A new release of m4, 1.4.14-1, is available for download, leaving 1.4.13-2
as previous.

NEWS
=3D=3D=3D=3D
This is a new upstream release, with upstream NEWS attached.  See also
/usr/share/doc/m4/.

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
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:

QUESTIONS:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

GNU M4 NEWS - User visible changes.

* Noteworthy changes in Version 1.4.14 (2010-02-24) [stable]
  Released by Eric Blake, based on git version 1.4.13.*

** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.12 where executing with stdout closed
   could crash m4 on exit on some platforms.

** Fix regressions introduced in 1.4.13 in the `esyscmd' builtin, where
   closed file descriptors could interfere with child execution, and where
   a child status of 127 made m4 print a spurious message to stderr.

** Fix a security hole in 'make dist', present since at least M4 1.4, that
   could affect anybody attempting to redistribute modified sources (see
   Automake CVE-2009-4029).

** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
