 * 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.
