4.15.0
======

- New macro XDT_VERSION_INIT(SEMVER[, TAG])

This macro takes care of setting up the version numbering.
It will define the following macros based on SEMVER and TAG:

   - xdt_version
   - xdt_version_major
   - xdt_version_minor
   - xdt_version_micro
   - xdt_version_tag
   - xdt_version_build
   - xdt_debug_default

If TAG isn't specified, the xdt_version_tag and xdt_version_git
will be empty and xdt_debug_default will be set to "minimum",
otherwise the xdt_version_build will contain a git hash and
xdt_debug_default will be set to "yes"

Example usage:

  XDT_VERSION_INIT([4.15.3],[git])
  AC_INIT([xfce4-someproject], [xdt_version()])
  ...
  XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG([xdt_debug_default])


- XDT_I18N macro will now automatically find the linguas if none are specified during the autoconf run.

- Install m4 macros in default search dir. This makes autoconf find the macros by default.

By setting version via XDT_VERSION_INIT and using XDT_I18N without arguments, 
this is no longer necessary to use a separate configure.ac.in and a plain configure.ac can be used.

- Use datarootdir instead of datadir
- xdt-autogen: explicitly set search path for m4 macros
- Install the xfce-helpers
- Add two new helpers to help releasers
- Install m4 macros into default $datadir/aclocal
- Update README for new gitlab urls
- xdt-autogen: Improve and simplify linguas detection

- Let configure generate the xdt-autogen script
- Implement XDT_VERSION_INIT
- Add manpage and tests to xdt-csource
- Add xfce4-dev-tools build in addition to container build
- Check BEFORE_SHA along with changes to .po files
- gitlabci: Ensure to run autogen in distcheck stage
- Switch to "foreign" mode for automake
- Add CI templates notes
- Update README with explanation of Dockerfile
- Fix whitespace error
- Add helper script to get all translation-updates
- Integrate xfce-build container build/creation

- Add XDT_FEATURE_VISIBILITY to check for and enable symbol visibility
  support (only useful for building libraries).

- Beef up XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG:
  * Add new 'minimum' debug level, which is now the default and behaves
    similarly to the old 'no' default.
  * Debug level 'no' disables many glib/gobject-related checks and
    asserts (this is not really recommended).
  * Debug level 'full' disables code optimization.
  * The macro now takes an argument to specify the default debug level.

  XDT_SUPPORTED_FLAGS() that tests whether the compiler supports particular
  option flags.

  detect changed ChangeLogs in SVN. This should get rid the empty lines when

  run systemwide versions of the scripts.
