NEWS ==== This is a new upstream release. From the NEWS file, the changes since 1.4.9 are listed below, the biggest of which is a change to GPLv3. See also /usr/share/doc/m4-1.4.10/. You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword feature enabled, as using it can slow down normal operation, and since it will disappear from the eventual m4 2.0. 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 volunteer cygwin m4 maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

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. Version 1.4.9b - 29 May 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.9a) * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9 in the `eval' builtin when performing division. * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.8 in the `-F' option that made it impossible to freeze more than 512 kibibytes of diverted text. * The synclines option `-s' no longer generates sync lines in the middle of multiline comments or quoted strings. * Work around a number of corner-case POSIX compliance bugs in various broken stdio libraries. In particular, the `syscmd' builtin behaves more predictably when stdin is seekable. * The `format' builtin now understands formats such as %a, %A, and %'hhd, and works around a number of platform printf bugs. Furthermore, the sequence format(%*.*d,-1,-1,1) no longer outputs random data. However, some non-compliant platforms such as mingw still have known bugs in strtod that may cause testsuite failures. * The testsuite is improved to also run gnulib portability tests for the features that M4 imports from gnulib. --------------080500000904030608010808 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -- 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/ --------------080500000904030608010808--
