Subject: GNU autoconf-2.66 released [stable]<br>To: <a href="mailto:info-gnu@gnu.org">info-gnu@gnu.org</a>, <a href="mailto:Autoconf@gnu.org">Autoconf@gnu.org</a><br>Cc: <a href="mailto:autotools-announce@gnu.org">autotools-announce@gnu.org</a>, "<a href="mailto:bug-autoconf@gnu.org">bug-autoconf@gnu.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:bug-autoconf@gnu.org">bug-autoconf@gnu.org</a>><br>
<br><br>The GNU Autoconf team is pleased to announce the stable release of<br>
Autoconf 2.66. �Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that<br>
produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code<br>
packages. �These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of<br>
UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. �Autoconf creates a<br>
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the<br>
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4<br>
macro calls.<br>
<br>
This release fixes a few regressions introduced in recent releases, and<br>
is primarily focused on bug fixes. �It also includes a few new features,<br>
documented below.<br>
<br>
Here are the compressed sources:<br>

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:<br>

To reduce load on the main server, use a mirror listed at:<br>
�<a href="http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html</a><br>
<br>
[*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that<br>
the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. �First,<br>
be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball.<br>
Then, run a command like this:<br>
<br>
�gpg --verify autoconf-2.66.tar.gz.sig<br>
<br>
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,<br>
then run this command to import it:<br>
<br>
�gpg --keyserver <a href="http://keys.gnupg.net" target="_blank">keys.gnupg.net</a> --recv-keys 2527436A<br>
<br>
and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.<br>
<br>
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:<br>
�Automake 1.11.1<br>

./NEWS<br>

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable]<br>
�Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.65.*.<br>
<br>
** AC_FUNC_MMAP works in C++ mode again. �Regression introduced in 2.65.<br>
<br>
** Use of m4_divert without a named diversion now issues a syntax warning,<br>
� since it is seldom right to change diversions behind autoconf's back.<br>
<br>
** The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and<br>
� AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. �Regression introduced in 2.65.<br>
<br>
** AC_PROG_INSTALL correctly uses `shtool' again. �Regression introduced<br>
� in 2.64.<br>
<br>
** Autoconf should work on EBCDIC hosts.<br>
<br>
** AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function argument types<br>
� for overloaded C++ functions.<br>
<br>
** AS_SET_CATFILE accepts nonliterals in its variable name argument now.<br>
<br>
** Autotest testsuites accept an option --recheck to rerun tests that<br>
� failed or passed unexpectedly during the last non-debug testsuite run.<br>
<br>
** AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now also accept `+' signs in `--enable-*'<br>
� and `--with-*' arguments, converting them to underscores for the variable<br>
� names.<br>
<br>
** In configure scripts, loading CONFIG_SITE no longer searches PATH,<br>
� and problems in loading the configuration site files are diagnosed.<br>
<br>
** Autotest testsuites may optionally provide colored test results.<br>
<br>
** The previously undocumented Autotest macros AT_ARG_OPTION and<br>
� AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG have seen bug fixes and are documented now.<br>
� AT_ARG_OPTION has been changed in that the negative of a long option<br>
� --OPTION is now --no-OPTION rather than --noOPTION.<br>
<br>
** The macro AS_LITERAL_IF is slightly more conservative; text<br>
� containing shell quotes are no longer treated as literals.<br>
� Furthermore, a new macro, AS_LITERAL_WORD_IF, adds an additional<br>
� level of checking that no whitespace occurs in literals.<br>
<br>
** The macros AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP no longer expand their results.<br>
<br>
** The following macros are now documented:<br>
� AS_BOX<br>
<br>
** New macro AC_FC_FIXEDFORM to accept fixed-form Fortran.<br>
