+0.5.26:
+
+This patch release follows significant improvements in, as well as additions
+to slibtool's functionality. Most notably, with the additions of --heuristics
+and the rlibtool convenience symlink, slibtool may now automagically operate
+in the exact same mode (static only, shared only, or both) as the generated
+libtool script for which it serves as a surrogate.
+

+- utility: convenience symlinks: added rclibtool, rdlibtool, and rdclibtool.

+- driver: output error vector upon post-argv-parsing failures.
+- driver: execution context: added slbt_reset_argvector().
+- driver: properly normalize --library-path=<path> arguments.
