+
+ yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
+ Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+ files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
+ them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+ simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+ This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+ those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
+ by hand.

+ Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.

+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>

+ or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
+ failures) for earlier Zsh version.
+ * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
+ workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
+ tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.

+
+ Minor improvements to test 'amopts.test'.
+ * tests/amopts.test: Remove botched comment. Make grepping of
+ automake stderr slighty stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
+
+2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ backcompat6.test: avoid comments inside recipe commands.
+ * tests/backcompat6.test: Remove shell comments from makefile rule
+ commands, as they are not portable to (at least) Tru64 make.
+
+2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ man8.test: avoid comments inside recipe commands.
+ * tests/man8.test: Remove shell comments from makefile rule

+2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
+ * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
+ `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations

+
+ Fix spurious failures in tests on AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
+ * tests/auxdir7.test: Do not try to needlessly overwrite the files

+
+2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Make test 'posixsubst-script' portable to MinGW/MSYS.

+ scripts really start with a shebang line, to work around a
+ limitation of 'test -x' on MinGW/MSYS.
+ Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+ Improve comments in tests `posixsubst*.test'.

+
+ docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
+ * doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
+ not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
+ extension module `quaternion.la'.
+
+2010-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ docs: list LTLIBRARIES among Automake primaries
+ * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): List `LTLIBRARIES' among
+ the Automake primaries.

+ XSI-conformance checks in sync with libtool.
+
+2010-12-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Minor cleanups in canon7.test.
+ * tests/canon7.test (_foo_bar_SOURCES): Remove libs.c.
+ (configure.in): Remove AC_PROG_CXX.
+
+2010-12-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Avoid false positive in sc_tests_plain_make maintainer-check.
+ * Makefile.am (sc_tests_plain_make): Ensure to only match full
+ `make' words. Avoid false positive with remake11.test.
+
+2010-12-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix canon7.test failure.
+ * tests/canon7.test (_foo_bar_SOURCES): Add foobar.c.
+ (lib.h, libd.c, libs.c): Use const for constant strings.
+
+2010-12-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix typos in test comments.
+ * tests/posixsubst-data.test, tests/posixsubst-extradist.test,
+ tests/posixsubst-ldadd.test, tests/posixsubst-libraries.test,
+ tests/posixsubst-ltlibraries.test, tests/posixsubst-programs.test,
+ tests/posixsubst-scripts.test, tests/posixsubst-sources.test,
+ tests/posixsubst-tests.test: Fix typos.
+
+2010-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+ Also, bumped all serial numbers of the modified m4 files.
+
+2010-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
+ * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen
+ relaxed to cater for possible line wrapping, and tightened in
+ other respects.
+ * tests/help-depend2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/help-dmalloc.test: Likewise.

+
+2010-12-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Extended tests on AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
+ * tests/auxdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Prefer `$me'
+ over hard-coded test name. Use proper m4 quoting. Add trailing
+ `:' command.
+ * tests/auxdir2.test: Likewise. Try to call automake also with
+ the `-a' option, so that it will not fail for spurious reasons.
+ * tests/auxdir3.test: Add an explanatory comment and a trailing
+ `:' command.
+ * tests/auxdir4.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name.
+ Make grepping of automake stderr slightly stricter. Also, now
+ this test just checks about Automake's reaction to unportable
+ auxiliary directory names (and it has been extended in this
+ respect). Moved the checks about non-existent auxiliary
+ directories to ...
+ * tests/auxdir5.test: ... this new test.
+ * tests/auxdir6.test: New test.
+ * tests/auxdir7.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/auxdir8.test: Likewise.

+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-12-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tests: extend checks on remake rules.
+ This adds proper semantical tests (i.e. run make to check the
+ rebuild rules are correctly triggered) in addition to tentative
+ grepping of the generated Makefile.in(s).
+ * tests/remake.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Modernize `configure.in'. Add trailing `:' command.
+ Improve heading comments, and add a reference to new sister test
+ remake1a.test.
+ * tests/remake3.test: Likewise (but with sister test being
+ remake3a.test).
+ * tests/remake2.test: Improve heading comments. Enable `errexit'
+ shell flag, and related changes. Modernize `configure.in'. Make
+ grepping of `Makefile.in' slightly stricter. Add trailing `:'
+ command.
+ * tests/remake5.test: Also run the `distcheck' target. Add
+ trailing `:' command. Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.
+ * tests/remake4.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name.
+ * tests/remake7.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
+ ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch.
+ * tests/remake6.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:' command,
+ and ensure verbose printing of captured make output.
+ * tests/remake1a.test: New test, sister of remake.test.
+ * tests/remake3a.test: New test, sister of remake3.test.
+ * tests/remake8a.test: New test.

+
+2010-12-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Improve and extend tests on canonicalization.
+ * tests/canon-name.test: Add trailing `:' command. When writing
+ configure.in, prefer to use $me instead of hard-coding the test
+ name.
+ * tests/canon3.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
+ * tests/canon4.test: Likewise. Make grepping of Makefile.in
+ stricter. Improve heading comment, and add reference to ...
+ * tests/canon6.test: ... this new test (sister test of the
+ previous one).
+ * tests/canon.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append
+ text to configure.in. Extend grepping of Automake stderr. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/canon5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/canon7.test: New file, stress test on canonicalization.
+ * tests/canon8.test: New test, for better coverage (check that
+ the `@' character is not transliterated in canonicalizations).
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Updated.
+
+2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Libobj tests: refer to automake bug tracker for limitations.
+ * tests/libobj15b.test (configure.in): In the comment explaining
+ why an apparently redundant AC_OUTPUT is indeed needed, refer
+ to the relevant entry in the Automake bug tracker rather than
+ describing the bug in detail with a FIXME-style comment.
+ * tests/libobj15c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/libobj20b.test: Likewise.
+
+ Libobj tests: do not use `##' automake comments in-line.
+ * tests/libobj19.test (Makefile.am): Do not use inline `##'
+ comments in the definition of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
+ * tests/libobj20c.test: Likewise.
+ Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-12-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix testsuite failure of check12.test without DejaGNU.
+ * tests/check12.test: Require runtest.
+
+2010-12-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tests defs: more uses of $top_testsrcdir.
+ * tests/compile6.test: Use `$top_testsrcdir' instead of
+ `$testsrcdir/..'.
+
+2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tests required tools: also try `-v' option for GNU compilers.
+ * tests/defs.in: In the loop on "$required" tools, for gcc
+ and g++, also run "gcc -v" (resp. "g++ -v"), to get more
+ information, and for consistency with gcj.
+
+2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Tests defs: avoid some useless subshells.
+ * tests/defs: In the loop on "$required" tools: avoid subshells
+ where not needed.
