   - All the "old alias" macros in 'm4/obsolete.m4' have been removed.
 
+* Silent rules support:
+
+  - Support for silent rules is now always active in Automake-generated
+    Makefiles.  So, although the verbose output is still the default,
+    the user can now always use "./configure --enable-silent-rules" or
+    "make V=0" to enable quieter output in the package he's building.
+
+  - The 'silent-rules' option has now become a no-op, preserved for
+    backward-compatibility only.  In particular, its use does not disable
+    the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category anymore.
