* Upgrade from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3 or later.
+* A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
+* Avoid undefined behavior introduced in 1.4.9b in the `format' builtin
+ when handling %c. However, this area of code has never been documented,
+ and currently does not match the POSIX behavior of printf(1), so it may
+ have further changes in the next version.

and works around a number of platform printf bugs. Furthermore, the

* The testsuite is improved to also run gnulib portability tests for the
features that M4 imports from gnulib.
