 # New features

-whose contents should look like this:
+This function prints its argument to the console prefixed by "WARNING:" in
+yellow color. A simple example:
 
-    # Feature name
+warning('foo is deprecated, please use bar instead')
 
-    A short description explaining the new feature and how it should be used.
+
+## Adds support for additional Qt5-Module keyword `moc_extra_arguments`
+
+When `moc`-ing sources, the `moc` tool does not know about any
+preprocessor macros. The generated code might not match the input
+files when the linking with the moc input sources happens.
+
+This amendment allows to specify a a list of additional arguments
+passed to the `moc` tool. They are called `moc_extra_arguments`.
+
+
+## Prefix-dependent defaults for sysconfdir, localstatedir and sharedstatedir
+
+These options now default in a way consistent with
+[FHS](http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml) and common usage.
+
+If prefix is `/usr`, default sysconfdir to `/etc`, localstatedir to `/var` and
+sharedstatedir to `/var/lib`.
+
+If prefix is `/usr/local` (the default), default localstatedir to `/var/local`
+and sharedstatedir to `/var/local/lib`.
+
+
+## An array type for user options
+
+Previously to have an option that took more than one value a string
+value would have to be created and split, but validating this was
+difficult. A new array type has been added to the meson_options.txt
+for this case. It works like a 'combo', but allows more than one
+option to be passed. The values can optionally be validated against a
+list of valid values. When used on the command line (with -D), values
+are passed as a comma separated list.
+
+```meson
+option('array_opt', type : 'array', choices : ['one', 'two', 'three'], value : ['one'])
+```
+
+These can be overwritten on the command line,
+
+```meson
+meson _build -Darray_opt=two,three
+```
+
+## LLVM dependency supports both dynamic and static linking
+
+The LLVM dependency has been improved to consistently use dynamic linking.
+Previously recent version (>= 3.9) would link dynamically while older versions
+would link statically.
+
+Now LLVM also accepts the `static` keyword to enable statically linking to LLVM
+modules instead of dynamically linking.
+
+
+## Added `if_found` to subdir
+
+Added a new keyword argument to the `subdir` command. It is given a
+list of dependency objects and the function will only recurse in the
+subdirectory if they are all found. Typical usage goes like this.
+
+    d1 = dependency('foo') # This is found
+    d2 = dependency('bar') # This is not found
+
+    subdir('somedir', if_found : [d1, d2])
+
+In this case the subdirectory would not be entered since `d2` could
+not be found.
+
+## `get_unquoted()` method for the `configuration` data object
+
+New convenience method that allows reusing a variable value
+defined quoted. Useful in C for config.h strings for example.
+
+
+## Added disabler object
+
+A disabler object is a new kind of object that has very specific
+semantics. If it is used as part of any other operation such as an
+argument to a function call, logical operations etc, it will cause the
+operation to not be evaluated. Instead the return value of said
+operation will also be the disabler object.
+
+For example if you have an setup like this:
+
+```meson
+dep = dependency('foo')
+lib = shared_library('mylib', 'mylib.c',
+  dependencies : dep)
+exe = executable('mytest', 'mytest.c',
+  link_with : lib)
+test('mytest', exe)
+```
+
+If you replace the dependency with a disabler object like this:
+
+```meson
+dep = disabler()
+lib = shared_library('mylib', 'mylib.c',
+  dependencies : dep)
+exe = executable('mytest', 'mytest.c',
+  link_with : lib)
+test('mytest', exe)
+```
+
+Then the shared library, executable and unit test are not
+created. This is a handy mechanism to cut down on the number of `if`
+statements.
+
+
+## Config-Tool based dependencies gained a method to get arbitrary options
+
+A number of dependencies (CUPS, LLVM, pcap, WxWidgets, GnuStep) use a config
+tool instead of pkg-config. As of this version they now have a
+`get_configtool_variable` method, which is analogous to the
+`get_pkgconfig_variable` for pkg config.
+
+```meson
+dep_llvm = dependency('LLVM')
+llvm_inc_dir = dep_llvm.get_configtool_variable('includedir')
+```
+
+## Embedded Python in Windows MSI packages
+
+Meson now ships an internal version of Python in the MSI installer packages.
+This means that it can run Python scripts that are part of your build
+transparently. That is, if you do the following:
+
+    myprog = find_program('myscript.py')
+
+Then Meson will run the script with its internal Python version if necessary.

-if XDG_DATA_DIRS is undefined then `/usr/local/share/meson/cross:/usr/share/meson/cross`
-will be used instead.
-
-A file relative to the current working directory will be tried first, then the
-user specific path will be tried before the system wide paths.

-Assuming that a file x86-linux is located in one of those places a cross build
-can be started with:
