- The parallel testsuite is no longer reported as "experimental"; it
is well tested, ans should be stable now.
-
+ - The 'shar' and 'tarZ' distribution formats and the 'dist-shar' and
+ 'dist-tarZ' options are obsolescent, and their use is deprecated
+ in the documentation.
+
+ - Other minor miscellaneous fixes and improvements; in particular,
+ some improvements in cross-references.
+
+* Obsolescent features:
+
+ - Use of suffix-less info files (that can be specified through the
+ '@setfilename' macro in Texinfo input files) is discouraged, and
+ its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete' category. Simply
+ use the '.info' extension for all your info files, transforming
+ usages like:
+
+ @setfilename myprogram
+
+ into:
+
+ @setfilename myprogram.info
+
+ - Use of Texinfo input files with '.txi' or '.texinfo' extensions
+ is discouraged, and its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete'
+ category. You are advised to simply use the '.texi' extension
+ instead.
+
* Bugs fixed:
- The obsolete macros AM_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_PROG_CC_STDC work once
