Version 2.57-1 of the autoconf-devel package is now available.
It contains GNU autoconf-2.57, installed into /usr/autotool/devel.

GNU autoconf-2.57 provides "Bug fixes for problems with AIX linker, with 
freestanding C compilers, with GNU m4 limitations, and with obsolete 
copies of GNU documents."

Changes since 2.54-1

o update to the GNU 2.57 release
o all 174 self tests successful (3 skipped)
o Official release notes (2.54-->2.55)
   http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014496.html
o Official release notes (2.55-->2.56)

o Official release notes (2.56-->2.57)

Back when I released autoconf-2.54, I said:
 > Yes, I know autoconf-2.55 will be released later this week.  But it
 > has some significant changes relative to past autoconfs; we'll hold
 > off on that for a while, and laugh at the pain and angst on the
 > autoconf mailing list.

Since they went thru 2.55, 2.56, and 2.57 in less than a month, it 
appears that was a good decision.  But, there have been very few reports 
of new problems with 2.57 in the two weeks that it has been available, 
so I think we're safe in upgrading...

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 'autoconf-devel' from the 'Devel' category.

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.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

Please  send questions or comments to the Cygwin mailing list at:

http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use
this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.
