+New in 1.11a:
+
+* Changes to automake:
+
+ - automake now generates silenced rules for texinfo outputs.
+
+* New targets:
+
+ - New `cscope' target to build a cscope database for the source tree.
* Miscellaneous changes:
+ - The `dist' and `dist-all' targets now can run compressors in parallel.
+
- The `lzma' compression scheme and associated automake option `dist-lzma'
is obsoleted by `xz' and `dist-xz' due to upstream changes.
+ - "make dist" can now create lzip-compressed tarballs.
+
+ - Messages of types warning or error from `automake' and `aclocal' are now
+ prefixed with the respective type, and presence of -Werror is noted.
+
- The `compile' script now converts some options for MSVC for a better
user experience. Similarly, the new `ar-lib' script wraps Microsoft lib.
-Bugs fixed in 1.11.0a:
+Bugs fixed in 1.11a:
+
+ - Lots of minor bugfixes.
* Bugs introduced by 1.11:
- AM_PROG_GCJ uses AC_CHECK_TOOLS to look for `gcj' now, so that prefixed
tools are preferred in a cross-compile setup.
+ - The distribution is tarred up with mode 755 now by the `dist*' targets.
+ This fixes a race condition where untrusted users could modify files
+ in the $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) distdir before packing if the toplevel
+ build directory was world-searchable. This is CVE-2009-4029.
+
- Several scripts as well as the parallel-tests testsuite driver now
exit with the right exit status upon receiving a signal.
