+ 
+ 	tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
+ 	* tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
+ 	that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
+ 	* tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
+ 
 +2011-01-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
 +	recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
 +	with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
 +	thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
 +	activated when it should.
 +
 +2011-01-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
 +	* tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
 +	characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
 +	from macros set from environment variables.  Fixes testsuite
 +	failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
 +
 +2011-01-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
 +	* tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
 +	per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
 +	Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
 +
 +2011-01-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests defs: sanitize IFS
 +	* tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.

 +
 +	tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
 +	* tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
 +	Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
 +	make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
 +
 +2011-01-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
 +	* tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
 +	that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
 +	* tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
 +
 +2011-01-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
 +	* tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
 +	`cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
 +	up its internal memory when copying this tree.
 +
 +2011-01-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +	    Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +

 +	* lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
 +
 +2011-01-20  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
 +	* tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
 +	double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
 +
 +2011-01-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
 +	* lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
 +	that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'.  Move protection as early
 +	as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
 +	* tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
 +	Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
 +
 +2011-01-19  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses

 +2011-01-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.

 +
 +2011-01-16  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

 +	    Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
 +	* lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
 +	Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid

 +	* tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
 +	* NEWS: Update.
 +
 +2011-01-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	* NEWS, README: Update copyright years.

 +
 +2011-01-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
 +	(API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
 +	lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
 +	output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
 +	Report by Stefano Lattarini.
 +
 +2011-01-15  Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
 +
 +	tests: fix comment typo
 +	* tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.
 +
 +2011-01-13  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
 +	* tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
 +	* tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
 +	that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
 +	to build it.
 +	Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
 +
 +2011-01-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
 +	Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
 +	require computing the canonical host name.  Ensure config.guess
 +	and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

 +	This change fixes automake bug#7828.
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
 +	recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
 +	other options.
 +	From a report by Юрий Пухальский.
 +
 +2011-01-10   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests: add checks on automatically-distributed files
 +	Related to automake bug#7819.

 +
 +2011-01-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
 +	* tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
 +	automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
 +	in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
 +	* tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
 +
 +2011-01-09  Dave Hart  <davehart@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
 +
 +	Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
 +	* lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
 +
 +2011-01-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
 +	* tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
 +	`make', for debugging.  When looking for required tools, do not
 +	redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
 +	uselessly run it in a subshell.
 +	* tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
 +	make.  All checks moved into Makefile.am.
 +	* tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
 +	configure.in.
 +	* tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
 +	minor improvements.
 +	* tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
 +	changes.  Add trailing `:' command.
 +	* tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
 +	Makefile.in stricter.
 +	* tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
 +	changes.  Add trailing `:' command.  Do not add unnecessary stuff
 +	to Makefile.am.
 +	* tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
 +	to be generated only once really are.  Make grepping less strict,
 +	to avoid exposing too much internal details.  More minor changes.
 +	* tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'.  Prefer cat over echo
 +	for appending to configure.in.  Updated/fixed heading comments.
 +	* tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
 +	it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
 +	* tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'.  Prefer cat over echo
 +	for appending to configure.in.  Also, check that index files are
 +	cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
 +	* tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
 +	and added trailing `:' command.  This testcase also used to check
 +	that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
 +	preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
 +	"Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
 +	so they have been moved ...
 +	* tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
 +	* tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.  Add
 +	trailing `:' command.
 +	* tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise.  Relax grepping of generated
 +	Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces.  Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
 +	append to configure.in.
 +	* tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
 +	make it stricter, sometimes laxer).  Move `set -e' setting just
 +	after the inclusion of ./defs.  De-uglify a sed command.  Other
 +	minor cosmetic improvements.
 +	* tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.  Add
 +	trailing `:' command.
 +	* tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
 +	* tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

 +
 +2011-01-09  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	Add test coverage for deleted header files.
 +	* tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
 +	also check for the deleted header bug.  If no dependency
 +	tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
 +	successfully.  Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
 +
 +	Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
 +	* lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
 +
 +	docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
 +	* doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...
 +	(amhello's configure.ac Setup Explained)
 +	(amhello's Makefile.am Setup Explained) : ... into these two.
 +	(Top, Hello World): Adjust, and add @anchor for stable URL links.
 +	Suggestion by Karl Berry in automake bug#7766.
 +
 +2011-01-08  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>
 +	    Eric Blake  <eblake@redhat.com>
 +
 +	docs: reference defining directories in amhello node.
 +	* doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Point to Autoconf
 +	manual for how to convert directory values into macros.
 +	(Optional): Fix grammar nit.
 +
 +2011-01-02   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	* NEWS: Fix typo (forgotten word).
 +
 +2011-01-02   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +	     Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
 +	be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
 +	couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
 +
 +2011-01-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
 +	* lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
 +	Sync from upstream.
 +
 +	Fix maintainer-check regression.
 +	* tests/subobj11a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in the

 +	* doc/automake.texi: Likewise.
 +
 +2010-12-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +	    Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of Solaris make.
 +	* automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the
 +	dependency file: collapse multiple slash characters into a single
 +	one.
 +	* tests/subobj11a.test: New test.
 +	* tests/subobj11b.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/subobj11c.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 +	* NEWS: Updated.
 +	Report by Stefano Lattarini, quick fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
 +	patch and tests by Stefano Lattarini.
 +
 +2010-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
 +	* tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
 +	weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
 +	* tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
 +	change.
 +	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.  The bugs have been there from the
 +	first versions of the affected test scripts.

 +
 +	docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
 +	the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
 +	least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
 +	Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
 +
 +2010-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
 +	* tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
 +	its output each time for a single error message, rather than
 +	running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
 +	all the expected error messages.  This should work around make
 +	implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
 +	information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
 +	  - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",
 +	    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00162.html>

 +
 +2010-12-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
 +	* tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
 +	`i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
 +	in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
 +
 +2010-12-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
 +	not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
 +	extension module `quaternion.la'.
 +
 +2010-12-16  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	docs: list LTLIBRARIES among Automake primaries
 +	* doc/automake.texi (Uniform): List `LTLIBRARIES' among
 +	the Automake primaries.
 +
 +2010-12-14  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
 +	* tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen

 +2010-12-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 +
 +	Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
 +	* tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
 +	Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
 +	invoke installed automake.
 +
 +2010-11-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
 +	In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
 +	use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
 +	unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
 +	compilers were used.  So we are now careful to require GCC in
 +	tests that force gcc depmode.
 +	From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
 +	* silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 +	* silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
 +	sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 +	"gcc" in $required.
 +	* silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 +	* silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
 +	sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 +	"gcc" in $required.
 +	* silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 +	* silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
 +	sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 +	"gcc" in $required.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 +
 +2010-11-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 +
 +	Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
 +	* tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
 +	post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
 +	of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
 +	on the commend line.  Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
 +	* tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
 +	Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
 +	improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

 +
 +	Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
 +	* tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
 +	hand-postprocessed Makefile.in.  This check worked by setting
 +	the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
 +	not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
 +	This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
 +	commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various

 +2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
 +	* lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
 +	"appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
 +	later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
 +	character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
 +	escaped newlines.  This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
 +	where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
 +	* tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.

 +
 +	Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).

 +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

 +
 +	Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.

 +
 +	Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
 +	The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

 +	defined).
 +
 +	Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
 +	* tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of

 +
 +	Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
 +	* tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
 +	instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
 +
 +2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +	Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
 +	`make dist' to fail.
 +	* tests/distlinksbrk.test: New test.
 +	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
