|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | * Longstanding bugs:
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | - Correctly diagnose `#' comments following trailing backslash.
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | - Preserve backslashes preceding `##' lines.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | - Preserve the order of items conditionally appended (+=) to variables.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | - Fix support of installation directory names with spaces on systems
|
|---|
| 12 | where mkinstalldirs cannot use `mkdir -p'.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | - Avoid infinite loop in mdate-sh when TIME_STYLE is set.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | - Do not output two definitions of SOURCES (an internal variable).
|
|---|
| 17 | One was not formatted and could exceed the maximum line length of
|
|---|
| 18 | some third-party tools (e.g., AIX 5.1 grep, breaking dependency
|
|---|
| 19 | tracking).
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | - Do not empty info files when attempting to rebuild them without makeinfo.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | - Be smarter when a Makefile.am references files in both "./dir" and
|
|---|
| 24 | "dir": do not output two rules to create these directories.
|
|---|
| 25 | (PR/461)
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | - Do not attempt to recover a missing *.elc file if it cannot be
|
|---|
| 28 | created because emacs does not exist.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | - Several aclocal fixes for issues occuring when configure.ac
|
|---|
| 31 | includes some other m4 files explicitely with m4_include or m4_sinclude.
|
|---|
| 32 | (PR/450)
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | - depcomp's cpp mode now understands preprocessors that output either
|
|---|
| 35 | `#line 42 file' or `# 42 file'. (Only the latter was supported.)
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | * Other miscellaneous changes:
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | - Update the GPL, and the FSF postal address.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | - Anticipate for python2.5 in AM_PATH_PYTHON.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | - The manual should now compile without any warning from TeX.
|
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | Bugs fixed in 1.9.5:
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | * Longstanding bugs:
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | - All m4 files have been relicensed under an all-permissive license.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | Previously they used a GPL license, and an all-permissive license
|
|---|
| 53 | was prepended when they were copied into aclocal.m4, leading to
|
|---|
| 54 | some confusion.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | - aclocal now recognizes AU_ALIAS.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | - Improve support for `make -k', it didn't work on cygwin.
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | - Fix the definition of FCLINK for preprocessed Fortran.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | - Fixes for auxiliary scripts:
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | - depcomp's tru64 mode did not work while compiling libtool libraries
|
|---|
| 65 | with static libraries disabled.
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | - mdate-sh now copes with Darwin's non-standard ls output.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | - missing properly emulates makeinfo when neither -o nor
|
|---|
| 70 | @setfilename are used.
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | - Don't output long variable definitions. Automake normally tries
|
|---|
| 73 | to output variable definitions as they are input, bug very long
|
|---|
| 74 | lines in Makefile.in can break some sed and make implementations
|
|---|
| 75 | with a limited line length. If a line in a variable definition is
|
|---|
| 76 | longer than 1000 characters, automake will wrap the definition
|
|---|
| 77 | around 80 columns. Other definitions are still output untouched.
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | * Noteworthy manual updates:
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | - Hard-Coded Install Paths: New FAQ entry.
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | - How the Linker is Chosen: Rewritten.
|
|---|
| 84 | |
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 | Bugs fixed in 1.9.4:
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | * Longstanding bugs:
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | - Portability nits in install-sh and mdata-sh.
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | - Don't let `make install' fails if a _JAVA primary becomes empty
|
|---|
| 93 | because of conditionals.
|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | - Do not confuse CHANGELOG with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
|
|---|
| 96 | case-preserving file systems (likewise for all automatically
|
|---|
| 97 | distributed files).
|
|---|
| 98 |
|
|---|
| 99 | - Do not embed $DESTDIR in Python's byte-code files.
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | - Work around programs that read stdin when checking for --version
|
|---|
| 102 | and --help options (when the `std-options' is used).
|
|---|
| 103 |
|
|---|
| 104 | - Fix AM_PATH_PYTHON to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no minimum
|
|---|
| 105 | version was supplied and no interpreter is found.
|
|---|
| 106 |
|
|---|
| 107 | * Noteworthy manual updates:
