Archive-name: auto/gnu.utils.bug/GNU-Autoconf-1-2-released

GNU Autoconf 1.2, a program that produces shell scripts for
configuring software packages for various kinds of systems, is now
available by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.2.38] in the
file pub/gnu/autoconf-1.2.tar.Z.

Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that creates a
non-interactive configuration script for a package from a template
file.  The template file lists the operating system features that the
package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls, and can also contain
arbitrary shell commands.  Autoconf requires GNU m4.

Autoconf-generated configure scripts are being used by many GNU
packages currently, and will be used by more in the future.

Major changes in release 1.2:

The --srcdir option is now usually unnecessary.
Add a file containing sample comments describing CPP macros.
A comment in config.status tells which host it was configured on.
Substituted variable values can now contain commas.
Fix bugs in various feature checks.

Mail suggestions and bug reports for Autoconf to
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
