* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
long-deprecated 'configure.in' name for the Autoconf input file.
You are advised to use the recommended name 'configure.ac' instead.
+ - The long-obsolete (since automake 1.10) AM_PROG_MKDIR m4 macro will
+ be removed in Automake 1.13. The $(mkdir_p) make variable and the
+ @mkdir_p@ substitution will still remain available (as aliases of
+ $(MKDIR_P)) for the moment, for better backward compatibility.

- Autoconf 2.65 or later will be required by the next major Automake
version (1.13). Until now, Automake has required Autoconf version
2.62 or later.
giving more useful warnings than a bare "command not found" from a
make recipe would.
+* M4 files:
+
+ - The '.m4' files provided by Automake does not define serial numbers
+ anymore. This should cause no difference in the behaviour of aclocal
+ though.
+
+* Automake Testsuite:
+
+ - Some testsuite weaknesses and spurious failures have been fixed.
+
+* Long-standing bugs:
+
+ - Instead of renaming only self-references of files (typically for
+ #lines), ylwrap now also renames references to the other generated
+ files. This fixes support for GLR and C++ parsers from Bison (PR
+ automake/491 and automake bug#7648): 'parser.c' now properly
+ #includes 'parser.h' instead of 'y.tab.h'.
+
+ - Generated files unknown to ylwrap are now preserved. This fixes
+ C++ support for Bison (automake bug#7648): location.hh and the
+ like are no longer discarded.

* Warnings and deprecations:
- Automake now issues a warning (in the 'portability' category) if
* SECURITY VULNERABILITIES!
- - The recipe of the 'distcheck' no longer grants anymore temporary
- world-wide write permissions on the extracted distdir. Even if such
- rights were only granted for a vanishingly small time window, the
- implied race condition proved to be enough to allow a local attacker
- to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running "make
- distcheck". This is CVE-2012-3386.

* Long-standing bugs:
compilation fails, it will still be rerun by further "make recheck"
invocations. See automake bug#11791.
+* Bugs introduced by 1.12.1:
+
+ - Automake provides once again the '$(mkdir_p)' make variable and the
+ '@mkdir_p@' substitution (both as simple aliases for '$(MKDIR_P)'),
+ for better backward-compatibility.
