GNU AutoGen-5.2.1 -- first official GNU release

GNU AutoGen-5.2.1 has been released.
It is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autogen/ and mirrors.

AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain
repetitive text with varied substitutions.  Its goal is to simplify the
maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text
that must be kept synchronized.

Changes in this version:

  -  You have possibly never heard of it before.  If so:
     http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen will help

  -  It includes automated option processing
  -  It includes automated Fininte State Machine generation
  -  It includes a layer over RPCGEN that can automatically
     marshall and unmarshall arguments for combined procedures
     (a la NVSv4).

The *real* changes in this version can be viewed here:

==============================

***  ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE  ***

With this release, version 4 is now obsolete.
That means for you Debian folks, there is no
Debianized package for you anymore.  Anyone
willing to help me get one rolled up would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Regards,
        Bruce
