GNU Libtool 1.5.22 released.

[Ralf Wildenhues]

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
1.5.22.

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.

This release fixes quite a number of bugs, one of them a minor local
security issue.

New in 1.5.22: 2005-12-18

* Fix 1.5 regression that caused linking a program `-static' to also
  link statically against installed libtool libraries, contrary to
  documented (and actual 1.4.x) behavior.
* Fix file ownership for BSD `ranlib'.
* Initial support for Beos/C++.
* Fixed detection of link_static_flag, and self-dlopening.
* Fixed setting of shlibpath variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH and similar)
  and order of link search paths for creating and testing of uninstalled
  libraries.
* Fix silent failure of `libtoolize --ltdl' if libltdl files not present.
* Fixed command line settings for non-GCC compilers, Solaris/64bit.
* Support for Interix 3 (Windows SFU).
* 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.
* Fix potential denial of service by malicious other users for tmpdir
  directory creation at relink time.
* Bug Fixes, among others for AIX, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, HPUX, MinGW,
  OpenBSD, UnixWare.

This release was bootstrapped with Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.9.6, but
is useable with Autoconf 2.50 & later and Automake 1.5 and 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-1-5-22 libtool

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

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