+** Plans for 2.56
+
+- ./configure <host>
+
+ The compatibility hooks with the old scheme will be completely
+ removed. Please, advice/use `--build', `--host', and `--target'
+ only.
+
+- AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS
+
+ The tests will be stricter, please make sure your invocations are
+ valid.
+
+- shell functions
+
+ Shell functions will gradually be introduced, probably starting with
+ Autotest. If you know machines which are in use that you suspect
+ *not* to support shell functions, please run the test suite of
+ Autoconf 2.55 on it, and report the results to
+ address@hidden
+
+
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.54
Released September 13th, 2002.
