Libtoolers!
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.4.2.418.
This is a preliminary alpha release to begin platform testing in preparation for the next stable release.
I built 2.4.2.418 on x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 (OpenIndiana 151a8) with the Oracle Studio 12.3 toolchain. There was one unexpected failure in the new test suite: 21: quote shell meta-characters in filenames FAILED (libtool.at:120) If I re-run the test-suite with --verbose, test #21 shows: 21. libtool.at:60: testing quote shell meta-characters in filenames ... ./libtool.at:102: $LIBTOOL -n --mode=$mode $preargs $preflag"$flag:test" $postargs stdout: libtool: compile: cc -c -DVAR=:test foo.c -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o libtool: compile: cc -c -DVAR=:test foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1 ./libtool.at:106: grep "$mode:.*$match_preflag$flag:test " stdout stdout: libtool: compile: cc -c -DVAR=:test foo.c -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o libtool: compile: cc -c -DVAR=:test foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1 ./libtool.at:116: $LIBTOOL -n --mode=$mode $preargs $preflag"$flag\\:test\\" $postargs stdout: libtool: compile: cc -c "-DVAR=\\:test\\" foo.c -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o libtool: compile: cc -c "-DVAR=\\:test\\" foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1 ./libtool.at:120: grep "$mode:.*$match_preflag"'"\?'"$flag\\\\\\\\:test\\\\\\\\"'"\?

There's a patch after my signature that alters the README to provide the actual name of the log file from the test suite.
