-# Embedded Python in Windows MSI packages
-
-Meson now ships an internal version of Python in the MSI installer packages.
-This means that it can run Python scripts that are part of your build
-transparently. That is, if you do the following:
-
-    myprog = find_program('myscript.py')
-
-Then Meson will run the script with its internal Python version if necessary.

-# Config-Tool based dependencies gained a method to get arbitrary options
-
-A number of dependencies (CUPS, LLVM, pcap, WxWidgets, GnuStep) use a config
-tool instead of pkg-config. As of this version they now have a
-`get_configtool_variable` method, which is analogous to the
-`get_pkgconfig_variable` for pkg config.
-
-```meson
-dep_llvm = dependency('LLVM')
-llvm_inc_dir = dep_llvm.get_configtool_variable('includedir')

-# Added disabler object
-
-A disabler object is a new kind of object that has very specific
-semantics. If it is used as part of any other operation such as an
-argument to a function call, logical operations etc, it will cause the
-operation to not be evaluated. Instead the return value of said
-operation will also be the disabler object.
-
-For example if you have an setup like this:
-
-```meson
-dep = dependency('foo')
-lib = shared_library('mylib', 'mylib.c',
-  dependencies : dep)
-exe = executable('mytest', 'mytest.c',
-  link_with : lib)
-test('mytest', exe)
-```
-
-If you replace the dependency with a disabler object like this:
-
-```meson
-dep = disabler()
-lib = shared_library('mylib', 'mylib.c',
-  dependencies : dep)
-exe = executable('mytest', 'mytest.c',
-  link_with : lib)
-test('mytest', exe)
-```
-
-Then the shared library, executable and unit test are not
-created. This is a handy mechanism to cut down on the number of `if`
-statements.

-# `get_unquoted()` method for the `configuration` data object

-New convenience method that allows reusing a variable value

-# Added `if_found` to subdir
-
-Added a new keyword argument to the `subdir` command. It is given a
-list of dependency objects and the function will only recurse in the
-subdirectory if they are all found. Typical usage goes like this.
-
-    d1 = dependency('foo') # This is found
-    d2 = dependency('bar') # This is not found
-
-    subdir('somedir', if_found : [d1, d2])
-
-In this case the subdirectory would not be entered since `d2` could
-not be found.

-# LLVM dependency supports both dynamic and static linking
-
-The LLVM dependency has been improved to consistently use dynamic linking.
-Previously recent version (>= 3.9) would link dynamically while older versions
-would link statically.
-
-Now LLVM also accepts the `static` keyword to enable statically linking to LLVM
-modules instead of dynamically linking.

-# An array type for user options
-
-Previously to have an option that took more than one value a string value would
-have to be created and split, but validating this was difficult. A new array type
-has been added to the meson_options.txt for this case. It works like a 'combo', but
-allows more than one option to be passed. The values can optionally be validated
-against a list of valid values. When used on the command line (with -D), values
-are passed as a comma separated list.
-
-```meson
-option('array_opt', type : 'array', choices : ['one', 'two', 'three'], value : ['one'])
-```
-
-These can be overwritten on the command line,
-
-```meson
-meson _build -Darray_opt=two,three
-```

-These options now default in a way consistent with

-
-If prefix is `/usr`, default sysconfdir to `/etc`, localstatedir to `/var` and
-sharedstatedir to `/var/lib`.

-If prefix is `/usr/local` (the default), default localstatedir to `/var/local`

-# Adds support for additional Qt5-Module keyword `moc_extra_arguments`
-
-When `moc`-ing sources, the `moc` tool does not know about any
-preprocessor macros. The generated code might not match the input
-files when the linking with the moc input sources happens.

-This amendment allows to specify a a list of additional arguments

-## System wide and user local cross files
-
-Meson has gained the ability to load cross files from predefined locations
-without passing a full path on Linux and the BSD OSes. User local files will be
-loaded from `$XDG_DATA_HOME/meson/cross`, or if XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined,
-`~/.local/share/meson/cross` will be used.
-
-For system wide paths the values of `$XDG_DATA_DIRS` + `/meson/cross` will be used,
-if XDG_DATA_DIRS is undefined then `/usr/local/share/meson/cross:/usr/share/meson/cross`
-will be used instead.
-
-A file relative to the current working directory will be tried first, then the
-user specific path will be tried before the system wide paths.
-
-Assuming that a file x86-linux is located in one of those places a cross build
-can be started with:
-
-```sh
-meson builddir/ --cross-file x86-linux
-```
