news: some changes for 1.13 has been "de-planned"
* NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): The planned Automake release
1.13 already has too much stuff on its plate; so we are not going to
In Automake 1.13, we are definitely not going to change the exact order
in which the directories in the aclocal macro search path are looked up.
Also, experience and user feedback have shown that the "obsolescent"
two-arguments invocation for AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(PACKAGE-NAME, PACKAGE-VERSION)
is still useful (until at least Autoconf is fixed to offer better support
for "dynamically" package versions), so we are not going to remove
support for that usage in Automake 1.13. For more details, see commit
v1.12.2-245-g2abe183 of 2012-08-24, "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: allow obsolescent
two-args invocation once again".
(New in 1.12.1): Adjust accordingly.
