A new release of the GNU Autoconf Archive is available for download.
Here are the compressed sources:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.gz (1.1MB)
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.bz2 (752KB)
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.xz (504KB)
Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.gz.sig
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.bz2.sig
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify autoconf-archive-2012.09.08.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 99089D72
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.12.2
Gnulib v0.0-7615-gd8d412c
NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 2012.09.08 (2012-09-08) [stable]
AX_BLAS has been extended to detect the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7807> for further details.
Several bugs and inconsistencies in AX_TRY_RUN_JAVA, AX_PROG_JAVA_WORKS,
AX_CHECK_CLASS, and AX_PROG_JAVA have been fixed. See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7835> for further details.
AX_INCLUDE_STRCASECMP has been added. The macro detects which header file
defines the strcasecmp() function. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7836>
for further details.
AX_LIB_ORACLE_OCCI has been added. The macro detects the availability of the
Oracle OCCI API of particular version or newer. Further details can be found
at <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7834>.
AX_CHECK_POSTGRES_DB has been substantially re-written. The default behavior
is unchanged, but there are two new (optional) arguments ACTION-IF-FOUND and
ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7832> for further
details.
AX_CXX_RVALUE_REFERENCES has been added. See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7833> for further details.
AX_BLAS has been extended to support for the (free-software, BSD-licensed)
OpenBLAS library, a descendant of GotoBLAS
<http://xianyi.github.com/OpenBLAS/>. See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7828> for further details.
The reliability of AX_BOOST_SYSTEM and AX_BOOST_FILESYSTEM has been improved.
See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7816> for further details.
The new entry AX_ZONEINFO has been added. Further details are available at
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?7814>.
AX_CHECK_ZLIB has been updated significantly:
- The behavior was changed so that the macro proceeds to compile and link
tests even if zlib.h was not found in the "usual locations".
- The macro interface has been extend to the typical ([action-if-found],
[action-if-not-found])-style.
- Previous versions used to search zlib in "usual locations" only if
--with-zlib was provided [by user]. Now, the macro performs that search in
default mode, too.
See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-archive-maintainers/2012-07/msg00005.html>
for further details.
The new macro AX_PRINTF_SIZE_T has been added which can be used to check for
the appropriate printf() format string modifier to use with a size_t
argument. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7787> for further details.
A bug has been fixed in the Intel MKL library test of AX_BLAS. See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7770> for further details.
AX_BOOST_SERIALIZATION has been improved to support for MacOS/BSD sed.
Further details can be found at <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7768>.
