- Use of the long-deprecated two- and three-arguments invocation forms
of the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro now elicits a warning in the 'obsolete'
category. Starting from some future major Automake release (likely
- post-1.13), such usages will be no longer allowed.
+ post-1.13), such usages will no longer be allowed.
- Support for the "Cygnus-style" trees (enabled by the 'cygnus' option) is
now deprecated (its use triggers a warning in the 'obsolete' category).
* Miscellaneous changes:
- The Automake test cases now require a proper POSIX-conforming shell.
- Older non-POSIX Bourne shells (like Solaris 10 /bin/sh) will be no
- longer accepted. In most cases, the user shouldn't have to specify
- such POSIX shell explicitly, since it will be looked up at configure
- time. Still, when this lookup fails, or when the user wants to
- override its conclusion, the variable 'AM_TEST_RUNNER_SHELL' can be
- used (pointing to the shell that will be used to run the Automake
- test cases).

Bugs fixed in 1.12.1:
- Automake now correctly recognizes the prefix/primary combination
'pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as valid.
- - The parallel-tests harness now doesn't trip on sed implementations
+ - The parallel-tests harness no longer trips on sed implementations
with stricter limits on the length of input lines (problem seen at
least on Solaris 8).
