+New in 1.14:
+
+* Aclocal search path:
+
+ - Third-party m4 files located in the system-wide aclocal directory,
+ as well as in any directory listed in the ACLOCAL_PATH environment
+ variable, now take precedence over "built-in" Automake macros.
+ For example, assuming Automake is installed in the '/usr/local'
+ hierarchy, a definition of the AM_PROG_VALAC macro found in file
+ (say) '/usr/local/share/aclocal/my-vala.m4' should take precedence
+ over the same-named automake-provided macro, as defined in file
+ '/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.14/vala.m4'.
+
+* Obsolescent features flagged:
+
+ - Use of the special makefile variable 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' is deprecated.
+ To specify locations of extra m4 files, the 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' or
+ 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS' (the latter introduced with autoconf 2.70)
+ should be used instead. And use of the '--install' aclocal option in
+ 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' has proved to be a bad idea anyway -- see automake
+ bug#9037.
+
+* Obsolete features removed:
+
+ - The long-obsolete (since automake 1.10) AM_PROG_MKDIR m4 macro has
+ been removed. The $(mkdir_p) make variable and the @mkdir_p@
+ substitutionl still remains available for the moment, as aliases
+ of $(MKDIR_P), for better backward compatibility; but you are
+ advised to stop using ASAP, as they might be removed in future
+ Automake versions.
+
+ - Support for the long-deprecated name 'configure.in' for the Autoconf
+ input file has been removed altogether. Just use the modern name
+ 'configure.ac' instead.
+
+ - Support for the long-obsolete variable $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES) has
+ been removed. It should be safe to simply remove any definition
+ of it you have in your Makefiles.
+
+ - Support for the long-obsolete $(INCLUDES) variable has been finally
+ removed, in favour of the modern equivalent $(AM_CPPFLAGS).
+
+* Removed support for obsolete platforms:
+
+ - Support for the SGI C/C++ compilers has been removed: these compilers
+ are only meant to run on IRIX, and that system has seen its last
+ release in 2006, and is expected to lose support from SGI in December
+ 2013; see <http://www.sgi.com/services/support/irix_mips_support.html>
+ for more information.
+
+ - Support for DJGPP on MS-DOS and/or Windows 95/98/ME has been removed.
+ Note that both Cygwin and MSYS/MinGW on modern Windows versions will
+ continue to be fully supported.
