|---|
| 2 | * Fix install-strip to work with nobase_ binaries. | 
|---|
| 3 | * Fix renaming of #line directives in ylwrap. | 
|---|
| 4 | * Rebuild with Autoconf 2.59.  (1.7.8 was not installable with pdksh.) | 
|---|
| 5 |  | 
|---|
| 6 |  | 
|---|
| 7 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.8: | 
|---|
| 8 | * Remove spurious blank lines in cleaning rules introduced in 1.7.7. | 
|---|
| 9 | * Fix detection of Debian's install-info, broken since version 1.5. | 
|---|
| 10 | (Debian bug #213524). | 
|---|
| 11 | * Honor -module if it appears in AM_LDFLAGS (i.e., relax name checking) | 
|---|
| 12 | This was only done for libfoo_LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS in previous versions. | 
|---|
| 13 |  | 
|---|
| 14 |  | 
|---|
| 15 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.7: | 
|---|
| 16 | * The implementation of automake's --no-force option is unreliable, | 
|---|
| 17 | so this option is ignored in this version.  A real fix will appear in | 
|---|
| 18 | Automake 1.8.  (Debian Bug #206299) | 
|---|
| 19 | * AM_PATH_PYTHON: really check the whole list of interpreters if no | 
|---|
| 20 | argument is given.  (PR/399) | 
|---|
| 21 | * Do not warn about leading `_' in variable names, even with -Wportability. | 
|---|
| 22 | * Support user redefinitions of TEXINFO_TEX. | 
|---|
| 23 | * depcomp: support AIX Compiler version 6. | 
|---|
| 24 | * Fix missing rebuilds during `make dist' with BSD make. | 
|---|
| 25 | (Could produce tarballs containing out-of-date files.) | 
|---|
| 26 | * Resurrect multilib support. | 
|---|
| 27 | * Noteworthy manual updates: | 
|---|
| 28 | - Extending aclocal: how to write m4 macros that won't trigger warnings | 
|---|
| 29 | with Automake 1.8. | 
|---|
| 30 | - A Shared Library: Rewrite and split into subsections. | 
|---|
| 31 |  | 
|---|
| 32 |  | 
|---|
| 33 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.6: | 
|---|
| 34 | * Fix depcomp's icc mode for ICC 7.1. | 
|---|
| 35 | * Diagnose calls to AC_CONFIG_FILES and friends with not enough arguments. | 
|---|
| 36 | * Fix maintainer-clean's removal of autom4te.cache in VPATH builds. | 
|---|
| 37 | * Fix AM_PATH_LISPDIR to work with POSIXLY_CORRECT=1. | 
|---|
| 38 | * Fix the location reported in some diagnostics related to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. | 
|---|
| 39 | * Remove Latin-1 characters from elisp-comp. | 
|---|
| 40 | * Update the manual's @dircategory to match the Free Software Directory. | 
|---|
| 41 |  | 
|---|
| 42 |  | 
|---|
| 43 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.5: | 
|---|
| 44 | * Update install-sh's license to remove an advertising clause. | 
|---|
| 45 | (Debian bug #191717) | 
|---|
| 46 | * Fix a bug introduced in 1.7.4, related to BUILT_SOURCE handling, | 
|---|
| 47 | that caused invalid Makefile.ins to be generated. | 
|---|
| 48 | * Make sure AM_MAKE_INCLUDE doesn't fail when a `doit' file exists. | 
|---|
| 49 | * New FAQ entry: renamed objects. | 
|---|
| 50 |  | 
|---|
| 51 |  | 
|---|
| 52 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.4: | 
|---|
| 53 | * Tweak the TAGS rule to support Exuberant Ctags (in addition to | 
|---|
| 54 | the Emacs implementation) | 
|---|
| 55 | * Fix output of aclocal.m4 dependencies in subdirectories. | 
|---|
| 56 | * Use `mv -f' instead of `mv' in fastdep rules. | 
|---|
| 57 | * Upgrade mdate-sh to work on OS/2. | 
|---|
| 58 | * Don't byte-compile elisp files when ELCFILES is set empty. | 
|---|
| 59 | (this documented feature was broken by 1.7.3) | 
|---|
| 60 | * Diagnose trailing backslashes on last line of Makefile.am. | 
|---|
| 61 | * Diagnose whitespace following trailing backslashes. | 
|---|
| 62 | * Multiple tests are now correctly supported in DEJATOOL. (PR/388) | 
|---|
