backward-compatibility only. In particular, its use does not disable
the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category anymore.
+* Texinfo Support:
+
+ - The rules to build PDF and DVI files from Texinfo input now use the
+ ' --build-dir' option, to keep the auxiliary files used by texi2dvi
+ and texi2pdf around without cluttering the build directory, and to
+ make it possible to run the "dvi" and "pdf" recipes in parallel.
+
+ * Automatic remake rules and 'missing' script:
+
+ - The 'missing' script does not try anymore to update the timestamp
+ of out-of-date files that require a maintainer-specific tool to be
+ remade, in case the user lacks such a tool (or has a too-old version
+ of it). It just give a useful warning, and in some cases also a tip
+ about how to obtain such a tool.
+
+ - The missing script has thus become useless as a (poor) way to work
+ around the sketched-timestamps issues that can happen for projects
+ that keep generated files committed in their VCS repository. Such
+ projects are now encouraged to write a custom "fix-timestamps.sh"
+ script to avoid such issues; a simple example is provided in the
+ "CVS and generated files" chapter of the automake manual.

New in 1.12.2:
./configure
$MAKE
- test $(grep -c " --run " stdout) -eq 1
+do_check ()
+{
+ $MAKE >stdout || { cat stdout; Exit 1; }
+ cat stdout
++ test $(grep -c "/missing " stdout) -eq 1
+}
+
# Now, we are set up. Ensure that, for either missing Makefile.in,
# or updated Makefile.am, rebuild rules are run, and run exactly once
# only.
