+* Tue Mar 1 2016 Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan@club.fr> - 0.4.3-5
+- Automate generation of library symlinks, and include them in the package instead of
+  in %%post so that dependencies on specific library versions are detected.
+
 * Fri Feb 26 2016 Suvayu Ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@gmail.com> - 0.4.3-4
 - Fix broken symlinks in libdir
