New in 1.11.0a:
+* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
+
+ - The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be removed in
+ the next major Automake release (1.12).
+
* Miscellaneous changes:
- The `lzma' compression scheme and associated automake option `dist-lzma'
- The `compile' script now converts some options for MSVC for a better
user experience. Similarly, the new `ar-lib' script wraps Microsoft lib.
+ - A developer that needs to pass specific flags to configure at "make
+ distcheck" time can now, and indeed he's advised to, do so by defining
+ the developer-reserved makefile variable AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS,
+ instead of the old DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS.
+ The DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable should now be reserved for the
+ user; still, the old Makefile.am files that used to define it should
+ still continue to work as before.
+
Bugs fixed in 1.11.0a:
* Bugs introduced by 1.11:
- The `parallel-tests' test driver works around a GNU make 3.80 bug with
- trailing white space in the test list (`TESTS = foo $(EMPTY)').
+ trailing white space in the test list (`TESTS = foo $(EMPTY)'), and
+ does not report spurious successes when used with concurrent FreeBSD
+ make (e.g., "make check -j3").
- The `silent-rules' option now also silences all compile rules if dependency
tracking is disabled. Also, when `silent-rules' is not used, the output from
* Long standing bugs:
+ - Automake now warns about more primary/directory invalid combinations,
+ such as "doc_LIBRARIES" or "pkglib_PROGRAMS".
+
- On Darwin 9, `pythondir' and `pyexecdir' pointed below `/Library/Python'
even if the `--prefix' argument pointed outside of a system directory.
AM_PATH_PYTHON has been fixed to ignore the value returned from python's
- The order of Yacc and Lex flags is fixed to be consistent with other
languages: $(AM_YFLAGS) comes before $(YFLAGS), and $(AM_LFLAGS) before
$(LFLAGS), so that the user variables override the developer variables.
+
+ - Rules generated by Automake now try harder to not change any files when
+ `make -n' is invoked. Fixes include compilation of Emacs Lisp, Vala, or
+ Yacc source files and the rule to update config.h.
+
+ - The code for automatic dependency tracking works around a Solaris
+ make bug triggered by sources containing repeated slashes when the
+ `subdir-objects' option was used.
+
+ - The parallel-tests driver now does not produce erroneous results
+ with Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh upon unreadable log files any more.
+
+ - The makedepend and hp depmodes now works better with VPATH builds.
+
+ - Java sources specified with check_JAVA are not compiled anymore upon
+ "make all", but only upon "make check".
+
+ - Now aclocal and automake, when they've to spawn autoconf or autom4te
+ processes, honour the configure-time definitions of AUTOCONF and
+ AUTOM4TE.
