+ depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
+ * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
+ make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
+ * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
+ similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
+ support the -o option.

+ dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
+ made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
+ defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
+ when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
+ of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
+ (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
+ * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
+ * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
+ newly enabled environment variables.

+
+ Add support for newer python versions.
+ * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
+ _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
+ line and fix indentation.
+ * THANKS: Updated.
+ From a report by Thomas Klausner.
+
+ Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
+ * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
+ * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
+ flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
+ * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
+ * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
+ instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
+ please maintainet-check.
+ * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

+
+ Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
+ * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
+ flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
+ to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
+ * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
