### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * On build targets where the multilib postfix is set in the build
+ configuration the libdir directory was changing based on whether
+ the lib directory with the multilib postfix exists on the system
+ or not. This unpredictable behavior was removed and eventual
+ multilib postfix is now always added to the default libdir. Use
+ `--libdir=lib` to override the libdir if adding the postfix is
+ undesirable.
+
+ *Jan Lána*
+
* The ERR_GET_FUNC() function was removed. With the loss of meaningful
function codes, this function can only cause problems for calling
applications.
