GNU Autoconf Archive version 2015.09.25 is available for download. Here
are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2015.09.25.tar.xz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2015.09.25.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify autoconf-archive-2015.09.25.tar.xz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 99089D72
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.14.1
Gnulib v0.1-571-g43a090c
NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 2015.09.25 (2015-09-25) [stable]
The Archive no longer releases an "lzip"-compressed tarball. The only
supported format now is "xz". The rationale is that xz so widely supported
that it seems pointless to archive two release archives on our servers for no
apparent reason.
AX_PYTHON_DEVEL changed to provide PYTHON_LIBS, not PYTHON_LDFLAGS. This
change breaks scripts written with previous versions in mind! The rationale
is that -L and -l are LIBS arguments, not LDFLAGS arguments. Returning output
in PYTHON_LDFLAGS suggested wrongly that they should be used in LDFLAGS,
which can cause the -L and -l arguments to be ignored when they are not in
the expected position in the list of command line arguments. This is a
problem, for instance, with the command line generated by AC_LINK_IFELSE.
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 now supports Cray's crayCC compiler (CCE 8.4).
AX_PYTHON, AX_PYTHON_EMBED now support Python 3.4.
AX_LIB_ORACLE_OCI now supports Oracle 12.
AX_EXT now supports AVX2/AVX512 and other CPU extensions.
The new macro AX_GNU_AUTOTEST was added. The macro supports multiple
test-suites, Makefiles in different locations and many more features.
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 now checks for attribute support with C++11 macro.
Some compilers pass the other tests while not implementing this part of the
C++11 specification. The test used also does not cause warnings with GCC or
Clang, and can be used with -Werror.
The new macro AX_PROG_BISON_VERSION can be used to check for specific
versions of bison.
The new macro AX_PROG_FLEX_VERSION can be used to check for specific
versions of flex.
AX_APPEND_FLAG no longer fails if the given flag contains a ','.
AX_LUA now supports Lua 5.3.
AX_BERKELEY_DB_CXX now supports FreeBSD.
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 now support HP aCC.
AX_PYTHON_MODULE and AX_PYTHON_MODULE_VERSION now support Python 3.
The new macro AX_PYTHON_MODULE_VERSION has been added.
AX_LIB_POSTGRESQL provides a new output variable POSTGRESQL_LIBS.
AX_PATH_GENERIC now supports flags that contain spaces.
AX_BOOST_BASE now supports native Windows header only libraries.
