in the package documentation):
* Obsolescent features:
- Use of suffix-less info files (that can be specified through the
'@setfilename' macro in Texinfo input files) is discouraged, and
its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete' category.
- Use of Texinfo input files with '.txi' or '.texinfo' extensions
is discouraged, and its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete'
category. You are advised to simply use the '.texi' extension
instead.
* Documentation fixes:
- The long-deprecated but still supported two-arguments invocation form
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is documented once again.
* Bugs fixed:
- When the 'ustar' option is used, the generated configure script no
longer risks hanging during the tests for the availability of the
'pax' utility, even if the user running configure has a UID or GID
that requires more than 21 bits to be represented.
- The obsolete macros AM_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_PROG_CC_STDC work once
again, as they did in Automake 1.12.x (albeit printing runtime
warnings in the 'obsolete' category).
- aclocal will no longer error out if the first local m4 directory
(as specified by the '-I' option or the 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS' or
'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' macros) doesn't exist; it will merely report
a warning in the 'unsupported' category.
- aclocal will no longer consider directories for extra m4 files more
than once, even if they are specified multiple times.
- Analysis of make flags in Automake-generated rules has been made more
robust, and more future-proof.
- Adapt automake-SUSE.patch to the changed sources.

Bugs fixed in 1.12.1:
- Several weaknesses in Automake's own build system and test suite
have been fixed.
- Aclocal works correctly with perl 5.16.0 (automake bug#11543).
- Starting from either the next minor version (1.12.2) or the next major
version (1.13), Automake will start warning if 'configure.in' is used
instead of 'configure.ac' as the Autoconf input. Future versions of
Automake will drop support for 'configure.in' altogether.
