Automake 1.5b is available. This is a prerelease. You can get it here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5b.tar.bz2 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5b.tar.gz >From the NEWS file: * Autoconf 2.52 is required. * `dist' generates all the archive flavors, as did `dist-all'. * `dist-gzip' generates the Gzip tar file only. * Combining Automake Makefile conditionals no longer lead to a combinatorial explosion. Makefile.in's keep a reasonable size. * AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_STRTOD, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_PTRDIFF_T are no longer shipped, since Autoconf 2.52 provides them (both as AM_ and AC_). * `#line' of Lex and Yacc files are properly set. * EXTRA_DIST can contain generated directories. * Support for dot-less extensions in suffix rules. * The part of the distcheck target that checks whether distclean actually cleans all built files has been moved in a separate target, distcleancheck, so it can be overridden easily. * `make distcheck' will pass additional options defined in $(DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to configure. * Fixed CDPATH portability problems, in particular for MacOS X. * Fixed handling of nobase_ targets. * Fixed support of implicit rules leading to .lo objects. * Fixed late inclusion of --add-missing files (e.g. depcomp) in DIST_COMMON Akim Demaille and Alexandre Duret-Lutz really did the work on this release, so hats off to them.
