+v0.5.0:
+
+This is the first tagged release of slibtool. It is the result of two months of
+intensive development, and follows rigorous testing on several systems. As of
+this initial release, slibtool is known to successfully build an entire Exherbo
+Linux system from source, build the midipix cross compilation toolchain from
+source, and likewise build many other packages.
+
+Support for the ELF/default host flavor is complete, and does not appear to have
+any errors. Support for the PE/midipix flavor is also complete, and includes not
+only static archives and shared libraries, but also import libraries with
+version support. Support for the Darwin host flavor already exists too, yet it
+is currently semantically incorrect, and so will be fixed in the next release.

+v0.5.0:
+
+The initial rapid development of slibtool, and likewise the
+relatively short time from inception to first release, would not have
+been possible without the shared wisdom and tremendous help that was
+provided by Kylie McClain, a renowned Exherbo Linux developer and build
+system wizard. Kylie tirelessly tested slibtool by running the Exherbo
+world build time and again around the clock until there no more visible
+failures (read: until she finally stopped jinxing it), handling the
+tediousness of the task with a cool spirit and a great sense of humor.
+
+Thanks also to Ørjan Malde (the one and only), who readily turned
+himself into a Somemulator and helped debugging a race condition in
+slibtool's compile mode translation unit (commit cd7387f).