| 63 | * Fix rebuilt rules for AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in:Makefile.bot]) | 
|---|
| 64 | Makefiles. (PR/389) | 
|---|
| 65 | * `make install' will build `BUILT_SOURCES' first. | 
|---|
| 66 | * Minor documentation fixes. | 
|---|
| 67 |  | 
|---|
| 68 |  | 
|---|
| 69 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.3: | 
|---|
| 70 | * Fix stamp files numbering (when using multiple AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). | 
|---|
| 71 | * Query distutils for `pythondir' and `pythonexecdir', instead of | 
|---|
| 72 | using an hardcoded path.  This should allow builds on 64-bit | 
|---|
| 73 | distributions that usually use lib64/ instead of lib/. | 
|---|
| 74 | * AM_PATH_PYTHON will also search for python2.3. | 
|---|
| 75 | * elisp files are now built all at once instead of one by one. Besides | 
|---|
| 76 | incurring a speed-up, this is required to support interdependent elisp files. | 
|---|
| 77 | * Support for DJGPP: | 
|---|
| 78 | - `make distcheck' will now work in `_inst/' and `_build' instead | 
|---|
| 79 | of `=inst/' and `=build/' | 
|---|
| 80 | - use `_dirstamp' when the file-system doesn't support `.dirstamp' | 
|---|
| 81 | - install/uninstall `*.i[0-9][0-9]'-style info files | 
|---|
| 82 | - more changes that affect only the Automake package (not its output) | 
|---|
| 83 | * Fix some incompatibilities with upcoming perl-5.10. | 
|---|
| 84 | * Properly quote AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION when defining | 
|---|
| 85 | PACKAGE and VERSION. | 
|---|
| 86 | * depcomp fixes: | 
|---|
| 87 | - dashmstdout and dashXmstdout modes: don't use `-o /dev/null', this | 
|---|
| 88 | is troublesome with gcc and Solaris compilers. (PR/385) | 
|---|
| 89 | - makedepend mode: work with Libtool. (PR/385 too) | 
|---|
| 90 | - support for ICC. | 
|---|
| 91 | * better support for unusual gettext setups, such as multiple po/ directories | 
|---|
| 92 | (PR/381): | 
|---|
| 93 | - Flag missing po/ and intl/ directories as warnings, not errors. | 
|---|
| 94 | - Disable these warnings if po/ does not exist. | 
|---|
| 95 | * Noteworthy manual updates: | 
|---|
| 96 | - New FAQ chapter. | 
|---|
| 97 | - Document how AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interacts with missing files. | 
|---|
| 98 | (Debian Bug #39542) | 
|---|
| 99 | - Document `AM_YFLAGS = -d'.  (PR/382) | 
|---|
| 100 |  | 
|---|
| 101 |  | 
|---|
| 102 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.2: | 
|---|
| 103 | * Fix installation and uninstallation of Info files built in subdirectories. | 
|---|
| 104 | * Do not run `./configure --with-included-gettext' during `make distcheck' | 
|---|
| 105 | if AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) is used. | 
|---|
| 106 | * Correctly uninstall renamed man pages. | 
|---|
| 107 | * Do not strip escaped newline in variables defined in one condition | 
|---|
| 108 | and augmented in another condition. | 
|---|
| 109 | * Fix ansi2knr rules for LIBOBJS sources. | 
|---|
| 110 | * Clean all known Texinfo index files, not only those which appear to | 
|---|
| 111 | be used, because we cannot know wich indexes are used in included files. | 
|---|
| 112 | (PR/375, Debian Bug #168671) | 
|---|
| 113 | * Honor only the first @setfilename seen in a Texinfo file. | 
|---|
| 114 | * Treat "required file X not found" diagnostics as errors (exit status 1). | 
|---|
| 115 | * Don't complain that a required file is not found when it is a Makefile | 
|---|
| 116 | target. (PR/357) | 
|---|
| 117 | * Don't use single suffix inference rules when building `.info'-less | 
|---|
| 118 | Info files, for the sake of Solaris make. | 
|---|
| 119 | * The `check' target now depends on `$(BUILT_SOURCES)'. (PR/359) | 
|---|
| 120 | * Recognize multiple inference rules such as `.a.b .c.d:'. (PR/371) | 
