  * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
  
+   - The support for ".log -> .html" conversion and the check-html and
+     recheck-html targets will be removed in the next major Automake
+     release (1.12).
+ 
 +  - The obsolescent AM_WITH_REGEX  macro has been deprecated (since the
 +    GNU rx library has been decommissioned), and will be removed in the
 +    next major Automake release (1.12).
 +
    - The `lzma' compression format for distribution archives has been
      deprecated in favor of `xz' and `lzip', and will be removed in the
