[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Howdy, Libtoolers!

After a long hiatus, the Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of
libtool 2.4.7.


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:
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz   (1.9MB)
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.7.tar.xz   (996KB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz.sig
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.7.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

d3f2d5399f4bf5cbd974b812ebaca28d6492ca65  libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz
BOlsJATqcMWQxUbrpCAqThJyLGQAFsErmy8c49SB6ag  libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz
0c90f1b046ea9cd7b32a4b5a6a9df4b46ddb637a  libtool-2.4.7.tar.xz
T38hfwV85lX/IlWa0iGg/Y74StH8X8tpkM7MMzqhY10  libtool-2.4.7.tar.xz

The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 6EAC957F8EEB55C0

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69
  Automake 1.16.3
  Gnulib a5218207e5

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.4.7 (2022-03-16) [stable]

** New features:

  - Libtool script now supports (configure-time and runtime) ARFLAGS
    variable, which obsoletes AR_FLAGS.  This is due to naming conventions
    among other *FLAGS and to be consistent with Automake's ARFLAGS.

  - Gnulib testsuite is enabled and run during 'make check'.

  - Support the Windows version of the Intel C Compiler (icl) in
    libtool script.

  - Pass '-fsanitize=*' flags for GCC and LLVM, and '-specs=*' for GCC
    to linker.

  - Pass '-Xassembler=*' and '-Wa,*' flag to compilers and linkers.

  - The variable 'FILECMD' with default value of '/usr/bin/file' was 
used to
    replace existing hard coded references to '/usr/bin/file'.

  - Add MidnightBSD support.

** Important incompatible changes:

  - Libtool changed ARFLAGS/AR_FLAGS default from 'cru' to 'cr'.

  - Do not pass '-pthread' to Solaris linker.

  - 'libtool' and 'libtoolize' scripts now use '#! /usr/bin/env sh' 
shebang.
    Previously '#! /bin/sh' was used, which presents challenges for
    containerized environments.

** Bug fixes:

  - Fix significant slowdown of libtoolize for certain projects (regression
    introduced in 2.4.3 release) caused by infinite m4 macro recursion.

  - Mitigate the slowdown of libtool script (introduced in v2.4.3) 
caused by
    increased number of calls to '$SED $sed_quote_subst' (bug#20006).

  - Properly parse and export TLS symbols on AIX.

  - Various bug fixes surrounding use of 'sed'.

  - Darwin systems set proper "allow undefined" flag on OSX 11, and
    PowerPC 10.5.

  - Removed some deprecated tests related to 'Makefile.inc' files.


Enjoy!

Thank you! Feels good to make it through the release process for the first
time and get things updated a bit after so many years.

I believe these instructions need to be updated.  It does not seem to be
possible to retrieve the public key by this method.  My understanding is
that the keys.gunupg.net service has been totally dead for the better
part of a year now.

  % gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 6EAC957F8EEB55C0
  gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data

Cheers,
  Nick

Closed, since it's a release and bug-libtool was just CCed for
informational purposes.
