+- Update to head of branch-1.4.
+  ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.4b where using `traceon' could delete
+     a macro.  This was most noticeable with `traceon(`traceon')', but
+     would also happen in cases such as `foo(traceon(`foo'))'.
+  ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.7 where `m4 -N9' died with an assertion
+     failure.
+  ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.11 where `defn' died with an assertion
+     failure on a traced but undefined macro.
+  ** New `-g'/`--gnu' command-line option overrides `-G'/`--traditional'.
+     For now, the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT has no effect on M4
+     behavior; but a future release of M4 will behave as though --traditional
+     is implied if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set (this future change is necessary,
+     because in the current release, there is no way to disable GNU
+     extensions that conflict with POSIX without the use of a non-POSIX
+     command-line argument).  Clients of M4 that want to use GNU extensions,
+     even when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, should start using the -g command-line
+     argument, even though it is currently a no-op if -G did not appear
+     earlier in the command line, so that the client will not break in the
+     face of an upgraded m4 and a POSIXLY_CORRECT execution environment.
+  ** The `-L'/`--nesting-limit' command-line option now defaults to 0 for
+     unlimited on platforms that can detect and deal with stack overflow.  On
+     systems that lack alternate stack support, such as Cygwin, and on
+     systems that do not obey the POSIX semantics for distinguishing stack
+     overflow from other exceptions, such as Linux, you can optionally
+     install the libsigsegv library (version 2.6 or newer recommended) to
+     enhance m4's ability to accurately report stack overflow:
+     http://www.gnu.org/software/libsigsegv/
+  ** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
