# New features
-This page is a placeholder for the eventual release notes.
-
-Notable new features should come with release note updates. This is
-done by creating a file snippet called `snippets/featurename.md` and
-whose contents should look like this:
-
- ## Feature name
-
- A short description explaining the new feature and how it should be used.
-
## Allow early return from a script
Added the function `subdir_done()`. Its invocation exits the current script at
the point of invocation. All previously invoked build targets and commands are
build/executed. All following ones are ignored. If the current script was
invoked via `subdir()` the parent script continues normally.
+## Log output slightly changed
+
+The format of some human-readable diagnostic messages has changed in
+minor ways. In case you are parsing these messages, you may need to
+adjust your code.
+
+## 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.
+
+## Compiler object can now be passed to run_command()
+
+This can be used to run the current compiler with the specified arguments
+to obtain additional information from it.
+One of the use cases is to get the location of development files for the
+GCC plugins:
+
+ cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
+ result = run_command(cc, '-print-file-name=plugin')
+ plugin_dev_path = result.stdout().strip()
+
+## declare_dependency() supports link_whole
+
+`declare_dependency()` supports `link_whole` parameter.
+`link_whole` propagates to build target that uses dependency.
+
+## Old command names are now errors
+
+Old executable names `mesonintrospect`, `mesonconf`, `mesonrewriter`
+and `mesontest` have been deprecated for a long time. Starting from
+this version they no longer do anything but instead always error
+out. All functionality is available as subcommands in the main `meson`
+binary.
+
+## Meson and meson configure now accept the same arguments
+
+Previously meson required that builtin arguments (like prefix) be passed as
+`--prefix` to `meson` and `-Dprefix` to `meson configure`. `meson` now accepts -D
+form like `meson configure` has. `meson configure` also accepts the `--prefix`
+form, like `meson` has.
+
+## Recursively extract objects
+
+`recursive` keyword argument has been added to `extract_all_objects`. When set
+to `true` it will also return objects passed to the `objects` argument of this
+target. By default only objects built for this target are returned to maintain
+backward compatibility with previous versions. The default will eventually be
+changed to `true` in a future version.
+
+```meson
+lib1 = static_library('a', 'source.c', objects : 'prebuilt.o')
+lib2 = static_library('b', objects : lib1.extract_all_objects(recursive : true))
+```
+
+## 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)
+meson.override_find_program('mycodegen', prog_script)
+```
+
+## has_link_argument() and friends
+
+A new set of methods has been added on compiler objects to test if the linker
+supports given arguments.
+
+- `has_link_argument()`
+- `has_multi_link_arguments()`
+- `get_supported_link_arguments()`
+- `first_supported_link_argument()`
+
+## "meson help" now shows command line help
+
+Command line parsing is now less surprising. "meson help" is now
+equivalent to "meson --help" and "meson help <subcommand>" is
+equivalent to "meson <subcommand> --help", instead of creating a build
+directory called "help" in these cases.
+
+## 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.
+
+## install_data() supports rename
+
+`rename` parameter is used to change names of the installed files.
+In order to install
+- `file1.txt` into `share/myapp/dir1/data.txt`
+- `file2.txt` into `share/myapp/dir2/data.txt`
+```meson
+install_data(['file1.txt', 'file2.txt'],
+ rename : ['dir1/data.txt', 'dir2/data.txt'],
+ install_dir : 'share/myapp')
+```
+
+## 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.
+A new wrap mode was added, `--wrap-mode=forcefallback`. When this is set,
+dependencies for which a fallback was provided will always use it, even
+if an external dependency exists and satisfies the version requirements.
+
+## 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.
+
+## Addition of OpenMP dependency
+
+An OpenMP dependency (`openmp`) has been added that encapsulates the various
+flags used by compilers to enable OpenMP and checks for the existence of the
+`omp.h` header. The `language` keyword may be passed to force the use of a
+specific compiler for the checks.
+
+## Added new partial_dependency method to dependencies and libraries
+
+It is now possible to use only part of a dependency in a target. This allows,
+for example, to only use headers with convenience libraries to avoid linking
+to the same library multiple times.
+
+```meson
+
+dep = dependency('xcb')
+
+helper = static_library(
+ 'helper',
+ ['helper1.c', 'helper2.c'],
+ dependencies : dep.partial_dependency(includes : true),
+]
+
+final = shared_library(
+ 'final',
+ ['final.c'],
+ dependencyes : dep,
+)
+```
+
+A partial dependency will have the same name version as the full dependency it
+is derived from, as well as any values requested.
+
+## Improved generation of pkg-config files for static only libraries.
+
+Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
+with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
+
+Now the generated file contains the needed dependencies libraries directly within
+`Requires` and `Libs` for build static libraries passed via the `libraries` keyword
+argument.
+
+Projects that install both a static and a shared version of a library should use
+the result of `both_libraries` to the pkg config file generator or use
+configure_file for more complicated setups.
+
+## Improvements to pkgconfig module
+
+A `StaticLibrary` or `SharedLibrary` object can optionally be passed
+as first positional argument of the `generate()` method. If one is provided a
+default value will be provided for all required fields of the pc file:
+- `install_dir` is set to `pkgconfig` folder in the same location than the provided library.
+- `description` is set to the project's name followed by the library's name.
+- `name` is set to the library's name.
+
+Generating a .pc file is now as simple as:
+
+```
+pkgconfig.generate(mylib)
+```
+
+## pkgconfig.generate() requires parameters non-string arguments
+
+`pkgconfig.generate()` `requires` and `requires_private` parameters
+accept pkgconfig-dependencies and libraries that pkgconfig-files were
+generated for.
+
+## Generic python module
+
+This is a revamped and generic (python 2 and 3) version of the python3
+module. With this new interface, projects can now fully specify the version
+of python they want to build against / install sources to, and can do so
+against multiple major or minor versions in parallel.
+
+## test now supports depends keyword parameter
+
+Build targets and custom targets can be listed in depends argument of test
+function. These targets will be built before test is run even if they have
+`build_by_default : false`.

-In this version, a support for lcc compiler for Elbrus processors

-has been added.
-

-* 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. \ No newline at end of file

-## 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.

-## Added new partial_dependency method to dependencies and libraries
-
-It is now possible to use only part of a dependency in a target. This allows,
-for example, to only use headers with convenience libraries to avoid linking
-to the same library multiple times.
-
-```meson
-
-dep = dependency('xcb')
-
-helper = static_library(
- 'helper',
- ['helper1.c', 'helper2.c'],
- dependencies : dep.partial_dependency(includes : true),
-]
-
-final = shared_library(
- 'final',
- ['final.c'],
- dependencyes : dep,
-)
-```
-
-A partial dependency will have the same name version as the full dependency it
-is derived from, as well as any values requested.

-## Improved generation of pkg-config files for static only libraries.
-
-Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
-with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
-
-Now the generated file contains the needed dependencies libraries directly within
-`Requires` and `Libs` for build static libraries passed via the `libraries` keyword
-argument.

-Projects that install both a static and a shared version of a library should use
-the result of `both_libraries` to the pkg config file generator or use

-## Improvements to pkgconfig module
-
-A `StaticLibrary` or `SharedLibrary` object can optionally be passed
-as first positional argument of the `generate()` method. If one is provided a
-default value will be provided for all required fields of the pc file:
-- `install_dir` is set to `pkgconfig` folder in the same location than the provided library.
-- `description` is set to the project's name followed by the library's name.
-- `name` is set to the library's name.
