+ * NEWS: Document fixes that have been applied since 2.61a.
+
Housekeeping.
* THANKS: Update, and convert to UTF-8 encoding.
* AUTHORS: Likewise.
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.61b (????-??-??)
+** Autoconf is now licensed under the General Public License version 3
+ or later (GPLv3+). As with earlier versions, the license includes
+ an exception clause so that you may release a configure script
+ generated by autoconf under the license of your own program.
+ FIXME - revisit this line once exception clause is finalized.
+
** New macro AC_OPENMP.
** AC_C_BIGENDIAN now supports universal binaries a la Mac OS X.
some (but not all) C++ types involving anonymous struct and union
were accepted, though this was not documented.
+** AC_CONFIG_LINKS now handles the case when source and build trees
+ coincide.
+
+** AC_INIT no longer alters $@; regression introduced in 2.60.
+
+** The command 'autoconf -' now correctly processes a file from stdin.
+
+** Autotest now determines $srcdir correctly.
+
** Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.5 or later. Earlier versions of M4 have
a bug in macro tracing that interferes with the interaction between
Autoconf and Automake. GNU M4 1.4.8 or later is recommended.
