There is also a *plain* type that +adds nothing by default but instead makes it the user's responsibility +to add everything by hand. This works but is a bit tedious. + +In this release we have added new new options to manually toggle +e.g. optimization levels and debug info so those can be changed +independently of other options. For example by default the debug +buildtype has no optmization enabled at all. If you wish to use GCC's +`-Og` instead, you could set it with the following command: + +``` +meson configure -Doptimization=g +``` + +Similarly we have added a toggle option to select the version of +Visual Studio C runtime to use. By default it uses the debug runtime +DLL debug builds and release DLL for release builds but this can be +manually changed with the new base option `b_vscrt`. |
