Changelog for autoconf-2.68-1.9.noarch.rpm :
Mon Jan 31 13:00:00 2011 pthAATTsuse.de
- Cosmetic changes to spec file

Fri Dec 10 13:00:00 2010 cooloAATTnovell.com
- update to 2.68 to include the patch

*
* AC_MSG_ERROR (and AS_ERROR) can once again be followed immediately by
`dnl\'. Regression introduced in 2.66.

*
* AC_INIT again allows URLs with \'?\' for its BUG-REPORT argument.
Regression introduced in 2.66.

*
* AC_REPLACE_FUNCS again allows a non-literal argument, such as a shell
variable that expands to a list of functions to check. Regression
introduced in 2.66.

*
* AT_BANNER() with empty argument will cause visual separation from previous
test category.

*
* The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and
AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use
AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file
contents. A new macro AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED exists if you have
a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must
avoid the warning.

*
* Newly obsolete macros
The following macros have been marked obsolete. New programs
should use the corresponding Gnulib modules. Gnulib not only
detects a larger set of portability problems with these functions,
but also provides complete workarounds.
AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK
AC_FUNC_MKTIME AC_FUNC_STRTOD

Sun Sep 19 14:00:00 2010 andreaAATTopensuse.org
- added patch autoconf-2.67-fix_dnl.patch to fix regression in
AC_MSG_ERROR expansion (undefined macro: AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FDdnl)

Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 pthAATTsuse.de
- Update to 2.67:

* New macro AC_FC_LINE_LENGTH to accept long Fortran source code
lines.

* AC_PREPROC_IFELSE now keeps the preprocessed output in the
conftest.i file for inspection by the commands in the
ACTION-IF-TRUE argument.

* autoreconf passes warning flags to new enough versions of
aclocal.

* Running an Autotest testsuite in parallel mode no longer triggers
a race condition that could cause the testsuite run to end early,
fixing a sporadic failure in autoconf\'s own testsuite. Bug
present since introduction of parallel tests in 2.63b.
Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable]

* AC_FUNC_MMAP works in C++ mode again. Regression introduced in
2.65.

* Use of m4_divert without a named diversion now issues a syntax
warning, since it is seldom right to change diversions behind
autoconf\'s back.

* The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and
AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. Regression introduced in 2.65.

* AC_PROG_INSTALL correctly uses `shtool\' again. Regression
introduced in 2.64.

* Autoconf should work on EBCDIC hosts.

* AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function
argument types for overloaded C++ functions.

* AS_SET_CATFILE accepts nonliterals in its variable name argument
now.

* Autotest testsuites accept an option --recheck to rerun tests
that failed or passed unexpectedly during the last non-debug
testsuite run.

* AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now also accept `+\' signs in
`--enable-
*\' and `--with-
*\' arguments, converting them to
underscores for the variable names.

* In configure scripts, loading CONFIG_SITE no longer searches
PATH, and problems in loading the configuration site files are
diagnosed.

* Autotest testsuites may optionally provide colored test results.

* The previously undocumented Autotest macros AT_ARG_OPTION and
AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG have seen bug fixes and are documented now.
AT_ARG_OPTION has been changed in that the negative of a long
option --OPTION is now --no-OPTION rather than --noOPTION.

* The macro AS_LITERAL_IF is slightly more conservative; text
containing shell quotes are no longer treated as literals.
Furthermore, a new macro, AS_LITERAL_WORD_IF, adds an additional
level of checking that no whitespace occurs in literals.

* The macros AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP no longer expand their results.

* The following macros are now documented:
AS_BOX

* New macro AC_FC_FIXEDFORM to accept fixed-form Fortran.

- Update to 2.65

*
* Autoconf is now licensed under the GPLv3+.

*
* The manual is now shipped under the terms of the GNU FDL 1.3.

*
* config.status now provides a --config option to produce the configuration.

*
* Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.6 or later. GNU M4 1.4.13 or
later is recommended.

*
* Autotest testsuites accept an option --jobs[=N] for parallel testing.
This feature is still in testing, and may not work on every
platform, help in improving it would be appreciated.
