugs and annoyances present in the 1.5 release. 

New in 1.5.2: 2004-01-25

* lt_dlrealloc is an official part of the libltdl API.
* --tag, --silent and --debug options are preserved and reused when
  libtool calls itself for relinking etc.
* `-pthread' and similar options are honoured when linking shared
  libraries.
* -no-suppress in compile mode shows compiler output for both PIC and
  non-PIC object compilation.
* New link mode option `-precious-files-regex' to prevent accidental
  removal of files you want to keep, such as test coverage data, from
  the temporary output directory.
* Directories specified in /etc/ld.so.conf are no longer hardcoded on
  Linux.
* Recognises the 'R' symbol type on Solaris so read-only symbols can be
  exported.
* Bug fixes.

This release was bootstrapped with Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.8.2, but
is useable with Autoconf 2.50 & later and Automake 1.4 & later in your
own projects.

Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from
anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when you
are prompted for the password):

  $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/libtool login
  Password:
  $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/libtool \
  co -r release-1-5-2 libtool

You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake and
Autoconf installed to bootstrap the checked out sources yourself.

Please report bugs to <[email protected]>.
