Libtool 2.2.6b released

November 16, 2009 in computers by peter | No comments

I released libtool 2.2.6b today. Yes, I have already taken flak for the stupid version numbering. I apologize.

The release has only 2 real patches from 2.2.6, both for libltdl. See the announcement for slightly more detail.

Some users may be stuck using an older libltdl for whatever reason, for those users the same changes are provided by this untested patch.

[Update 2009-11-21]
The change to libltdl to not search in the current working directory for modules when lt_dlopen() is called without an absolute path breaks at least mpg123. This patch should work around the problem until the mpg123 folks fix it.

[Update 2009-12-02]
This release was to fix the now published CVE-2009-3736. If you have not already updated, doing so soon is advisable.
