| | New in 1.16.3: |
| | |
| | * New features added |
| | |
| | - In the testsuite summary, the "for $(PACKAGE_STRING)" suffix |
| | can be overridden with the AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER variable. |
| | |
| | * Bugs fixed |
| | |
| | - Python 3.10 version number no longer considered to be 3.1. |
| | |
| | - Broken links in manual fixed or removed, and new script |
| | contrib/checklinkx (a small modification of W3C checklink) added, |
| | with accompany target checklinkx to recheck urls. |
| | |
| | - install-exec target depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES). |
| | |
| | - valac argument matching more precise, to avoid garbage in DIST_COMMON. |
| | |
| | - Support for Vala in VPATH builds fixed so that both freshly-generated and |
| | distributed C files work, and operation is more reliable with or without |
| | an installed valac. |
| | |
| | - Dejagnu doesn't break on directories containing spaces. |
| | |
| | * Distribution |
| | |
| | - new variable AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET, to allow overriding the |
| | "make dvi" that is done as part of distcheck. |
| | |
| | * Miscellaneous changes |
| | |
| | - install-sh tweaks: |
| | . new option -p to preserve mtime, i.e., invoke cp -p. |
| | . new option -S SUFFIX to attempt backup files using SUFFIX. |
| | . no longer unconditionally uses -f when rm is overridden by RMPROG. |
| | . does not chown existing directories. |
| | |
| | - Removed function up_to_date_p in lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm. |
| | We believe this function is completely unused. |
| | |
| | - Support for in-tree Vala libraries improved. |
