So, although the verbose output is still the default, ++ the user can now always use "./configure --enable-silent-rules" or ++ "make V=0" to enable quieter output in the package he's building. ++ ++ - The 'silent-rules' option has now become a no-op, preserved for ++ backward-compatibility only. In particular, its use does not disable ++ the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category anymore. ++ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +New in 1.12.1: + +* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities! + + - Autoconf 2.65 or later will be required by the next major Automake + version (1.13). Until now, Automake has required Autoconf version + 2.62 or later. + + - Starting from the next major Automake version (1.13), the rules to + build pdf, ps and dvi output from Texinfo input will use the '--tidy' + option by default. Since such an option was introduced in Texinfo + 4.9, this means that Makefiles generated by future Automake versions + will require at least that version of Texinfo. - - Support for the "Cygnus-style" trees (enabled by the 'cygnus' option) - will be deprecated in the next minor version of Automake (1.12.1) and - removed in the next major version (1.13). + - Starting from the next major Automake version (1.13), the parallel + testsuite harness (previously only enabled by the 'parallel-tests' + option) will become the default one; the older serial testsuite + harness will still be available through the use of the 'serial-tests' + option. - Support for the two- and three-arguments invocation forms of the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro will be deprecated in the next minor version
