+ 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).

+
+ Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
+ The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
+ target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
+ $required.
+ * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
+ * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
+ From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+ Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
+ * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
+ instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
+ * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
+ white spaces. Do not create usless dummy source file `foo.c'
+ and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
+ (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
+ * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
+ * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister
+ of `confh7.test'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+ Prompted by a report from Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+ Remove useless whitespace padding in XFAIL_TESTS definition.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove whitespace padding.

+
+ parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new
+ substitution %MAKEFILE%.
+ (generate_makefile): Adjust.
+ * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
+ sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
+ input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
+ w32 (MSYS).
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
+
+ Posix 2008 requires make to set errexit.
+ * lib/am/check.am: Update comment.
+

+
+ Fix bug in test missing6.test.
+ * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
+ to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
+ that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
+ changes.
+
+2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
+ * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
+ $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
+ (error): New function.
+ (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
+ in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.
+ * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix potential regressions in depcomp{3,5}.test.
+ * tests/depcomp3.test: Do not uselessly escape the character `$'
+ in makefile rules, when it's used to expand a make macro.
+ * tests/depcomp5.test: Likewise.

+
+ Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
+ automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
+ the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
+ to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
+
+ Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
+ * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
+
+2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ Don't hide the table of contents.
+ * doc/automake.texi: Move the table of contents to the beginning.

+
+ Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests.
+ * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
+ output.
+ * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'
+ command.
+ * tests/acloca19.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/aclocal5.test: Add trailing `:' command, and prefer
+ `$me' over hard-coded test name.
+ * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
+ some grepping slighty stricter.
+ * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
+ `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
+
+2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.

+ `configure.in' stub created by ./defs, rather than writing it
+ from scratch.
+ * tests/pr204.test: Likewise, plus cosmetic spacing changes.
+ * tests/pr287.test: Likewise, and move setting of `errexit' shell
+ flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).

+ Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
+ * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
+ in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
+ `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
+ in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
+ `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
+ scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
+ README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
+ * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
+ changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
+ * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obolescent constructs in
+ the generated `configure.in', and extend existing checks over the
+ generated tarball a bit.
+ * tests/pr87.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
+ changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
+ files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
+ automake in foreign mode anyway.
+ * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obolescent constructs in the generated
+ `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
+ and add a "FIXME" comment.
+ * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
+ `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
+ * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obolescent constructs in the generated
+ `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
+ ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
+ shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of Makefile.in
+ stricter.
+ * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
+ in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
+ dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
+ command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.
+
+ Tests for PR: add excerpts from original bug report, for clarity.

+ Tweak, extend and improve tests `cond[a-z]*.test'.
+ * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in
+ comment.
+ * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
+ not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
+ Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
+ inverted semantic.
+ * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.
+ Prefer trailing `:' command over trailing `Exit 0'.
+ * tests/condman2.test: Enable errexit shell flag, and related
+ changes. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/condman.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless
+ dummy manpages, and use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.
+ * tests/condman3.test: New test, similar to condman.test, but
+ it also runs ./configure and "make install", and check the
+ installed files.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test.
* tests/colon.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
