-New in 1.2f:
+New in 1.5d:
+* Autoconf 2.52 is required.
+* `dist' generates all the archive flavors, as did `dist-all'.
+* `dist-gzip' generates the Gzip tar file only.
+* Combining Automake Makefile conditionals no longer lead to a combinatorial
+ explosion. Makefile.in's keep a reasonable size.
+* AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_STRTOD, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_PTRDIFF_T
+ are no longer shipped, since Autoconf 2.52 provides them (both as AM_
+ and AC_).
+* `#line' of Lex and Yacc files are properly set.
+* EXTRA_DIST can contain generated directories.
+* Support for dot-less extensions in suffix rules.
+* The part of the distcheck target that checks whether distclean actually
+ cleans all built files has been moved in a separate target, distcleancheck,
+ so it can be overridden easily.
+* `make distcheck' will pass additional options defined in
+ $(DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to configure.
+* Fixed CDPATH portability problems, in particular for MacOS X.
+* Fixed handling of nobase_ targets.
+* Fixed support of implicit rules leading to .lo objects.
+* Fixed late inclusion of --add-missing files (e.g. depcomp) in DIST_COMMON
+* Added uninstall-hook target
+* `AC_INIT AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(tarname,version)' is an obsolete construct.
+ You can now use `AC_INIT(pkgname,version) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' instead.
+ (Note that "pkgname" is not "tarname", see the manual for details.)
+ It is also possible to pass a list of global Automake options as
+ first argument to this new form of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
+* Compiler-based assembler is now called `CCAS'; people expected `AS'
+ to be a real assembler.
+* AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE will set STRIP itself when it needs it. Adding
+ AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP], [strip]) manually is no longer required.
+* aclocal and automake are also installed with the version number
+ appended, and some of the install directory names have changed.
+ This lets you have multiple versions installed simultaneously.
+\f
+New in 1.5:
+* Support for `configure.ac'.
+* Support for `else COND', `endif COND' and negated conditions `!COND'.
+* `make dist-all' is much faster.
+* Allows '@' AC_SUBSTs in macro names.
+* Faster AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (requires update of `missing' script)
+* User-side dependency tracking. Developers no longer need GNU make
+* Python support
+* Uses DIST_SUBDIRS in some situations when SUBDIRS is conditional
+* Most files are correctly handled if they appear in subdirs
+ For instance, a _DATA file can appear in a subdir
+* GNU tar is no longer required for `make dist'
+* Added support for `dist_' and `nodist_' prefixes
+* Added support for `nobase_' prefix
+* Compiled Java support
+* Support for per-executable and per-library compilation flags
+* Many bug fixes
+\f
+New in 1.4:
+* Added support for the Fortran 77 programming language.
+* Re-indexed the Automake Texinfo manual.
+* Added `AM_FOOFLAGS' variable for each compiler invocation;
+ e.g. AM_CFLAGS can be used in Makefile.am to set C compiler flags
+* Support for latest autoconf, including support for objext
+* Can now put `.' in SUBDIRS to control build order
+* `include' command and `+=' support for macro assignment
+* Dependency tracking no long susceptible to deleted header file problem
+* Maintainer mode now a conditional. @MAINT@ is now an anachronism.
+* Bug fixes
+\f
+New in 1.3:
* Bug fixes
* Better Cygwin32 support
* Support for suffix rules with _SOURCES variables
* New options `readme-alpha' and `check-news'; Gnits mode sets these
* @LEXLIB@ no longer required when lex source seen
+ Lex support in `missing', and new lex macro. Update your missing script.
* Built-in support for assembly
* aclocal gives error if `AM_' macro not found
-* Passed YFLAGS, not YACCFLAGS, to yacc
+* Passed YFLAGS, not YACCFLAGS, to yacc
* AM_PROG_CC_STDC does not have to come before AC_PROG_CPP
* Dependencies computed as a side effect of compilation
* Preliminary support for Java
+* DESTDIR support at "make install" time
+* Improved ansi2knr support; you must use the latest ansi2knr.c (included)
\f
New in 1.2:
* Bug fixes
* No longer uses double-colon rules
* Bug fixes
* Changes in advance of internationalization
