pkgconf-2.5.1

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 2.5.1.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Changes from previous version of pkgconf

Changes from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1:

• Fix processing of empty dependency lists.

Changes from 2.4.3 to 2.5.0:

• Added a manual page for bomtool.

• Add support for preloaded packages. These are modules which are preloaded into the package database and preferred over searching the module search path when present.

• Refactor Windows registry PKG_CONFIG_PATH support so that it augments the main directory search list instead of being treated as a special case.

• Processing of --with-path arguments by the pkgconf CLI is now deferred until libpkgconf is fully initialized, effectively aligning behavior with PKG_CONFIG_PATH processing.

• Fix several minor memory safety bugs which were identified by the GCC 15 static analyzer.

• Added support for pledge(2) and unveil(2) on systems where this functionality is available.

• Significant improvements to pkgconf's manual pages.

• Remove questionable default-static assumption on Windows that was inherited from the original pkg-config. Most distributions of pkgconf on Windows were already patching this out.

• Add -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L to the build definitions, which is needed for readlinkat on glibc.
