- Byte-compilation of Emacs lisp files could fail spuriously on Solaris,
when /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh were used as shell.
+* Testsuite work:
+
+ - The test cases no longer have the executable bit set. This should
+ make it clear that they are not meant to be run directly; as
+ explained in t/README, the can only be run through the custom
+ 'runtest' script, or by a "make check" invocation.
+
+ - The testsuite has seen the introduction of a new helper function
+ 'run_make', and several related changes. These serve a two-fold
+ purpose:
+
+ 1. Removing brittleness due to the use of "make -e" in test cases.
+
+ 2. Seamlessly allowing the use of parallel make ("make -j...") in
+ the test cases, even where redirection of make output is involved
+ (see automake bug#11413 for a description of the subtle issues in
+ this area).
+
+ - Some other minor, miscellaneous changes and fixlets.
