GNU Libtool 1.5.4 released

[Peter O'Gorman]

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
1.5.4.

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 has fixes for bugs found in releases 1.5 and 1.5.2.

New in 1.5.4: Saturday, April 3rd 2004

  Less brokenness.

This release was bootstrapped with autoconf-2.59 and automake-1.8.3,
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):

  $ export CVS_RSH=ssh
  $ cvs -z3 -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/libtool \
  co -r release-1-5-4 libtool

You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake
(1.8.3) and Autoconf (2.59) installed to
bootstrap the checked out sources yourself.

Please report bugs to <address@hidden>.
