The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.misc.discuss as well.
There have been many significative changes in Autoconf recently,
although most of them should be invisible to you. This is the main
motivation for this prerelease. Also, I now consider Autotest to be
truly usable. Well, if you care using undocumented features of course
:)
Stay tuned on address@hidden to learn about Autotest and currently
being written documentation.
Some bugs were fixed, and to our knowledge this prerelease features no
new bug. People used to 2.5x should find a significant improvement of
2.52 with this release, with no (known/conscious) incompatibility.
And of course, people sticking to 2.13 will find even more reasons to
stick to it.
The whole package is now much more dependent on autom4te, a new tool,
or, should I say, thanks to autom4te, many things are simpler, and
faster (e.g., autoheader and autoupdate no longer run autoconf:
autom4te --language=autoconf is just what it takes).
Enjoy! (I for one, will sure enjoy my weekend...)

NEWS:
** Licensing
The Autoconf manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU FDL.
** Requirements
Perl 5.005 is now required to run Autoconf.
** Documentation
- AC_INIT
Argument requirements, output variables, defined macros.
- Autotest
First sketch of its documentation.
- Double quoting macros
AC_TRY_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK and AC_TRY_RUN.
** autom4te
New executable, used by the Autoconf suite to cache and speed up
some processing.
** Standardization of the executables interface
- --force, -f
Supported by autom4te, autoconf and autoheader.
- --include, -I
Replaces --autoconf-dir and --localdir in autoconf, autoheader and
autoupdate.
** Bug fixes
- The top level $prefix is propagated to the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS configures.
** C Macros
- AC_C_BIGENDIAN supports the cross-compiling case.
- AC_C_BIGENDIAN accepts ACTION-IF-TRUE, ACTION-IF-FALSE, and
ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN arguments. All are facultative, and the default
for ACTION-IF-TRUE is to define WORDS_BIGENDIAN like AC_C_BIGENDIAN
always did.
** Generic macros
- AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, HEADERS, FILES, LINKS.
Provide the user with srcdir, ac_top_srcdir, ac_top_builddir, ac_srcdir.

2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
inverse order.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

autom4te_perllibdir.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
run is stupid.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from address@hidden'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.

* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.

`print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
(autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
the time stamps.
Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
Check the completeness of the #template.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/remove/unlink/.

invocation.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
`autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.

2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
* tests/autoheader: Adjust.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify address@hidden'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
* tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'.
* bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
optionally `FILE'.
Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
(&parse_args): Adjust.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
`abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
* man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
find the executables for it.
* tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
* tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
We only need PERL.
* tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
--autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
* tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
* tests/autoscan: New.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
refer to library files: rely on --language.

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
(Initializing configure): Typo.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
download in a tmp dir.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
case insensitive OSes out there :(

2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
Based on code by Guido Draheim <address@hidden>.
2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
effects.
Suggested by Russ Allbery.
2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
current $prefix to the sub-configures.
2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
removed.
(at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
Dump information on the first run of each test.
(AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
test group.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
does not like `' instead of [].
(AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
And don't output such tokens.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
`script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
* tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
(AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
AC_TRY_LINK.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
(AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
files.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
* bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
(@Request::source): Rename as...
(@Request::input): this.
(@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
(&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
`$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
(&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
(m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
`autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
* bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
(Request::id): this.
($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
(&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
(&handle_output): Adjust.
(&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
(top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
(&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
(&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
(&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
* lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
(&mtime): New, export it.
* bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
must be proposed to the users.
* bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
(@preselect): New.
(&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
(&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
* bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
lines arguments.
2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>
* bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
arguments.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
From Nicolas Joly.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
* bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
trace requests.
(@m4_builtins): Rename as...
(@m4_builtin): this.
(%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
(&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
(&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
(&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
m4_if, and m4_wrap.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
(m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
mismatch happens.
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
the appear in the output.
* lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
* tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
(autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
Check that `dnl' is caught.
2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
