+This file lists the major changes and differences between mainstream
+Automake and Automake-NG.  Be aware that there is likely a plethora
+of other minor differences and incompatibilities *not* listed here.
+
+Automatic dependency tracking support 
+=====================================
+
+* The generated Makefile.in files use "-include", not "include", to
+  read the '.Po' files containing automatically computed dependency
+  information.
+
+* We unconditionally assume that the "include" and "-include"
+  directives can be used in the generated Makefiles.  Accordingly,
+  the internal m4 macro 'AM_MAKE_INCLUDE' and AC_SUBST'd variables
+  'am__include' and 'am__quote' have been removed.
+
+Silent rules
+============
+
+* The silent-rules support unconditionally assumes that nested variables
+  expansion are supported.  Accordingly, the AC_SUBST'd variables '@AM_V@'
+  and'@AM_DEFAULT_V@' have been removed, so that instead of using
+  something like:
+
+    pkg_verbose = $(address@hidden@)
+    pkg_verbose_ = $(address@hidden@)
+
+  you should simply use:
+
+    pkg_verbose = $(pkg_verbose_$(V))
+    pkg_verbose_ = $(pkg_verbose_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY))
+
+Warnings and diagnostic
+=======================
+
+* Automake does not warn anymore about:
+
+  - non-POSIX variable names, like "$(dash-separated)" or "$(stem/base)";
+
+  - nested variable expansions, like "$(foo$(V))";
+
+  - variable definitions with indirections, like "var$(i) = value";
+
+  - calls to make functions, whether built-in ones like "$(wildcard *.c)"
+    or user-defined ones like "$(call my-func, arg1, arg2)".
+
+* The 'portability-recursive' warning category is obsolete, and has been
+  removed.
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+* Since GNU make is smart enough to correctly pass the values of macros
+  redefined on the command line to sub-make invocations, the "special"
+  variable $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) has been removed, and its content is no more
+  passed to recursive make invocations.
