Version 0.99 of GNU m4 is now available from prep.ai.mit.edu.  It
includes several bug fixes and some extra functionality, mostly for
debugging and tracing.

If there are bugs or inconveniences, I would like to hear about it.
I would especially appreciate comments and corrections to the manual,
including spelling and grammar.

Bug reports and comments should be sent to seindal@diku.dk or the
gnu.bug.utils newsgroup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from version 0.75 to 0.99 are:

	* The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of
	  eval.

	* The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls
	  (allows use of "illegal" macro names).

	* The debugging and tracing facilities has been enhanced
	  considerably.  See the manual for details.

	* The -tMACRO option is added, marks MACRO for tracing as soon
	  as it is defined.

	* Builtins are traced after renaming iff they were before.

	* Named files can now be undiverted.

	* The -Nnum option can be used to increase the number of
	  divertions available.

	* Calling changecom without arguments now disables all comment
	  handling.

	* The function m4_patsubst() is now consistently declared
	  static.

	* A bug in dnl is fixed.

	* A bug in the multi-character quoting code is fixed.

	* Several typos in the manual has been corrected.  More probably
	  persist.

	* The m4.info file is now installed along with the program.
