testsuite harness will still be available through the use of the
'serial-tests' option (introduced in Automake 1.12).
+ - The 'color-tests' option is now unconditionally activated by default.
+ In particular, this means that testsuite output is now colorized by
+ default if the attached terminal seems to support ANSI escapes, and
+ that the user can force output colorization by setting the variable
+ AM_COLOR_TESTS to "always". The 'color-tests' is still recognized
+ for backward-compatibility, although it's a handled as a no-op now.
+
* Silent rules support:
- Support for silent rules is now always active in Automake-generated
* Texinfo Support:
- The rules to build PDF and DVI files from Texinfo input now use the
- ' --build-dir' option, to keep the auxiliary files used by texi2dvi
+ '--build-dir' option, to keep the auxiliary files used by texi2dvi
and texi2pdf around without cluttering the build directory, and to
make it possible to run the "dvi" and "pdf" recipes in parallel.
* Recursive targets:
- The user can now define his own recursive targets that recurse
- in the directories specified in $(SUBDIRS). This can be done by
- specifying the name of such targets in invocations of the new
- 'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' m4 macro.
+ - The user can now define his own recursive targets that recurse
+ in the directories specified in $(SUBDIRS). This can be done by
+ specifying the name of such targets in invocations of the new
+ 'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' m4 macro.
+
+ - Any failure in the recipe of the "tags", "ctags", "cscope" or
+ "cscopelist" targets in a subdirectory is now propagated to the
+ top-level make invocation.
* Improvements to aclocal and related rebuilds rules:
giving more useful warnings than a bare "command not found" from a
make recipe would.
-* Automake Testsuite:
+* Miscellaneous changes:
+
+ - The '.m4' files provided by Automake does not define serial numbers
+ anymore. This should cause no difference in the behaviour of aclocal
+ though.
- Some testsuite weaknesses and spurious failures have been fixed.
+Bugs fixed in 1.12.3:
+
+* Long-standing bugs:
+
+ - Instead of renaming only self-references of files (typically for
+ #lines), ylwrap now also renames references to the other generated
+ files. This fixes support for GLR and C++ parsers from Bison (PR
+ automake/491 and automake bug#7648): 'parser.c' now properly
+ #includes 'parser.h' instead of 'y.tab.h'.
+
+ - Generated files unknown to ylwrap are now preserved. This fixes
+ C++ support for Bison (automake bug#7648): location.hh and the
+ like are no longer discarded.
