- PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX are now set according to
Python's sys.* values only if the new configure option
--with-python-sys-prefix is specified. Otherwise, GNU default values
are used, as in the past. (The change in 1.16.3 was too incompatible.)
- consistently depend on install-libLTLIBRARIES.
- use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
- Common top-level files can be provided as .md; the non-md version is
used if both are present:
AUTHORS ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS README README-alpha THANKS
- CTAGS, ETAGS, SCOPE variables can be set via configure.
- Silent make output for custom link commands.
- New option "no-dist-built-sources" skips generating $(BUILT_SOURCES)
before building the tarball as part of "make dist", that is,
omits the dependency of $(distdir): $(BUILT_SOURCES).
- automake output more reproducible.
- test-driver less likely to clash with tests writing to the same file.
- DejaGnu tests always use the directory name, testsuite/, for
compatibility with the newer dejagnu-1.6.3 and with prior versions.
- config.sub and config.guess updates include restoration of `...`
for maximum portability.
- refresh automake-suse-vendor.patch
- drop fix-testsuite-failures-with-autoconf270.patch (upstream)
- drop automake-reproducible.patch (upstream)

- In the testsuite summary, the "for $(PACKAGE_STRING)" suffix
can be overridden with the AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER variable.
- Python 3.10 version number no longer considered to be 3.1.
- Broken links in manual fixed or removed, and new script
contrib/checklinkx (a small modification of W3C checklink) added,
with accompany target checklinkx to recheck urls.
- install-exec target depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES).
- valac argument matching more precise, to avoid garbage in DIST_COMMON.
- Support for Vala in VPATH builds fixed so that both freshly-generated and
distributed C files work, and operation is more reliable with or without
an installed valac.
- Dejagnu doesn't break on directories containing spaces.
- new variable AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET, to allow overriding the
"make dvi" that is done as part of distcheck.
- install-sh tweaks:
. new option -p to preserve mtime, i.e., invoke cp -p.
. new option -S SUFFIX to attempt backup files using SUFFIX.
. no longer unconditionally uses -f when rm is overridden by RMPROG.
. does not chown existing directories.
- Removed function up_to_date_p in lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm.
We believe this function is completely unused.
- Support for in-tree Vala libraries improved.
- rename automake-SuSE.patch to automake-suse-vendor.patch and refresh
- remove automake-testsuite-vala-gcc10.patch (upstream)
