+ When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
+ defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
+ in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
+ version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
+ suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
+ with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
+ * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
+ AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
+ not fail for the wrong reasons.
+ * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
+ works with LT_INIT-based interface.
+ Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

+ tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite
+ Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined
+ in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious,
+ and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't
+ tested at all in a clear and self-contained way.
+ This change should remedy to the situation.
+ * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: New test, check removal of
+ temporary test working directory by `./defs'.
+ * tests/self-check-dir.test: New test, check that tests using
+ `./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it.
+ * tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of
+ failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit
+ trap installed by the `./defs' script.
+ * tests/self-check-is_newest.test: New test, checking the
+ `is_newest' subroutine.
+ * tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets
+ defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it
+ can be overridden from either the shell or the environment.
+ * tests/self-check-sanity.test: New test, check that the sanity
+ checks performed by the `tests/defs' script works correctly.

+
+ tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
+ After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
+ the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
+ all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
+ automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
+ beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
+ share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
+ be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
+ complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
+ * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
+ the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
+ others `instspc-*.test' tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
+ ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
+ (instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
+ * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
+ and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
+ files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
+ When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
+ created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
+ (unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
+ Some other related changes and refactorings.

+
+ yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
+ Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+ files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
+ them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+ simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+ This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+ those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
+ by hand.

+ Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.

+ Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
+ the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
+ For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel

+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
+ This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
+ or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
+ failures) for earlier Zsh version.
+ * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
+ workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
+ tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
+ Done also some minor rewordings.

+ Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
+ * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
+ compiler/flag environment variables.
+
+2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ release-stats: account for more generated tests.
+ * Makefile.am (release-stats): Be sure to take into account all
+ the generated tests, by grepping the test scripts to decide which
+ ones of them are automatically generated.
+
+2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Code cleanup after removal of option `--output-directory'.
+ * automake.in ($output_directory): Remove, it's unconditionally
+ defined to `.' and used only ...
+ (generate_makefile): ... in this subroutine, which now has been
+ edited and simplified accordingly.
+
+ Remove obsolete automake option `--output-directory'.
+ This option has been deprecated since version 1.7 (2002/2003).
+ * automake.in ($output_directory): Define to `.' unconditionally.
+ (parse_arguments): Remove handling of equivalent options `-o' and
+ `--output-directory'.
+ * tests/outdir.test: Removed.
+ * tests/no-outdir-option.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+ * NEWS: Updated.
+
+2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
+ * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
+
+ help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
+ * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
+ didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
+ supposed to perform.
+
+ help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
+ * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
+ `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
+ broken.
+
+2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ New test on repeated automake options.
+ * tests/repeated-options.test: New test, check that automake
+ does not complain on repeated options, nor generate broken or
+ incorrect makefiles.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
+ * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
+ messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
+ avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
+
+2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
+ messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
+ to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
+ very first version of this test script.
+
+2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
+ * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
+ post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
+ of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
+ on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
+ * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
+ Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
+ improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
+ Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
+ * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
+ hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
+ the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
+ not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
+ This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
+ commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
+ tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ backcompat5.test: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
+ * tests/backcompat5.test: Remove double-hash comments
+ from makefile rule commands, they are not part of the
+ Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
+
+ tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
+ * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove

+ are not part of the Automake API.
+
+2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
+ * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
+ pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
+
+2010-11-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+ Skip MSVC oriented tests if the shell is not capable.
+ * tests/defs: New required entry 'xsi-shell'.
+ * tests/ar-lib.test, tests/compile3.test, tests/compile6.test:
+ Require a XSI capable shell.
+ Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-15 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>

+ * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Always print check line
+ about ensuring newer files, even if we don't actually need
+ to wait any more.
+
+2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Rebuild menus in the manual.
+ * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
+ Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
+
+ Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
+ * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
+ separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
+ to fix quoting issues.
+ * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
+
+2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
+ * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
+ Found by NixOS Hydra.
+
+2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
+ * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
+ test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
+ on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
+ Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
+ * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
+ and state that it should be removed two years from now.
+ (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
+ category 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): Update.