|---|
| 121 | * Warn about multiple inference rules when -Wportability is used. (PR/372) | 
|---|
| 122 | * Fix building of deansified files from subdirectories. (PR/370) | 
|---|
| 123 | * Add missing `fi' in the .c->.obj rules. | 
|---|
| 124 | * Improve install-sh to work even when names contain spaces or certain | 
|---|
| 125 | (but not all) shell metachars. | 
|---|
| 126 | * Fix the following spurious failures in the test suite: | 
|---|
| 127 | depcomp2.test, gnits2.test, gnits3.test, python3.test, texinfo13.test | 
|---|
| 128 | * Noteworthy manual updates: | 
|---|
| 129 | - Augment the section about BUILT_SOURCES. | 
|---|
| 130 | - Mention that AM_PROG_CC_STDC is a relic that is better avoided today. | 
|---|
| 131 |  | 
|---|
| 132 |  | 
|---|
| 133 | Bugs fixed in 1.7.1: | 
|---|
| 134 | * Honor `ansi2knr' for files built in subdirectories, or using per-targets | 
|---|
| 135 | flags. | 
|---|
| 136 | * Aclocal should now recognize macro names containing parentheses, e.g. | 
|---|
| 137 | AC_DEFUN([AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 90)], [...]). | 
|---|
| 138 | * Erase *.sum and *.log files created by DejaGnu, during `make distclean'. | 
|---|
| 139 | (Debian Bug#153697) | 
|---|
| 140 | * Install Python files even if they were built.  (PR/369) | 
|---|
| 141 | * Have stamp-vti dependent upon configure instead of configure.ac, as the | 
|---|
| 142 | version might not be defined in the latter. (PR/358) | 
|---|
| 143 | * Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works | 
|---|
| 144 | when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1. | 
|---|
| 145 | * Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input. | 
|---|
| 146 | (Debian Bug#162583) | 
|---|
| 147 | * Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally, | 
|---|
| 148 | as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example | 
|---|
| 149 | of the manual. | 
|---|
| 150 | * Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX. | 
|---|
| 151 | * Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been | 
|---|
| 152 | defined conditionally for the "right" conditions. | 
|---|
| 153 | * Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case | 
|---|
| 154 | `make distcheck' fails. | 
|---|
| 155 | * Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create | 
|---|
| 156 | spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366) | 
|---|
| 157 | * Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it. | 
|---|
| 158 |  | 
|---|
| 159 |  | 
|---|
| 160 | New in 1.7: | 
|---|
| 161 | * Autoconf 2.54 is required. | 
|---|
| 162 | * `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete | 
|---|
| 163 | configure macros.  This is done by `autoconf -Wobsolete'. | 
|---|
| 164 | * AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS and | 
|---|
| 165 | AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL are obsolete (although still | 
|---|
| 166 | supported).  You should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS, | 
|---|
| 167 | and AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead.  `autoupdate' can upgrade | 
|---|
| 168 | `configure.ac' for you. | 
|---|
| 169 | * Support for per-program and per-library `_CPPFLAGS'. | 
|---|
| 170 | * New `ctags' target (builds CTAGS files). | 
|---|
| 171 | * Support for -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble, where mumble is a warning category | 
|---|
| 172 | (see `automake --help' or the manual for a list of them). | 
|---|
| 173 | * Honor the WARNINGS environment variable. | 
|---|
| 174 | * Omit the call to depcomp when using gcc3: call the compiler directly. | 
|---|
| 175 | * A new option, std-options, tests that programs support --help and --version | 
|---|
| 176 | when `make installcheck' is run.  This is enabled by --gnits. | 
