+0.5.0:
+
+This is the first tagged release of sltdl, a clean implementation for modern
+systems of the legacy ltdl interfaces (nowadays used by only a small number
+of third-party packages).
+
+There are currently no known bugs, however should you encounter any then
+please send a message to bugs@foss21.org, or otherwise report online by
+visiting the #slibtool channel on the oftc irc network. Alternatively, you
+may choose to create an issue on https://dev.midipix.org/cross/sltdl.
+
+In order to seamlessly use sltdl as an ltdl drop-in replacement, one should
+_autoreconf_ the source tree of the project being built after setting
+the LIBTOOLIZE environment variable to /path/to/slibtoolize, as well as the
+ACLOCAL environment variable by appending an appropriate --system-acdir
+argument:
+
+$ EXPORT LIBTOOLIZE=/path/to/slibtoolize
+$ EXPORT ACLOCAL="aclocal --system-acdir=/path/to/share/slibtool"
