From 99dc7acd670f31595dae28ff0a3970e5b484e1e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Lattarini Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:43:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] news: Automake 1.13 will require Autoconf >= 2.65 Autoconf 2.65 is almost three years old now, so requiring it is acceptable. Also, the soon-to-appear support for Objective C++ in Automake will be simplified if we can assume that Autoconf version (which is the one that introduced support for Objective C++). * NEWS (Planned future backward-incompatibilities): Automake 1.13 will require Autoconf 2.65 or later.
