Libtoolers!

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.5.3.

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.

There have been 14 commits by 2 people in the 27 days since 2.5.2.

See the NEWS below for a brief summary. An alpha and two beta releases
of GNU Libtool have been released prior to this stable release. Please
view the NEWS entries for those releases for a more complete summary of
the updates between stable releases 2.4.7 and 2.5.3.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

==================================================================

Here is the announcement on Savannah:
    https://savannah.gnu.org/news/?id=10676

Here is the GNU libtool home page:
    https://gnu.org/s/libtool/

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.5.3
or run this command from a git-cloned libtool directory:
  git shortlog v2.5.2..v2.5.3

Here are the compressed sources:
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.3.tar.gz   (2.0MB)
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.3.tar.xz   (1.1MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures:
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.3.tar.gz.sig
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.3.tar.xz.sig

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

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

  f48e2fcdb0b80f97e93366c41fdcd1ea90f2f253  libtool-2.5.3.tar.gz
  kyK9j2vISP2j44WJndGTSVcWllKs73FtGdGdJAU6u5U=  libtool-2.5.3.tar.gz
  f1450b2f652d9acf3b83eee823cad966a149cca4  libtool-2.5.3.tar.xz
  iYARIyzFm2s7u+Mhtgq6nbGsEVeKth7Q3wKZRYFGri4=  libtool-2.5.3.tar.xz

Verify the base64 SHA256 checksum with cksum -a sha256 --check
from coreutils-9.2 or OpenBSD's cksum since 2007.

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-2.5.3.tar.gz.sig

The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key:

  pub   rsa4096 2021-09-23 [SC]
        FA26 CA78 4BE1 8892 7F22  B99F 6570 EA01 146F 7354
  uid   Ileana Dumitrescu <ileanadumi95@protonmail.com>
  uid   Ileana Dumitrescu <ileanadumitrescu95@gmail.com>

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  gpg --locate-external-key ileanadumi95@protonmail.com

  gpg --recv-keys 6570EA01146F7354

wget -q -O- 'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=libtool&download=1' | gpg --import -

As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU
keyring:

  wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
  gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify libtool-2.5.3.tar.gz.sig

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.72e
  Automake 1.17
  Gnulib v1.0-803-g30417e7f91

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.5.3 (2024-09-25) [stable]

** New features:

  - Add 'aarch64' support to the file magic test, which allows for
    shared libraries to be built with Mingw for aarch64.

** Bug fixes:

  - The configure options --with-pic and --without-pic have been renamed
    to --enable-pic and --disable-pic, respectively.  The old names
    --with-pic and --without-pic are still supported, though, for
    backward compatibility.

  - The configure option --with-aix-soname has been renamed to
    --enable-aix-soname.  The old name --with-aix-soname is still
    supported, though, for backward compatibility.

  - Fix conflicting warnings about AC_PROG_RANLIB.

  - Document situations where -export-symbols does not work.

  - Update FSF office address with URL in each file's license block.

  - Add checks for aclocal in standalone.at and subproject.at test files
    that report failures in Linux From Scratch and Darwin builds.


Enjoy!
