BFD's `version.h` automatically updates its BFD_VERSION_DATE.
Binutils BFD's version header now automatically updates its date to reflect the latest build or commit.
This commit updates the BFD_VERSION_DATE macro in Binutils BFD’s version.h file. This change is part of an automated process to keep the internal versioning consistent with the current development date, ensuring that generated libraries and tools reflect up-to-date information. It is a routine maintenance update for the build system.
In Details
The BFD_VERSION_DATE macro in bfd/version.h serves as an internal timestamp for the Binutils BFD library. This commit reflects an automated update to this macro, synchronizing the internal version date with the most recent development activity. Such updates are typically handled by build automation scripts, ensuring that distributed binaries and debugging information accurately reflect their build freshness, particularly for development branch snapshots.
For Context
Software projects often use version numbers and dates to keep track of their development. This commit simply updates an internal date in the Binutils project's 'Binary File Descriptor' (BFD) library. This date, specified as BFD_VERSION_DATE in a header file, helps developers know when a particular version of the BFD library was built or last updated. It's an automated process that ensures the version information is always current with the project's ongoing development.
