Oh dear. Don't ask about my original plans. They were something like
this: have Autoconf-2.60 in March, then Libtool-1.5.24 soon after that,
then Libtool-2.0 soon after that. :-/
I know Libtool-1.5.24 is important to get out, due to the regressions I
put in 1.5.22. And it will be my primary focus once Autoconf-2.60 is
done. However, there are some other systems that need fixes, HP-UX
being one of them; and a few more patches which have queued up since.
As I don't like to plan on an 1.5.26 (at least not before releasing
1.5.24), I would like to have at least all the currently-known serious
stuff in 1.5.24, so that then we can finally concentrate on 2.0 again.
:-/
The good thing being that I expect Autoconf-2.60 to be done this month.

The two regressions:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2006-03/msg00006.html
Another important patch (for DragonFly):

Definitely.

Well, the longer delay has been due to me working primarily on Autoconf,
and few people working on Libtool meanwhile. I know this isn't good,
and to some extent it may not have been a good idea in hindsight, but
OTOH Autoconf users have been waiting almost 3 years for a new release,
and some pretty desperately.
Cheers,
Ralf
