* doc/autoconf.texi:
Don't mention Solaris versions so much, if a
problem is common to all extant versions of Solaris. Say "SunOS
4" instead of "SunOS" for SunOS 4.
(awk): Mention more of the limitations of traditional Awk.
(cat): Don't talk about cat -v.
(AS_VERSION_COMPARE): New macro. The API is taken from CVS,
but the implementation is entirely different and is designed
to be compatible with glibc strverscmp.
* tests/m4sh.at (AS_VERSION_COMPARE): New test.
"behavior" -> "behavior".
Warn about \(...\)* in Solaris sed (written by Ralf Menzel).
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Omit blank after ":" sed command,
as per POSIX.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Work around problem
with Solaris sed. Fix by Stepan Kasal.
(.x.1): Ignore the time stamp in the .TH line when deciding whether
to update the man page. That way, we don't have to check in new
man pages every month.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): Likewise.
Reword to avoid some formatting glitches.
Use "#!/bin/sh", not "#! /bin/sh"; the space isn't needed these days.
Clarify explanation of HP compiler bug.
Redo example output tp match current CVS snapshot.
Use @example.org in email addresses when the examples
might get inadvertently cut-and-pasted into user code.
Remove example of autom4te usage that doesn't seem to work now.
Use modern AC_INIT (except when the example is meant to be
shown with Autoconf 2.13).
Update ksh info for Solaris 9 and later.
KB -> kB.
Modernize description of Automake versions a bit.
Don't claim a future version of Autoconf is near.
Add [] to examples, so that the manual
follows its own advice about quoting better.
* doc/install.texi: Reword to avoid some formatting glitches.
expression of unbounded size when processing the --list
option. This runs afoul of a limit of 399 bytes per regular
expression on AIX. Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Reword example
for multiline stdbool replacement.
(Setting Output Variables): Reword text a bit. Don't
give all the details about |#_!!_#|.
Reword description of line replacement.
now contain newlines, and substituted files must be referenced on
a line alone; the sed scripts to substitute them are now very
different.
(_AC_SED_CMD_LIMIT): Added; single place to store limit on how many
commands can be put in a sed script portably.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Document above
changes. (Particular Header Checks) <AC_HEADER_STDBOOL>: Give exaple
use of multiline substitution.
* tests/torture.at: No longer expect substitution of newline to fail.
