| ## Added new `namingscheme` option |
| |
| Traditionally Meson has named output targets so that they don't clash |
| with each other. This has meant, among other things, that on Windows |
| Meson uses a nonstandard `.a` suffix for static libraries because both |
| static libraries and import libraries have the suffix `.lib`. |
| |
| There is now an option `namingscheme` that can be set to |
| `platform`. This new platform native naming scheme that replicates |
| what Rust does. That is, shared libraries on Windows get a suffix |
| `.dll`, static libraries get `.lib` and import libraries have the name |
| `.dll.lib`. |
| |
| We expect to change the default value of this option to `platform` in |
| a future major version. Until that happens we reserve the right to |
| alter how `platform` actually names its output files. |
