1.1 Version 2.6.8
1.1 Version 2.7.0
=================
When building non-flattened, the subdirectory name for
libraries/binaries is changed for Debian compatibility (and simplicity)
to use a directory whose name is of the form architecture/library-combo
rather than nested directories of the form cpu/os-abi/library-combo.
The architecture name format is a sanitised triplet cpu-os-abi (where
previously we had cpu/os-abi).
When building non-flattened, header files are now installed in an
architecture and library-combo dependent subdirectory in the same way
that binary libraries are installed. This removes an inconsistency and
makes sense with Debian multiarch support which puts headers in an
architecture specific subdirectory.
The long since deprecated GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR is removed.
