Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):
New in 1.18 (2025-05-25):
New features added
- Default tar format is now ustar, mainly to support longer filenames;
the tar-v7 and other explicit options to force a particular tar
format are unchanged and still override the default.
- The mdate-sh auxiliary script generally used with Texinfo now uses
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, if set, instead of the source file's mtime.
- New option dist-bzip3 for bzip3 compression of distributions.
- New option --stderr-prefix for tap-driver.sh, to prefix each line of
stderr from a test script with a given string.
- Support for Algol 68 added, based on the GNU Algol 68 compiler.
Bugs fixed
- Do not make Perl warnings fatal, per Perl's recommendation.
- Avoid Perl 5.41.8+ precedence warning for use of !!.
- a Perl path containing whitespace now emits a warning instead of
an error, so ./configure PERL='/usr/bin/env perl' can work.
- The py-compile script once again does nothing (successfully) if the
PYTHON environment variable is set to ":", or anything that isn't a
Python interpreter (according to $PYTHON -V). Exception: if PYTHON
is set to "false", do nothing but exit unsuccessfully, also to match
previous behavior.
- The no-dist-built-sources Automake option now operates (hopefully) as
intended, i.e., omits the dependency on $(BUILT_SOURCES) for the
distdir target.
- Only warn about install.sh being found, instead of it being a fatal
error.
- The compile script is more robust to Windows configurations;
specifically, avoids double-path translation on MSYS.
- The test infrastructure sets the CONFIG_SITE environment variable to
/dev/null, to avoid the local system's Autoconf site defaults from
breaking the test environment.
- AM_SILENT_RULES once again always ends with a newline.
- AM_SANITY_CHECK now outputs "no" on failure, so that a complete line
is written to stdout before the error message is written to stderr.
Miscellaneous changes
- Only require the presence of an ABOUT-NLS file at the 'gnits'
strictness level.
