* Obsolete features removed:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ - Support for the "Cygnus-style" trees (once enabled by the 'cygnus'
+ option) has been removed. See discussion about automake bug#11034
+ for more background.
+
+ - The automake-provided $(mkdir_p) make variable, @mkdir_p@ configure
+ time substitution and AM_PROG_MKDIR m4 macro have been removed. They
+ had been obsolete since automake 1.10, and actively deprecated since
+ Automake 1.12.1.
-New in 1.12.1:
+ - The deprecated aclocal option '--acdir' has been removed. You
+ should use the options '--automake-acdir' and '--system-acdir'
+ instead (which have been introduced in Automake 1.11.2).
-* Deprecated obsolescent features:
+ - The following long-obsolete m4 macros have been removed:
- - Support for the "Cygnus-style" trees (enabled by the 'cygnus' option) is
- now deprecated (its use triggers a warning in the 'obsolete' category).
- It will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.13).
