New in 1.12.3: * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities! - Future versions of Automake will likely drop support for the long-deprecated 'configure.in' name for the Autoconf input file. You are advised to use the recommended name 'configure.ac' instead. - The long-obsolete (since automake 1.10) AM_PROG_MKDIR m4 macro will be removed in Automake 1.13. The $(mkdir_p) make variable and the @mkdir_p@ substitution will still remain available (as aliases of $(MKDIR_P)) for the moment, for better backward compatibility. - Autoconf 2.65 or later will be required by the next major Automake version (1.13). Until now, Automake has required Autoconf version 2.62 or later. - Starting from the next major Automake version (1.13), the rules to build pdf, ps and dvi output from Texinfo input will use the '--build-dir' option by default. Since such an option was only introduced in Texinfo 4.9, this means that Makefiles generated by future Automake versions will require at least that version of Texinfo. - Starting from the next major Automake version (1.13), the parallel testsuite harness (previously only enabled by the 'parallel-tests' option) will become the default one; the older serial testsuite harness will still be available through the use of the 'serial-tests' option. - The following long-obsolete m4 macros will be removed in the next major Automake version (1.13): AM_PROG_CC_STDC: superseded by AC_PROG_CC since October 2002 fp_PROG_CC_STDC: broken alias for AM_PROG_CC_STDC fp_WITH_DMALLOC: old alias for AM_WITH_DMALLOC AM_CONFIG_HEADER: superseded by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS since July 2002 ud_PATH_LISPDIR: old alias for AM_PATH_LISPDIR jm_MAINTAINER_MODE: old alias for AM_MAINTAINER_MODE ud_GNU_GETTEXT: old alias for AM_GNU_GETTEXT gm_PROG_LIBTOOL: old alias for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL fp_C_PROTOTYPES: old alias for AM_C_PROTOTYPES (which was part of the now-removed automatic de-ANSI-fication support of Automake) - All the "old alias" macros in 'm4/obsolete.m4' will be removed in the next major Automake version (1.13). - Support for the two- and three-arguments invocation forms of the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro is deprecated, and will be removed in the next major Automake version (1.13). - The '--acdir' option of aclocal is deprecated, and will probably be removed in the next major Automake release (1.13). You should use the options '--automake-acdir' and '--system-acdir' instead (which have been introduced in Automake 1.11.2). - 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 (1.13). - The 'missing' script will not try anymore to update the timestamp of out-of-date files that require a maintainer-specific tool to be remade, in case the user lacks such a tool (or has a too-old version of it). In fact, starting from Automake 1.13, all it'll do will be giving more useful warnings than a bare "command not found" from a make recipe would. * Miscellaneous changes: - The '.m4' files provided by Automake does not define serial numbers anymore. This should cause no difference in the behaviour of aclocal though. - Some testsuite weaknesses and spurious failures have been fixed. - There is initial support for automatic dependency tracking with the Portland Group C/C++ compilers, thanks to the new new depmode 'pgcc'. Bugs fixed in 1.12.3: * Long-standing bugs: - Instead of renaming only self-references of files (typically for #lines), ylwrap now also renames references to the other generated files. This fixes support for GLR and C++ parsers from Bison (PR automake/491 and automake bug#7648): 'parser.c' now properly #includes 'parser.h' instead of 'y.tab.h'. - Generated files unknown to ylwrap are now preserved. This fixes C++ support for Bison (automake bug#7648): location.hh and the like are no longer discarded.
