 Bugs fixed in 1.11.2:
+  - For programs and libraries, automake now detects EXTRA_foo_DEPENDENCIES
+    and adds them to the normal list of dependencies, but without
+    overwriting the foo_DEPENDENCIES variable, which is normally computed
+    by automake.
+
+  - The 'ar-lib' script now ignores the "s" (symbol index) and "S" (no
+    symbol index) modifiers as well as the "s" action, as the symbol index
+    is created unconditionally by Microsoft lib.  Also, the "q" (quick)
+    action is now a synonym for "r" (replace).  Also, the script has been
+    ignoring the "v" (verbose) modifier already since Automake 1.11.3.
+
+  - When the 'compile' script is used to wrap MSVC, it now accepts an
+    optional space between the -I, -L and -l options and their respective
+    arguments, for better POSIX compliance.
+
+  - If "aclocal --install" is used, and the first directory specified with
+    '-I' is non-existent, aclocal will now create it before trying to copy
+    files in it.

   - 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.
+  - An empty declaration of a "foo_PRIMARY" don't cause anymore the
+    generated install rules to create an empty $(foodir) directory;
+    for example, if Makefile.am contains something like:
+
+      pkglibexec_SCRIPTS =
+      if FALSE
+      pkglibexec_SCRIPTS += bar.sh
+      endif
+
+    the $(pkglibexec) directory will not be created upon "make install".
+
+  - It is now possible for a foo_SOURCES variable to hold Vala sources
+    together with C header files, as well as with sources and headers for
+    other supported languages (e.g., C++).  Previously, only mixing C and
+    Vala sources was supported.
+
+  - Vala support now works better in VPATH setups.
+
+  - The "deleted header file problem" for *.am files is avoided by stub
+    rules.  This allows `make' to trigger a rerun of `automake' also if
+    some previously needed `.am' file has been removed.
 
   - "make distcheck" now correctly complains also when "make uninstall"
     leaves one and only one file installed in $(prefix).
