* Noteworthy changes in release 2.69 (2012-04-24) [stable] ** Autoconf now requires perl 5.6 or better (but generated configure scripts continue to run without perl). * Noteworthy changes in release 2.68b (2012-03-01) [beta] Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.68.*. ** Autoconf-generated configure scripts now unconditionally re-execute themselves with $CONFIG_SHELL, if that's set in the environment. ** The texinfo documentation no longer specifies "front-cover" or "back-cover" texts, so that it may now be included in Debian's "main" section. ** Support for the Go programming language has been added. The new macro AC_LANG_GO sets variables GOC and GOFLAGS. ** AS_LITERAL_IF again treats '=' as a literal. Regression introduced in 2.66. ** The macro AS_EXECUTABLE_P, present since 2.50, is now documented. ** Macros - AC_PROG_LN_S and AS_LN_S now fall back on 'cp -pR' (not 'cp -p') if 'ln -s' does not work. This works better for symlinks to directories. - New macro AC_HEADER_CHECK_STDBOOL. - New and updated macros for Fortran support: AC_FC_CHECK_BOUNDS to enable array bounds checking AC_F77_IMPLICIT_NONE and AC_FC_IMPLICIT_NONE to disable implicit integer AC_FC_MODULE_EXTENSION to compute the Fortran 90 module name extension AC_FC_MODULE_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module search path flag AC_FC_MODULE_OUTPUT_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module output directory flag AC_FC_PP_SRCEXT for preprocessed Fortran source files extensions AC_FC_PP_DEFINE for the Fortran preprocessor define flag
