+
+ Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
+ * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
+ make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
+ it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
+ * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
+
+ 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
+ * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
+ expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
+ to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
+ %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
+ * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
+ `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
+ (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
+ set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
+ * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
+ verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
+ dependencies are enabled.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
+ also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
+ * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
+ dependency tracking.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+ Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
+
+2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
+ * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
+ unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
+ Makefile.in slighty stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
+ the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
+
+2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
+ * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
+ than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
+ double-quotes and backquotes.
+ * THANKS: Update.
+ Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
+
+2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
+ Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
+ autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
+ and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
+ required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
+ eliminate such inconsistencies.
+ * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
+ Use it throughout.
+
+2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
+ * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
+ not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
+
+ Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
+ * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
+ Require GNU make.
+
+2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
+ * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
+ an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
+
+ Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
+ * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
+ unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
+
+ * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
+ instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
+ since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
+ if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
+
+2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix typo in manual.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
+ missing closing parenthesis.
+
+ Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
+ * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
+ macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
+
+2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
+ * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
+ too.
+
+2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
+ * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
+ tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
+ tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
+ grepping it.
+
+2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
+ * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
+ an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
+ was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
+ Also, bumped the copyright years.
+
+ Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
+ * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
+ an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
+
+ Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
+ * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
+ changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
+ Also, bumped copyright years.
+
+2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
+ $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
+ have been parsed.
+ (require_variables): Initialize it here.
+ * tests/configure.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ Report by Stefano Lattarini.
+
+2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
+ * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
+ copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
+ in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
+ a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
+ cause the whole test to fail.
+
+2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
+ @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
+
+2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
+ * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
+ * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
+
+2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
+ * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
+
+ Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
+ * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
+ test description.
+
+2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
+ Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
+ Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
+ treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
+ and unstable exit status values.
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
+ (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
+ $warnings_are_errors.
+ * tests/werror3.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+
+2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
+ * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
+ `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
+ that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
+
+ Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
+ * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
+ succeds unexpectedly.
+
+ Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
+ * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
+ Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+ Report by Pavel Sanda.
+
+2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
+ * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
+ in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
+ and readonly).
+
+ Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
+ * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
+ $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
+ symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
+ distdir.am.
+
+2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
+ Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
+ Suggested by Karl Berry.
+
+2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
+
+ GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
+ change.
+
+2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
+ * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
+ lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
+ lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
+ m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
+
+2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
+ * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
+ `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
+ variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
+ (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
+ (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
+ ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
+ adjusted.
+ * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
+ scripts adjusted.
+ * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
+ then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
+ * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise.

+ Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
+ behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
+ * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
+
+2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
+ * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
+ already unset in the `defs' file.
+ * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

+
+2010-02-22 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
+
+ Improve help message of mdate-sh.
+ * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
+
+2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
+ * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
+ Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
+
+2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
+ * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
+ in EXTRA_DIST.
+ * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
+ wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
+ * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in

+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
+ Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel
+ and Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-02-08 Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org>
+
+ Fix copyright statement in gnupload script.
+ * lib/gnupload: Fix copyright statement.

+2010-02-06 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org> (tiny change)
+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
+ The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
