I would be more than happy to cut a release, if only I could remember how. I think the last version I released was 1.5.x - I'll look around but if anyone on the list remembers where the instructions are - please help me out ;) Thanks, Rob Boehne On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 5:50 AM Samuel Tardieu wrote: > Hi. > > Since libtool latest release 3 years ago, some important problems have > been patched.

My question was solely about tagging and cutting a new release from the current state of the repository so that patches contributed by volunteers and accepted in the repository already get a more widespread distribution. Volunteers with the necessary energy, time, and resources are necessary in order to perform this function.

I understand how getting through QA for doing a new release can be time consuming (unless the current commits already went through an exhaustive enough CI run). Note that some distributions such as ArchLinux have been using the current git HEAD as their sanctioned libtool package. This should increase the confidence that the current git HEAD behaves better than the latest release. Sam ___ https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
