Automake 1.5b is available. This is a prerelease.
You can get it here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5b.tar.bz2
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5b.tar.gz
>From the NEWS file:
* Autoconf 2.52 is required.
* `dist' generates all the archive flavors, as did `dist-all'.
* `dist-gzip' generates the Gzip tar file only.
* Combining Automake Makefile conditionals no longer lead to a combinatorial
explosion. Makefile.in's keep a reasonable size.
* AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_STRTOD, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_PTRDIFF_T
are no longer shipped, since Autoconf 2.52 provides them (both as AM_
and AC_).
* `#line' of Lex and Yacc files are properly set.
* EXTRA_DIST can contain generated directories.
* Support for dot-less extensions in suffix rules.
* The part of the distcheck target that checks whether distclean actually
cleans all built files has been moved in a separate target, distcleancheck,
so it can be overridden easily.
* `make distcheck' will pass additional options defined in
$(DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to configure.
* Fixed CDPATH portability problems, in particular for MacOS X.
* Fixed handling of nobase_ targets.
* Fixed support of implicit rules leading to .lo objects.
* Fixed late inclusion of --add-missing files (e.g. depcomp) in DIST_COMMON
Akim Demaille and Alexandre Duret-Lutz really did the work on this
release, so hats off to them.
