+ test defs: hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs
++ * tests/defs-static.in ($AUTOCONF): Add a dummy `-B' option to the
++ autoconf invocation, so that, when the Debian autoconf wrapper is
++ involved, it will correctly dispatch an autoconf >= 2.50 instead of
++ defaulting to autoconf 2.13.
+ ($AUTOHEADER, $AUTORECONF): Likewise, but for autoheader and
+ autoreconf respectively.

+
+ tests: fix a minor spurious failure with FreeBSD make
+ * tests/remake-am-pr10111.test: Avoid using `#' comments in
+ makefile recipes, as these have been confusing FreeBSD make.
+ The failure was masked by the fact that this test is currently
+ expected to fail.
+ Suggested by a report from Bruno Haible.
+
+ 2011-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: make two test scripts executable
+ * tests/remake-am-pr10111.test: Make executable.
+ * tests/remake-m4-pr10111.test: Likewise.
+
+ 2011-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ readme: reference webpages for automake mailing lists
+ * README: Rationalize and reorganize the (brief) description of
+ the automake mailing lists. In particular, instead of suggesting
+ the reader to write to the `-request' addresses to subscribe to
+ mailing lists, point him to the relevant webpages, where he can
+ also subscribe via a web form.
+
+ 2011-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ readme: update advice about testsuite execution
+ * README: Now that the automake testsuite uses the parallel-tests
+ driver, there is no need for the user to capture the stdout of
+ "make check" to determine which tests have failed: a detailed log
+ is automatically saved into the `tests/test-suite.log' file.
+ Since we are at it, improve the wording by dropping an extra
+ "please".
+
+ 2011-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ readme: don't reference the old homepage at sources.redhat.com
+ * README: Don't reference the old homepage at sources.redhat.com,
+ which is no longer active; reference the homepage on www.gnu.org
+ instead. See also automake bug#10157 and bug#10248.
+ * tests/README: Likewise, and remove related extra-pedantic advice
+ about copyright papers for test cases (we'll ask for those papers
+ explicitly when we think they are warranted).
+
+ 2011-12-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ hacking: some more fixlets
+ * HACKING (Release Procedure): Place the list of pre-release
+ bootstrap-and-test commands on a line of its own, so it's easy to
+ select and then paste it into a terminal window.
+ Fix the explanation of "make git-release", as, since the previous
+ change, "make git-release" would simply run "make dist" rather
+ than "make distcheck".
+ Suggestion from Jim Meyering.
+
+ 2011-12-12 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+ * NEWS: Fix typo in 'make dist-bzip2' description.
+
+ 2011-12-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ release: don't run "make distcheck" automatically
+ * Makefile.am (git-dist): The developers should test extensively
+ before finally creating the release tarball; so don't run "make
+ distcheck" on their behalf here; instead ...
+ * HACKING (Release procedure): ... state here that "make check"
+ and "make distcheck" should be run before calling "make git-dist".

- You may adjust the compression options used in dist-xz and dist-bzip2.
The default is now merely -e for xz, but still -9 for bzip; you may
specify a different level via the XZ_OPT and BZIP2 envvars respectively.
- E.g., "make dist-xz XZ_OPT=-7" or "make dist-xz BZIP2=-5"
+ E.g., "make dist-xz XZ_OPT=-7" or "make dist-bzip2 BZIP2=-5"
+ - Messages of types warning or error from `automake' and `aclocal' are now
+ prefixed with the respective type, and presence of -Werror is noted.
+
+ - The `compile' script now converts some options for MSVC for a better
+ user experience. Similarly, the new `ar-lib' script wraps Microsoft lib.
+
+ - Automake's early configure-time sanity check now tries to avoid sleeping
+ for a second, which slowed down cached configure runs noticeably. In that
+ case, it will check back at the end of the configure script to ensure that
+ at least one second has passed, to avoid time stamp issues with makefile
+ rules rerunning autotools programs.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - C source and header files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources are
+ now removed by "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
+
+ - The `compile' script now converts some options for MSVC for a better
+ user experience. Similarly, the new `ar-lib' script wraps Microsoft lib.
+
- The py-compile script now accepts empty arguments passed to the options
`--destdir' and `--basedir', and complains about unrecognized options.
Moreover, a non-option argument or a special `--' argument terminates
