Bugs fixed in 1.9.6:
* Longstanding bugs:
- Correctly diagnose `#' comments following trailing backslash.
- Preserve backslashes preceding `##' lines.
- Preserve the order of items conditionally appended (+=) to variables.
- Fix support of installation directory names with spaces on systems
where mkinstalldirs cannot use `mkdir -p'.
- Avoid infinite loop in mdate-sh when TIME_STYLE is set.
- Do not output two definitions of SOURCES (an internal variable).
One was not formatted and could exceed the maximum line length of
some third-party tools (e.g., AIX 5.1 grep, breaking dependency
tracking).
- Do not empty info files when attempting to rebuild them without makeinfo.
- Be smarter when a Makefile.am references files in both "./dir" and
"dir": do not output two rules to create these directories.
(PR/461)
- Do not attempt to recover a missing *.elc file if it cannot be
created because emacs does not exist.
- Several aclocal fixes for issues occuring when configure.ac
includes some other m4 files explicitely with m4_include or m4_sinclude.
(PR/450)
- depcomp's cpp mode now understands preprocessors that output either
`#line 42 file' or `# 42 file'. (Only the latter was supported.)
* Other miscellaneous changes:
- Update the GPL, and the FSF postal address.
- Anticipate for python2.5 in AM_PATH_PYTHON.
- The manual should now compile without any warning from TeX.
