I'm pleased to announce the release of Automake 1.9.5.
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's
suitable for use with Autoconf, compliant with the GNU Makefile
standards, and portable to various make implementations.
This is a bug-fix release, the list of bugs fixed since 1.9.3
(the last release announced on info-gnu) is appended.
You can find the new release here:

Please report bugs to <bug-automake@xxxxxxx>.
Bugs fixed in 1.9.5:
* Longstanding bugs:
- All m4 files have been relicensed under an all-permissive license.
Previously they used a GPL license, and an all-permissive license
was prepended when they were copied into aclocal.m4, leading to
some confusion.
- aclocal now recognizes AU_ALIAS.
- Improve support for `make -k', it didn't work on cygwin.
- Fix the definition of FCLINK for preprocessed Fortran.
- Fixes for auxiliary scripts:
- depcomp's tru64 mode did not work while compiling libtool libraries
with static libraries disabled.
- mdate-sh now copes with Darwin's non-standard ls output.
- missing properly emulates makeinfo when neither -o nor
@setfilename are used.
- Don't output long variable definitions. Automake normally tries
to output variable definitions as they are input, bug very long
lines in Makefile.in can break some sed and make implementations
with a limited line length. If a line in a variable definition is
longer than 1000 characters, automake will wrap the definition
around 80 columns. Other definitions are still output untouched.
* Noteworthy manual updates:
- Hard-Coded Install Paths: New FAQ entry.
- How the Linker is Chosen: Rewritten.
Bugs fixed in 1.9.4:
* Longstanding bugs:
- Portability nits in install-sh and mdate-sh.
- Don't let `make install' fails if a _JAVA primary becomes empty
because of conditionals.
- Do not confuse CHANGELOG with ChangeLog on case-insensitive
case-preserving file systems (likewise for all automatically
distributed files).
- Do not embed $DESTDIR in Python's byte-code files.
- Work around programs that read stdin when checking for --version
and --help options (when the `std-options' is used).
- Fix AM_PATH_PYTHON to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no minimum
version was supplied and no interpreter is found.
* Noteworthy manual updates:
- Conditional Subdirectories: more comments about non-distributed
subdirectories.
- Flag Variables Ordering: new FAQ entry.
- Per-Object Flags: new FAQ entry.
