NEWS ==== This is a new upstream release. From the NEWS file, the changes since 1.4.2 are: Version 1.4.3 - March 2005, by Gary V. Vaughan * DESTDIR installs now work correctly. * Don't segfault with uncompilable regexps to changeword(). * Always use \n line-endings for frozen files (fixes a cygwin bug). * Portability fix for systems lacking mkstemp(3). * Approximately 20% speed up in the common case of usage with autoconf. * Supported on QNX 6.3. You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword feature enabled, as enabling it slows down normal operation. DESCRIPTION =========== m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. UPDATE ====== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'm4' from the 'Interpreters' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCU9hO84KuGfSFAYARAuEnAKDWmZx5c0suw8Sadu2nrU3jIAfclACfZlUP GVULjdKQhuyVpO7U+p4LIbk= =m0Yk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
