The Libtool Team is pleased to announce alpha release 1.9d of GNU
Libtool.

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.

Here are the compressed sources:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9d.tar.gz
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9d.tar.bz2

Here are the xdeltas and diffs against libtool-1.9b:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9b-1.9d.diff.gz
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9b-1.9d.xdelta

Here are the gpg detached signatures:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9d.tar.gz.sig
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9d.tar.bz2.sig
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9b-1.9d.diff.gz.sig
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.9b-1.9d.xdelta.sig

You should download the signature named after any tarball you download,
and then verify its integrity with, for example:

  gpg --verify libtool-1.9d.tar.gz

This release has fixed some of the portability problems with 1.9b, but 
needs testing on as many platforms as possible before 2.0 can be 
released.

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:address@hidden:/cvsroot/libtool \
  co -r release-1-9d libtool

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

New in 1.9d: 2004-10-03

* If non-pic objects were not compiled, and libtool is called in link 
mode,
  libtool no longer silently creates an empty archive, but rather falls
  back to pic objects.
* When compiling C glue code with $LTCC, libtool now saves the setting 
of
  $compiler_flags from the C tag, and passes those flags to $LTCC.
* libtool no longer dies when concurrently creating directories with
  `make -j' on multi-processor hosts.
* Return type, and name parameter of lt_dlloader_remove are no longer
  `const'.
* Name parameter of lt_dlloader_find is no longer 'const'.
* The API for the slist ADT has been updated: slist_new has been 
replaced
  by slist_box; slist_unbox and slist_sort are new; the footprint of
  slist_remove and slist_fnid have changed; SListCallback and 
SListCompare
  types have been exchanged.  See libltdl/slist.c for documentation.
* libltdl is C89 compatible again.  lt_dlsymbol type removed, and 
lt_dlsymlist
  structure changed to avoid using C99 flexible arrays.
* Support self dlopening for executables on cygwin and mingw.
* Improved support for linux-gnu/ia64.
* Initial support for s390x-ibm-tpf.
* Fixed some memory leaks in libltdl.

Please report bugs to <address@hidden>, along with the verbose
output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool 
- --help.'
