-## ARM compiler for C and CPP
-
-Cross-compilation is now supported for ARM targets using ARM compiler - ARMCC.
-The current implementation does not support shareable libraries.
-The default extension of the output is .axf.
-The environment path should be set properly for the ARM compiler executables.
-The '--cpu' option with the appropriate target type should be mentioned
-in the cross file as shown in the snippet below.

-```
-[properties]
-c_args      = ['--cpu=Cortex-M0plus']
-cpp_args    = ['--cpu=Cortex-M0plus']

-## Building both shared and static libraries
-
-A new function `both_libraries()` has been added to build both shared and static
-libraries at the same time. Source files will be compiled only once and object
-files will be reused to build both shared and static libraries, unless
-`b_staticpic` user option or `pic` argument are set to false in which case
-sources will be compiled twice.
-
-The returned `buildtarget` object always represents the shared library.

-## Can override find_program
-
-It is now possible to override the result of `find_program` to point
-to a custom program you want. The overriding is global and applies to
-every subproject from there on. Here is how you would use it.
-
-In master project
-
-```meson
-subproject('mydep')
-```
-
-In the called subproject:
-
-```meson
-prog = find_program('my_custom_script')
-meson.override_find_program('mycodegen', prog)
-```
-
-In master project (or, in fact, any subproject):
-
-```meson
-genprog = find_program('mycodegen')
-```
-
-Now `genprog` points to the custom script. If the dependency had come
-from the system, then it would point to the system version.
-
-You can also use the return value of `configure_file()` to override
-a program in the same way as above:
-
-```meson
-prog_script = configure_file(input : 'script.sh.in',
-                             output : 'script.sh',
-                             configuration : cdata)

-## Autogeneration of simple meson.build files
-
-A feature to generate a meson.build file compiling given C/C++ source
-files into a single executable has been added to "meson init". By
-default, it will take all recognizable source files in the current
-directory.  You can also specify a list of dependencies with the -d
-flag and automatically invoke a build with the -b flag to check if the
-code builds with those dependencies. 
-
-For example,
-
-```meson
-meson init -fbd sdl2,gl
-```
-
-will look for C or C++ files in the current directory, generate a
-meson.build for them with the dependencies of sdl2 and gl and
-immediately try to build it, overwriting any previous meson.build and
-build directory.

-## Support for lcc compiler for e2k (Elbrus) architecture
-
-In this version, a support for lcc compiler for Elbrus processors
-based on [e2k microarchitecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus_2000)
-has been added.
-
-Examples of such CPUs:
-* [Elbrus-8S](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-8S);
-* Elbrus-4S;
-* [Elbrus-2S+](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-2S%2B).
-
-Such compiler have a similar behavior as gcc (basic option compatibility),
-but, in is not strictly compatible with gcc as of current version.
-
-Major differences as of version 1.21.22:
-* it does not support LTO and PCH;
-* it suffers from the same dependency file creation error as icc;
-* it has minor differences in output, especially version output;
-* it differently reacts to lchmod() detection;
-* some backend messages are produced in ru_RU.KOI8-R even if LANG=C;
-* its preprocessor treats some characters differently.
-
-So every noted difference is properly handled now in meson.

-## String escape character sequence update
-
-Single-quoted strings in meson have been taught the same set of escape
-sequences as in Python. It is therefore now possible to use arbitrary bytes in
-strings, like for example `NUL` (`\0`) and other ASCII control characters. See
-the chapter about [*Strings* in *Syntax*](Syntax.md#strings) for more
-details.
-
-Potential backwards compatibility issue: Any valid escape sequence according to
-the new rules will be interpreted as an escape sequence instead of the literal
-characters. Previously only the following escape sequences were supported in
-single-quote strings: `\'`, `\\` and `\n`.
-
-Note that the behaviour of triple-quoted (multiline) strings has not changed.
-They behave like raw strings and do not support any escape sequences.

-## Relaxing of target name requirements
-
-In earlier versions of Meson you could only have one target of a given name for each type.
-For example you could not have two executables named `foo`. This requirement is now
-relaxed so that you can have multiple targets with the same name, as long as they are in
-different subdirectories.

-Note that projects that have multiple targets with the same name can not be built with
-the `flat` layout or any backend that writes outputs in the same directory.
