+ get matched as a rule.
+ Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
+
+2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.

+ This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

+
+ parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new
+ substitution %MAKEFILE%.
+ (generate_makefile): Adjust.
+ * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass

+2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
+ * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
+ it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
+ and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
+ $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
+ in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+ `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
+ * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+ `--version' take precedence on the other options.
+ * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
+ `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
+ line wins.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.

+ extending/redefining PATH.
+ * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/man4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/mkinst3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/mmodely.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/multlib.test: Likewise.

+ Updated.
+ * Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): New maintainer check.
+ (syntax_check_rules): Updated.
+
+ Testsuite: new variables `$PATH_SEPARATOR' and `$APIVERSION'.

+2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
+ directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
+ regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
+ (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
+ `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
+ directories.
+ (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
+ the version control system used.
+
+ Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
+ * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
+ example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
+ the "cvs-dist" one.
+
+ Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
+ git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
+ * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/Version.pm (=head1 DESCRIPTION): Refer to "git
+ branches" rather than "CVS branches".
+
+ Remove obsolete .cvsignore files.
+ * .cvsignore, doc/.cvsignore, lib/.cvsignore, lib/am/.cvsignore,
+ lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
+ m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
+ savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
+ the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
+ keeping around.
+
+2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
+
+2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
+ * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
+ `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
+ seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
+ tarballs now).
