Libtoolers! The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.5.4. 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 49 commits by 16 people in the 8 weeks since 2.5.3. See the NEWS below for a brief summary. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! The following people contributed changes to this release:   Adrien Destugues (1)   Alastair McKinstry (6)   Bruno Haible (1)   Ileana Dumitrescu (27)   Jerome Duval (1)   Jonathan Nieder (2)   Joshua Root (1)   Khalid Masum (1)   Markus M眉tzel (1)   Martin Storsj枚 (1)   Richard Purdie (1)   Sergey Poznyakoff (1)   Tim Schumacher (1)   Vincent Lefevre (2)   mintsuki (1)   streaksu (1) Ileana  [on behalf of the libtool maintainers] ================================================================== Here is the GNU libtool home page:     <a href="https://gnu.org/s/libtool/">https://gnu.org/s/libtool/</a> For a summary of changes and contributors, see:   <a href="https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.5.4">https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.5.4</a> or run this command from a git-cloned libtool directory:   git shortlog v2.5.3..v2.5.4 Here are the compressed sources:   <a href="https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz">https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz</a>   (2.0MB)   <a href="https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz">https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz</a>   (1.1MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures:   <a href="https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz.sig">https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz.sig</a>   <a href="https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz.sig">https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz.sig</a> Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:   <a href="https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html">https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html</a> Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:   77227188ead223ed8ba447301eda3761cb68ef57  libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz   2o67LOTc9GuQCY2vliz/po9LT2LqYPeY0O8Skp7eat8=  libtool-2.5.4.tar.gz   9781a113fe6af1b150571410b29d3eee2e792516  libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz   +B9YYGZrC8fYS63e+mDRy5+m/OsjmMw7rKavqmAmZnU=  libtool-2.5.4.tar.xz Verify the base64 SHA256 checksum with cksum -a sha256 --check from coreutils-9.2 or OpenBSD's cksum since 2007.
