Here is a snapshot of the current development version of Automake.
This should become Automake 1.7 *soon*. How soon will depends on
the feedback we get on this beta.
Please get it, install it, test it, torture it.
Please report any issue by mail to <address@hidden>,
or (preferred) using the form at
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=automake
Please SHOUT LOUD if your package works with Automake 1.6.3 but
doesn't with 1.6d.
You can find this snapshot here:
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.6d.tar.gz
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.6d.tar.bz2
Here are the news since 1.6.
(The `|' on the left indicates a change since the last snapshot, 1.6b.)
New in 1.6d:
|* Autoconf 2.54 is required.
* `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete
configure macros. This is done by `autoconf -Wobsolete'.
* AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS and
AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL are obsolete (although still
supported). You should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS,
and AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead. `autoupdate' can upgrade
`configure.ac' for you.
* Support for per-program and per-library `_CPPFLAGS'.
* New `ctags' target (builds CTAGS files).
* Support for -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble, where mumble is a warning category
(see `automake --help' or the manual for a list of them).
* Honor the WARNINGS environment variable.
* Omit the call to depcomp when using gcc3: call the compiler directly.
* A new option, std-options, tests that programs support --help and --version
when `make installcheck' is run. This is enabled by --gnits.
* Texinfo rules now support the `ps' and `pdf' targets.
|* Info files are now created in the build directory, not the source directory.
|* info_TEXINFOS supports files in subdirectories (this requires Texinfo 4.1
| or greater).
* `make distcheck' will enforce DESTDIR support by attempting
a DESTDIR install.
* `+=' can be used in conditionals, even if the augmented variable
was defined for another condition.
|* Makefile fragments (inserted with `include') are always distributed.
* Use Autoconf's --trace interface to inspect configure.ac and get
a more accurate view of it.
|* Add support for extending aclocal's default macro search path
| using a `dirlist' file within the aclocal directory.
* automake --output-dir is deprecated.
* Many bug fixes.
