  New in 1.14:
  
 -* Removed support for obsolete systems:
 +* Aclocal search path:
 +
 +  - Third-party m4 files located in the system-wide aclocal directory,
 +    as well as in any directory listed in the ACLOCAL_PATH environment
 +    variable, now take precedence over "built-in" Automake macros.
 +    For example, assuming Automake is installed in the '/usr/local'
 +    hierarchy, a definition of the AM_PROG_VALAC macro found in file
 +    (say) '/usr/local/share/aclocal/my-vala.m4' should take precedence
 +    over the same-named automake-provided macro, as defined in file
 +    '/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.14/vala.m4'.
 +
 +* Obsolete and obsolescent features:
 +
 +  - Support for the long-obsolete $(INCLUDES) variable has been finally
 +    removed, in favour of the modern equivalent $(AM_CPPFLAGS).
 +
 +  - Use of the special makefile variable 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' is deprecated.
 +    To specify locations of extra m4 files, the 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' or
 +    'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS' (the latter introduced with autoconf 2.70)
 +    should be used instead.  And use of the '--install' aclocal option in
 +    'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' has proved to be a bad idea anyway -- see automake
 +    bug#9037.
 +
 +* 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 <http://www.sgi.com/services/support/irix_mips_support.html>
 +    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.
