-## New `section` key for the buildoptions introspection
-
-Meson now has a new `section` key in each build option. This allows
-IDEs to group these options similar to `meson configure`.
-
-The possible values for `section` are:
-
- - core
- - backend
- - base
- - compiler
- - directory
- - user
- - test

-## CC-RX compiler for C and CPP
-
-Cross-compilation is now supported for Renesas RX targets with the CC-RX compiler.
-
-The environment path should be set properly for the CC-RX compiler executables.
-The `-cpu` option with the appropriate value should be mentioned in the cross-file as shown in the snippet below.
-
-```ini
-[properties]
-c_args      = ['-cpu=rx600']
-cpp_args    = ['-cpu=rx600']
-```
-
-The default extension of the executable output is `.abs`.
-Other target specific arguments to the compiler and linker will need to be added explicitly from the cross-file(`c_args`/`c_link_args`/`cpp_args`/`cpp_link_args`) or some other way.
-Refer to the CC-RX User's manual for additional compiler and linker options.

-## CMake `find_package` dependency backend
-
-Meson can now use the CMake `find_package` ecosystem to
-detect dependencies. Both the old-style `<NAME>_LIBRARIES`
-variables as well as imported targets are supported. Meson
-can automatically guess the correct CMake target in most
-cases but it is also possible to manually specify a target
-with the `modules` property.
-
-```meson
-# Implicitly uses CMake as a fallback and guesses a target
-dep1 = dependency('KF5TextEditor')
-
-# Manually specify one or more CMake targets to use
-dep2 = dependency('ZLIB', method : 'cmake', modules : ['ZLIB::ZLIB'])
-```
-
-CMake is automatically used after `pkg-config` fails when
-no `method` (or `auto`) was provided in the dependency options.

-## new compiler method `get_argument_syntax`
-
-The compiler object now has `get_argument_syntax` method, which returns a
-string value of `gcc`, `msvc`, or an undefined value string value. This can be
-used to determine if a compiler uses gcc syntax (`-Wfoo`), msvc syntax
-(`/w1234`), or some other kind of arguments.

-## Return `Disabler()` instead of not-found object

-Functions such as `dependency()`, `find_library()`, `find_program()`, and
-`python.find_installation()` have a new keyword argument: `disabler`. When set
-to `true` those functions return `Disabler()` objects instead of not-found
-objects.

-## `introspect --projectinfo` can now be used without configured build directory
-
-This allows IDE integration to get information about the project before the user has configured a build directory.
-
-Before you could use `meson.py introspect --projectinfo build-directory`.
-Now you also can use `meson.py introspect --projectinfo project-dir/meson.build`.
-
-The output is similiar to the output with a build directory but additionally also includes information from `introspect --buildsystem-files`.
-
-For example `meson.py introspect --projectinfo test\ cases/common/47\ subproject\ options/meson.build`
-This outputs (pretty printed for readability):
-```
-{
-    "buildsystem_files": [
-        "meson_options.txt",
-        "meson.build"
-    ],
-    "name": "suboptions",
-    "version": null,
-    "descriptive_name": "suboptions",
-    "subprojects": [
-        {
-            "buildsystem_files": [
-                "subprojects/subproject/meson_options.txt",

-            "descriptive_name": "subproject"
-        }
-    ]
-}

-
-Both usages now include a new `descriptive_name` property which always shows the name set in the project.

-## Can specify keyword arguments with a dictionary
-
-You can now specify keyword arguments for any function and method call
-with the `kwargs` keyword argument. This is perhaps best described
-with an example:
-
-```meson
-options = {'include_directories': include_directories('inc')}
-
-...
-
-executable(...
-  kwargs: options)
-```
-
-The above code is identical to this:
-
-```meson
-executable(...
-  include_directories: include_directories('inc'))
-```
-
-That is, Meson will expand the dictionary given to `kwargs` as if the
-entries in it had been given as keyword arguments directly.
-
-Note that any individual argument can be specified either directly or
-with the `kwarg` dict but not both. If a key is specified twice, it
-is a hard error.

-## Manpages are no longer compressed implicitly
-
-Earlier, the `install_man` command has automatically compressed installed
-manpages into `.gz` format. This collided with manpage compression hooks
-already used by various distributions. Now, manpages are installed uncompressed
-and distributors are expected to handle compressing them according to their own
-compression preferences.

-## Native config files
-
-Native files are the counterpart to cross files, and allow specifying
-information about the build machine, both when cross compiling and when not.
-
-Currently the native files only allow specifying the names of binaries, similar
-to the cross file, for example:
-
-```ini
-[binaries]
-llvm-config = "/opt/llvm-custom/bin/llvm-config"
-```
-
-Will override the llvm-config used for *native* binaries. Targets for the host
-machine will continue to use the cross file.

-# This condition is false

-## Position-independent executables
-
-When `b_pie` option, or `executable()`'s `pie` keyword argument is set to

-with `-fPIE` and the executable is linked with `-pie`. Any static library they
-link must be built with `pic` set to `true` (see `b_staticpic` option).

-## Deprecation warning in pkg-config generator
-
-All libraries passed to the `libraries` keyword argument of the `generate()`
-method used to be associated with that generated pkg-config file. That means
-that any subsequent call to `generate()` where those libraries appear would add
-the filebase of the `generate()` that first contained them into `Requires:` or
-`Requires.private:` field instead of adding an `-l` to `Libs:` or `Libs.private:`.
-
-This behaviour is now deprecated. The library that should be associated with
-the generated pkg-config file should be passed as first positional argument
-instead of in the `libraries` keyword argument. The previous behaviour is
-maintained but prints a deprecation warning and support for this will be removed
-in a future Meson release. If you can not create the needed pkg-config file
-without this warning, please file an issue with as much details as possible
-about the situation.
-
-For example this sample will write `Requires: liba` into `libb.pc` but print a
-deprecation warning:
-```meson
-liba = library(...)
-pkg.generate(libraries : liba)
-
-libb = library(...)
-pkg.generate(libraries : [liba, libb])
-```
-
-It can be fixed by passing `liba` as first positional argument::
-```meson
-liba = library(...)
-pkg.generate(liba)
-
-libb = library(...)
-pkg.generate(libb, libraries : [liba])
-```
