Binutils 2.46 branch re-enables development
Development is re-enabled on the Binutils 2.46 branch by setting the `development` flag to true in the `development.sh` script.
The development flag in the bfd/development.sh script has been switched from false to true. This action re-enables development mode features on the Binutils 2.46 branch. This change signals that active work and testing of new features are ongoing for this particular release branch.
In Details
The bfd/development.sh script controls internal development-mode features within the Binutils project. Setting the development variable to true activates these features, often enabling additional logging, debugging checks, or experimental code paths that are not typically active in stable release builds. This change specifically targets the binutils-2_46-branch, indicating that it is moving from a maintenance-only state back into active development for minor releases or patches.
For Context
Software projects like Binutils often have internal switches to enable or disable features that are only relevant during development. This commit turns on such a switch for the 2.46 branch of Binutils, indicating that developers are actively working on this version again, likely for adding new features or making significant improvements. This is important for new releases or patches on this branch, and it suggests that developers should be aware that it is no longer only in a maintenance phase.
