The GNU M4 team is proud to announce the release of M4 1.4.15. M4 is a macro processing language, and among other uses, it is required by GNU Autoconf for generating configure scripts.
This is a stable release, and fixes several portability concerns, as well as a corner case crash possible with the `format' builtin.

First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify m4-1.4.15.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 2527436A and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.65 Automake 1.11.1 Gnulib v0.0-4189-gc0ebdfe NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 1.4.15 (2010-08-31) [stable] ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9b where the `format' builtin could crash on an invalid format string. ** Fix compilation against newer glibc, and on AIX 7.1BETA. ** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib. -- GNU M4 team Eric Blake
