+ninja-loosen-object-deps
+------------------------
+
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator has loosened dependencies on object
+ compilation to depend on the custom targets and commands of dependent
+ libraries instead of the libraries themselves. This helps projects with deep
+ dependency graphs to be blocked only on their link steps at the deeper
+ levels rather than also blocking object compilation on dependent link steps.
