[Nico Weber]

Evan tagged a new release of Ninja, version v1.4.0.

== Release notes

This is mostly a bugfix release.

This release updates the depsmode file format. Ninja will do a full rebuild of your project if you are using deps mode.

Features:

- New "deps" tool to dump the depslog.

- New "recompact" tool to force recompaction of buildlog and depslog.

- New "keeprsp" debug mode.

- depsmode supports files with up to 128k deps per file (increased from 8k).

Bug fixes:

- "browse" tool works again.

- depsmode is much more robust

- Errors writing to deps and build log are no longer silently ignored.

- Fixed several unaligned reads.

- Improved handling of utf16 output on windows.

- Print "no work to do" when only phony edges run during a build.

- Restat edges with more than one output are now handled correctly.

- Restat no longer cleans nodes with dirty depfiles.

- Ninja should now build on Bitrig and OS X Mavericks.
