 * 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.
