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: + + - 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 + 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. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + - New in 1.13: + New in 1.13.1: * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
