ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.3.tar.xz Reproducible: Always New in 1.11.3: * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities! - The support for the "obscure" multilib feature has been deprecated, and will be moved out of the automake core in the next major Automake release (1.12). - The support for ".log -> .html" conversion and the check-html and recheck-html targets will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12). - The obsolescent AM_WITH_REGEX macro has been deprecated (since the GNU rx library has been decommissioned), and will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12). - The `lzma' compression format for distribution archives has been deprecated in favor of `xz' and `lzip', and will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12). - The `--acdir' option of aclocal is deprecated, and will probably be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12). - The exact order in which the directories in the aclocal macro search path are looked up is probably going to be changed in the next Automake release (1.12). - The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12). - Starting from the next Automake release (1.12), warnings in the `extra-portability' category will be enabled by `-Wall' (right now, one has to use `-Wextra-portability' explicitly). * Miscellaneous changes: - Automake's own build system is more silent by default, making use of the 'silent-rules' option. - The master copy of the `gnupload' script is now maintained in gnulib, not in automake. - The `missing' script doesn't try to wrap calls to `tar' anymore. - "make dist" doesn't wrap `tar' invocations with the `missing' script anymore. Similarly, the obsolescent variable `$(AMTAR)' (which you shouldn't be using BTW ;-) does not invoke the missing script anymore to wrap tar, but simply invokes the `tar' program itself. - "make dist" can now create lzip-compressed tarballs. - In the Automake info documentation, the Top node and the nodes about the invocation of the automake and aclocal programs have been renamed; now, calling "info automake" will open the Top node, while calling "info automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" will access the nodes about the invocation of respectively automake and aclocal. - Automake is now distributed as a gzip-compressed and an xz-compressed tarball. Previously, bzip2 was used instead of xz. - The last relics of Python 1.5 support have been removed from the AM_PATH_PYTHON macro. - 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. Bugs fixed in 1.11.3: * Bugs introduced by 1.11.2: - Automake now correctly recognizes the prefix/primary combination `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as valid. - The parallel-tests harness doesn't trip anymore on sed implementations with stricter limits on the length of input lines (problem seen at least on Solaris 8). * Long-standing bugs: - The "deleted header file problem" for *.am files is avoided by stub rules. This allows `make' to trigger a rerun of `automake' also if some previously needed `.am' file has been removed. - The `silent-rules' option now generates working makefiles even for the uncommon `make' implementations that do not support the nested-variables extension to POSIX 2008. For such `make' implementations, whether a build is silent is determined at configure time, and cannot be overridden at make time with `make V=0' or `make V=1'. - Vala support now works better in VPATH setups.
