Subject: [Automake-NG] [FYI] NG-NEWS: adjust w.r.t. recent changes in Automake master
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2012 00:38:01 +0100

The next version of Automake (1.14) is planned to drop few obsolete
features that have already been removed in Automake-NG.  There is
thus no need to list this dropped features in our NG-NEWS file (as
Automake-NG will certainly see no stable release before Automake
1.14 is out).

-* Support for the long-deprecated name 'configure.in' for the Autoconf

 * If the sources for a target library like 'libfoo.a' or 'libbar.la' are
   not explicitly specified, mainline Automake looks also (respectively)
   for the files 'libfoo_a.c' or 'libbar_la.c' as possible default sources.

   Similarly, the $(mkinstallscripts) make variable is not defined anymore;
   one should use $(MKDIR_P) instead.
 
-* The $(INCLUDES) variable is not anymore passed to the invocations of
-  compilers with a C-like preprocessing step (as are for example C, C++,
-  Objective C, preprocessed assembler ...).  One should just use
-  $(AM_CPPFLAGS) instead, which has been supported and recommended for
-  a long time.
-
-* Support for DJGPP, Windows 95/98/ME and MS-DOS has been removed.
-  Of course, MinGW/MSYS and Cygwin on Windows 2000 and later are still
-  fully supported.
-
-* Automake-generated Makefiles assume the target systems always support
-  file names starting with a dot; accordingly, the internal m4 macro
-  'AM_SET_LEADING_DOT' and AC_SUBST'd variable 'am__leading_dot' have
-  been removed.
-
 * The Automake-defined internal make variable '$(ACLOCAL_M4)' has been
   renamed to '$(am.remake.aclocal-m4)', and should be considered an
   internal detail.