|---|
| 177 | * Texinfo rules now support the `ps' and `pdf' targets. | 
|---|
| 178 | * Info files are now created in the build directory, not the source directory. | 
|---|
| 179 | * info_TEXINFOS supports files in subdirectories (this requires Texinfo 4.1 | 
|---|
| 180 | or greater). | 
|---|
| 181 | * `make distcheck' will enforce DESTDIR support by attempting | 
|---|
| 182 | a DESTDIR install. | 
|---|
| 183 | * `+=' can be used in conditionals, even if the augmented variable | 
|---|
| 184 | was defined for another condition. | 
|---|
| 185 | * Makefile fragments (inserted with `include') are always distributed. | 
|---|
| 186 | * Use Autoconf's --trace interface to inspect configure.ac and get | 
|---|
| 187 | a more accurate view of it. | 
|---|
| 188 | * Add support for extending aclocal's default macro search path | 
|---|
| 189 | using a `dirlist' file within the aclocal directory. | 
|---|
| 190 | * automake --output-dir is deprecated. | 
|---|
| 191 | * The part of the distcheck target that checks whether uninstall actually | 
|---|
| 192 | removes all installed files has been moved in a separate target, | 
|---|
| 193 | distuninstallcheck, so it can be overridden easily. | 
|---|
| 194 | * Many bug fixes. | 
|---|
| 195 |  | 
|---|
| 196 |  | 
|---|
| 197 | New in 1.6: | 
|---|
| 198 | * Autoconf 2.52 is required. | 
|---|
| 199 | * automake no longer run libtoolize. | 
|---|
| 200 | This is the job of autoreconf (from GNU Autoconf). | 
|---|
| 201 | * `dist' generates all the archive flavors, as did `dist-all'. | 
|---|
| 202 | * `dist-gzip' generates the Gzip tar file only. | 
|---|
| 203 | * Combining Automake Makefile conditionals no longer lead to a combinatorial | 
|---|
| 204 | explosion.  Makefile.in's keep a reasonable size. | 
|---|
| 205 | * AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_STRTOD, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_PTRDIFF_T | 
|---|
| 206 | are no longer shipped, since Autoconf 2.52 provides them (both as AM_ | 
|---|
| 207 | and AC_). | 
|---|
| 208 | * `#line' of Lex and Yacc files are properly set. | 
|---|
| 209 | * EXTRA_DIST can contain generated directories. | 
|---|
| 210 | * Support for dot-less extensions in suffix rules. | 
|---|
| 211 | * The part of the distcheck target that checks whether distclean actually | 
|---|
| 212 | cleans all built files has been moved in a separate target, distcleancheck, | 
|---|
| 213 | so it can be overridden easily. | 
|---|
| 214 | * `make distcheck' will pass additional options defined in | 
|---|
| 215 | $(DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to configure. | 
|---|
| 216 | * Fixed CDPATH portability problems, in particular for MacOS X. | 
|---|
| 217 | * Fixed handling of nobase_ targets. | 
|---|
| 218 | * Fixed support of implicit rules leading to .lo objects. | 
|---|
| 219 | * Fixed late inclusion of --add-missing files (e.g. depcomp) in DIST_COMMON | 
|---|
| 220 | * Added uninstall-hook target | 
|---|
| 221 | * `AC_INIT AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(tarname,version)' is an obsolete construct. | 
|---|
| 222 | You can now use `AC_INIT(pkgname,version) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' instead. | 
|---|
| 223 | (Note that "pkgname" is not "tarname", see the manual for details.) | 
|---|
| 224 | It is also possible to pass a list of global Automake options as | 
|---|
| 225 | first argument to this new form of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. | 
|---|
| 226 | * Compiler-based assembler is now called `CCAS'; people expected `AS' | 
|---|
| 227 | to be a real assembler. | 
|---|
| 228 | * AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE will set STRIP itself when it needs it.  Adding | 
|---|
| 229 | AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP], [strip]) manually is no longer required. | 
