characters.

Update the text about reporting bugs.

Fix a few simple casting warnings, etc.

specific variables work correctly in conjunction with double-colon
targets.

and a function return type fix for older systems.

Fix hash.h typos (only noticed when using Windows).
Update .cvsignore files.

The ones we had were weird, and failed for multiple warnings in a
single file.

  * Never use "touch" in make rules; it breaks on most sub-second
    supporting systems.  Use echo "" > $@ instead.
  * Forgot to close test makefiles before using them!

All the above worked fine on Linux but failed miserably on Solaris.

messages.

Fix bug #103: allow ifdef, export, and unexport to expand their arguments.

Info on this fix from barkalow@reputation.com: thanks!

Some updates/cleanups of some of the tests; added a forgotten -t test, etc.

Makefile.am.

Invent a new macro HAVE_DOS_PATHS and change various instances of:
  #if defined(WINDOWS) || defined(__MSDOS__)
to use the new macro instead.  This should help make the OS/2 port
cleaner, as well.
Invent a cvs-clean maintainer target that tries to get the workspace
back to the state it was in after a CVS checkout.
New language.

Update to require new gettext.
Change hash.c to by K&R.
Redo some strings to make i18n simpler.

Add -B option docs.
Add .VARIABLES variable.
Add a few new tests.
Add a new translation: Swedish

GNU make.  Also he provides some other performance fixups after doing
some profiling of make on large makefiles.

Modify the test suite to allow the use of Valgrind to find memory problems.

decided to implement this a different way, and didn't use it.

Add a new test suite for automatic variables.

Incorporate "order-only" prerequisites patch.  Wrote a test for it.
The test shows what might be a bug in the code; I need to look at it
more closely (anyway it doesn't behave as I expected).  Also I haven't
done the docs yet.

New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir.
Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug
fixes, etc.  See the ChangeLog.
More to come.

properly.

Fix configure: allow cross-compilation; fix getloadavg (still needs _lots_
of work!)

Let $(call ...) functions to be self-referencing.  Lets us do transitive
closures, for example.

including creating make packages.  I'll try some other systems tomorrow.
Also added a new translation: Croatian.  Thanks!

Created a README.cvs describing the procedure.

We're using Gettext's "external" feature to avoid including the intl
code in the GNU make distribution.

Fix an assert() in an obscure use of -q
Handling of double-colon timestamp updates was broken in a bizarre way.
Store arguments to $(call ...) functions in simple variables, not recursive
variables.
