[*] 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 automake-1.16.2.tar.xz.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 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

NEWS
* New features added
- add zstd support and the automake option, dist-zstd.
* Miscellaneous changes
- automake no longer requires a @setfilename in each .texi file
* Bugs fixed
- When cleaning the compiled python files, '\n' is not used anymore in the
substitution text of 'sed' transformations. This is done to preserve
compatibility with the 'sed' implementation provided by macOS which
considers '\n' as the 'n' character instead of a newline.
(automake bug#31222)
- For make tags, lisp_LISP is followed by the necessary space when
used with CONFIG_HEADERS.
(automake bug#38139)
- The automake test txinfo-vtexi4.sh no longer fails when localtime
and UTC cross a day boundary.
- Emacsen older than version 25, which require use of
byte-compile-dest-file, are supported again.