|---|
| 230 | * aclocal and automake are also installed with the version number | 
|---|
| 231 | appended, and some of the install directory names have changed. | 
|---|
| 232 | This lets you have multiple versions installed simultaneously. | 
|---|
| 233 | * Support for parsers and lexers in subdirectories. | 
|---|
| 234 |  | 
|---|
| 235 |  | 
|---|
| 236 | New in 1.5: | 
|---|
| 237 | * Support for `configure.ac'. | 
|---|
| 238 | * Support for `else COND', `endif COND' and negated conditions `!COND'. | 
|---|
| 239 | * `make dist-all' is much faster. | 
|---|
| 240 | * Allows '@' AC_SUBSTs in macro names. | 
|---|
| 241 | * Faster AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (requires update of `missing' script) | 
|---|
| 242 | * User-side dependency tracking.  Developers no longer need GNU make | 
|---|
| 243 | * Python support | 
|---|
| 244 | * Uses DIST_SUBDIRS in some situations when SUBDIRS is conditional | 
|---|
| 245 | * Most files are correctly handled if they appear in subdirs | 
|---|
| 246 | For instance, a _DATA file can appear in a subdir | 
|---|
| 247 | * GNU tar is no longer required for `make dist' | 
|---|
| 248 | * Added support for `dist_' and `nodist_' prefixes | 
|---|
| 249 | * Added support for `nobase_' prefix | 
|---|
| 250 | * Compiled Java support | 
|---|
| 251 | * Support for per-executable and per-library compilation flags | 
|---|
| 252 | * Many bug fixes | 
|---|
| 253 |  | 
|---|
| 254 |  | 
|---|
| 255 | New in 1.4: | 
|---|
| 256 | * Added support for the Fortran 77 programming language. | 
|---|
| 257 | * Re-indexed the Automake Texinfo manual. | 
|---|
| 258 | * Added `AM_FOOFLAGS' variable for each compiler invocation; | 
|---|
| 259 | e.g. AM_CFLAGS can be used in Makefile.am to set C compiler flags | 
|---|
| 260 | * Support for latest autoconf, including support for objext | 
|---|
| 261 | * Can now put `.' in SUBDIRS to control build order | 
|---|
| 262 | * `include' command and `+=' support for macro assignment | 
|---|
| 263 | * Dependency tracking no long susceptible to deleted header file problem | 
|---|
| 264 | * Maintainer mode now a conditional.  @MAINT@ is now an anachronism. | 
|---|
| 265 | * Bug fixes | 
|---|
| 266 |  | 
|---|
| 267 |  | 
|---|
| 268 | New in 1.3: |

| 270 | * Better Cygwin32 support | 
|---|
| 271 | * Support for suffix rules with _SOURCES variables | 
|---|
| 272 | * New options `readme-alpha' and `check-news'; Gnits mode sets these | 
|---|
| 273 | * @LEXLIB@ no longer required when lex source seen | 
|---|
| 274 | Lex support in `missing', and new lex macro.  Update your missing script. | 
|---|
| 275 | * Built-in support for assembly | 
|---|
| 276 | * aclocal gives error if `AM_' macro not found | 
|---|
| 277 | * Passed YFLAGS, not YACCFLAGS, to yacc | 
|---|
| 278 | * AM_PROG_CC_STDC does not have to come before AC_PROG_CPP | 
|---|
| 279 | * Dependencies computed as a side effect of compilation | 
|---|
| 280 | * Preliminary support for Java | 
|---|
| 281 | * DESTDIR support at "make install" time | 
|---|
| 282 | * Improved ansi2knr support; you must use the latest ansi2knr.c (included) | 
|---|
| 283 |  | 
|---|
| 284 |  | 
|---|
| 285 | New in 1.2: |

| 304 | * Support for install-info program (see texinfo 3.9) | 
|---|
| 305 | * Support for "yacc -d" | 
|---|
| 306 | * configure substitutions are automatically discovered and included | 
|---|
| 307 | in generated Makefile.in | 
|---|
| 308 | * Special --cygnus mode | 
|---|
| 309 | * OMIT_DEPENDENCIES can now hold list of dependencies to be omitted | 
|---|
| 310 | when making distribution.  Some dependencies are auto-ignored. | 
|---|
| 311 | * Changed how libraries are specified in _LIBRARIES variable | 
|---|
| 312 | * Full libtool support, from Gord Matzigkeit | 
|---|
