The autoconf package has been updated to version 6. Recall that this package is not the real autoconf, but is a wrapper system to delegate to the appropriate version of real autoconf (either 2.13 or 2.63 at present).
This is a feature enhancement and compatibility update, which adds support for the autoconf2.5-2.63 release. This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7; the only differences between this package and the simultaneously-released autoconf-6-1 for cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references cygport-0.9.2 and cygwin-1.7.0-30, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.0 and 0.9.2). Changes (autoconf-4-1 ---> autoconf-6-10) * Fork from cygwin-1.5 package development stream * update to latest upstream release + adds support for autoconf-2.62 and autoconf-2.63 -- Charles Wilson autoconf volunteer maintainer for cygwin
