- The last relics of Python 1.5 support have been removed from the
AM_PATH_PYTHON macro.
+ - For programs and libraries, automake now detects EXTRA_foo_DEPENDENCIES
+ and adds them to the normal list of dependencies, but without
+ overwriting the foo_DEPENDENCIES variable, which is normally computed
+ by automake.
+
+Bugs fixed in 1.11.2a:
+
+* Bugs introduced by 1.11.2:
+
+ - Automake now correctly recognizes the prefix/primary combination
+ `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as valid.
+
++ - The parallel-tests harness doesn't trip anymore on sed implementations
++ with stricter limits on the length of input lines (problem seen at
++ least on Solaris 8).
++
+* Long-standing bugs:
+
+ - The "deleted header file problem" for *.am files is avoided by stub
+ rules. This allows `make' to trigger a rerun of `automake' also if
+ some previously needed `.am' file has been removed.
+
+ - The `silent-rules' option now generates working makefiles even
+ for the uncommon `make' implementations that do not support the
+ nested-variables extension to POSIX 2008. For such `make'
+ implementations, whether a build is silent is determined at
+ configure time, and cannot be overridden at make time with
+ `make V=0' or `make V=1'.
+
+\f
+New in 1.11.2:
+
+* Changes to aclocal:
+
+ - The `--acdir' option is deprecated. Now you should use the new options
+ `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir' instead.
+
+ - The `ACLOCAL_PATH' environment variable is now interpreted as a
+ colon-separated list of additional directories to search after the
+ automake internal acdir (by default ${prefix}/share/aclocal-APIVERSION)
+ and before the system acdir (by default ${prefix}/share/aclocal).
+
+* Miscellaneous changes:
+
+ - The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication has been
+ deprecated. I will probably be removed in the next major Automake
+ release (1.12).
+
- The `lzma' compression scheme and associated automake option `dist-lzma'
is obsoleted by `xz' and `dist-xz' due to upstream changes.
