- Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
- * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
- sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
- again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
- script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
- time stamp granularity.
- Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.

-
- tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
- * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
- Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
- a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
- * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
- telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
- describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
- it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
-
- testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
- * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
- name of the current test (used in error messages).
- * THANKS: Update.

+
+ tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
+ * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
+ Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
+ are newer.
+ * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
+ Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
+
+ Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
+ * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
+ start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
+ before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
+ testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.

- manual: fix a trivial grammar error.
- * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Fix grammar.
+ Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
+ This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
+ because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

+
+ Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
+ * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
+ it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
+ and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
+ $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
+ in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+ `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
+ * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+ `--version' take precedence on the other options.
+ * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
+ `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
+ line wins.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+
+ Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
+ directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
+ regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
+ (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
+ `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
+ directories.
+ (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
+ the version control system used.
+
+ Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
+ * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
+ example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
+ the "cvs-dist" one.
+
+ Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
+ git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".

+ lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
+ m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
+ savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to

+ * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
+ `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
+ seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
+ tarballs now).
+
+2010-09-21 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+ compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
+ * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
+ -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
+ dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to
+ link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
+ or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at
+ test case in libtool pass.
+ * tests/compile3.test: Don't trip up if there happens to exist
+ a "foo" library in the library search path.
+ * tests/compile6.test: New test, verifying the library search.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+
+ Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
+ * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
+ that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
+ comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slighty
+ stricter.
+ Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
+ extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).

+2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
+ The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

+ * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.

+ Use AS_HELP_STRING in AM_SILENT_RULES.
+ * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Use `AS_HELP_STRING' to format
+ help message regarding configure options `--enable-silent-rules'
+ and `--disable-silent-rules'. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
+ changes in the related `case' statement (indentation, balancing
+ of parentheses).
* THANKS: Update.
