-# Config-Tool based dependencies can be specified in a cross file
-
-Tools like LLVM and pcap use a config tool for dependencies, this is a script
-or binary that is run to get configuration information (cflags, ldflags, etc)
-from.
-
-These binaries may now be specified in the `binaries` section of a cross file.

-## Removed two deprecated features
-
-The standalone `find_library` function has been a no-op for a long
-time. Starting with this version it becomes a hard error.
-
-There used to be a keywordless version of `run_target` which looked
-like this:
-
-    run_target('targetname', 'command', 'arg1', 'arg2')
-
-This is now an error. The correct format for this is now:
-
-    run_target('targetname',
-      command : ['command', 'arg1', 'arg2'])

-## Experimental FPGA support
-
-This version adds support for generating, analysing and uploading FPGA
-programs using the [IceStorm
-toolchain](http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/). This support is
-experimental and is currently limited to the `iCE 40` series of FPGA
-chips.
-
-FPGA generation integrates with other parts of Meson seamlessly. As an
-example, [here](https://github.com/jpakkane/lm32) is an example
-project that compiles a simple firmware into Verilog and combines that
-with an lm32 softcore processor.

-## Generator outputs can preserve directory structure
-
-Normally when generating files with a generator, Meson flattens the
-input files so they all go in the same directory. Some code
-generators, such as Protocol Buffers, require that the generated files
-have the same directory layout as the input files used to generate
-them. This can now be achieved like this:
-
-```meson
-g = generator(...) # Compiles protobuf sources
-generated = gen.process('com/mesonbuild/one.proto',
-  'com/mesonbuild/two.proto',
-  preserve_path_from : meson.current_source_dir())
-
-This would cause the following files to be generated inside the target
-private directory:
-
-    com/mesonbuild/one.pb.h
-    com/mesonbuild/one.pb.cc
-    com/mesonbuild/two.pb.h
-    com/mesonbuild/two.pb.cc

-## Rust cross-compilation
-
-Cross-compilation is now supported for Rust targets. Like other
-cross-compilers, the Rust binary must be specified in your cross
-file. It should specify a `--target` (as installed by `rustup target`)
-and a custom linker pointing to your C cross-compiler. For example:
-
-```
-[binaries]
-c = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7'
-rust = [
-    'rustc',
-    '--target', 'arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf',
-    '-C', 'linker=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7',

-## Improve test setup selection
-

-is possible to select the used test setup from a specific project. E.g.

-executed tests one can use

-# Can promote dependencies with wrap command

-The `promote` command makes it easy to copy nested dependencies to the top level.
-
-    meson wrap promote scommon
-
-This will search the project tree for a subproject called `scommon` and copy it to the top level.

-If there are many embedded subprojects with the same name, you have to specify which one to promote manually like this:

-## Yielding subproject option to superproject
-
-Normally project options are specific to the current project. However
-sometimes you want to have an option whose value is the same over all
-projects. This can be achieved with the new `yield` keyword for
-options. When set to `true`, getting the value of this option in
-`meson.build` files gets the value from the option with the same name
-in the master project (if such an option exists).
