+ 
+ 	tests: avoid spurious failure of libtool and gettext tests
+ 
+ 	On Solaris 10 (and presumably earlier), /bin/sh trips up on
+ 	here-documents that contains a command substitution *and* are
+ 	fed to a shell function:
+ 
+ 	  # All as expected.
+ 	  $ cat <<END
+ 	  `pwd`
+ 	  END
+ 	  /home/stefano
+ 	  $ echo status = $?
+ 	  status = 0
+ 
+ 	  # An apparently innocuous function ...
+ 	  $ kitty () { cat; }
+ 	  # ... but hilarity ensues!
+ 	  $ kitty <<END
+ 	  `pwd`
+ 	  END
+ 	  /tmp/sh137723: cannot open
+ 	  $ echo status = $?
+ 	  status = 1
+ 
+ 	We need to work around this misbehaviour in a couple of our
+ 	tests (whose failures where causing cascading failures in a
+ 	lot of other tests).
+ 
+ 	* tests/gettext-macros.test: Avoid the use of command substitution
+ 	in a here-document passed to the `indent' function, by using the
+ 	`echo' builtin instead.
+ 	* tests/libtool-macros.test: Likewise.
+ 
+ 	See also:

 +
 +	hacking: distribute it, and mention it in the ChangeLog
 +	Not distributing the HACKING file might make it more difficult,
 +	for some random curious user, to get informed about or interested
 +	in the Automake development process, or to send us patches.
 +	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add HACKING.
 +	* HACKING: It's OK to distribute this file, and to mention it in
 +	the ChangeLog.

 +
 +	regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX
 +	This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee.
 +	Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according
 +	to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has
 +	been "decommissioned".  Consequently, the automake-provided macro
 +	AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore.  Deprecate it, so
 +	that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major
 +	automake version.
 +	* m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class
 +	`obsolete' when this macro is used.
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
 +	`AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
 +	(Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
 +	and "to be removed in a future version".
 +	* tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
 +	* NEWS: Update.
 +	See also:
 +	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00131.html>

 +
 +	maint: distribute .xz tarballs, not .bz2 ones
 +	Many GNU packages are moving towards xz-compressed tarballs, so
 +	let's follow suit, by dropping the creation and distribution of
 +	a bzip2-compressed tarball and switching to xz instead.
 +	For compatibility and safeness, we will continue to create and
 +	distribute a gzip-compressed tarball as well.
 +	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Drop `dist-bzip2', add
 +	`dist-xz'.
 +	* NEWS: Update
 +	Suggested by Jim Meyering.
 +
 +2011-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	include: avoid "deleted .am file" problem
 +	* automake.in (handle_configure): When processing `configure.am',
 +	also expand `HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS' to a boolean telling whether
 +	`MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS' is empty or not.
 +	* lib/am/configure.am [?HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS?]
 +	(%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%): New target without dependencies, to
 +	avoid the "deleted .am file" problem.  Emit this only when
 +	`?HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS?' is true, to avoid generating an
 +	"empty" dependency declaration.
 +	* tests/deleted-am.test: Make grepping of error message stricter.
 +	* tests/dist-missing-am.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/remake-deleted-am.test: New test.
 +	* tests/remake-deleted-am-2.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/remake-deleted-am-subdir.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/remake-renamed-am.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/makefile-deps.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new tests.
 +	* NEWS: Update.
 +	Fixes automake bug#9768.
 +	Report by Peter Johansson.
 +	See also commit `Release-1-10-40-gd0ebf71', which fixed a similar
 +	problem for .m4 files included by configure.ac.
 +
 +2011-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	maint: better use of autoconf 2.68 features
 +	* configure.ac: Now that Automake requires autoconf 2.68 for its
 +	own bootstrapping and build system, we can assume that PACKAGE_URL
 +	gets automatically AC_SUBT'd.
 +
 +2011-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	cosmetics: use proper m4 quoting in configure.ac
 +	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Use proper m4 quoting
 +	for its arguments.
 +	(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Likewise.
 +	(AC_PROG_PATH): Likewise.
