The exception is support for 'configure.in', that will be indeed be removed in Automake 2.0 (the name 'configure.ac' should be used instead). For the (I hope!) complete list of planned future removals and backward incompatibilities, you should read the NEWS section titled "* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!" (as present in the NEWS file for Automake 1.14). > I refer in particular to AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, AM_PROG_CC_STDC and > AM_CONFIG_HEADER macros, and the INCLUDES variable. > All planned to remain in place (albeit with proper deprecation warnings). > Are they planned for removal in 2.0 now? > Nope.
