-New in 1.9a:
+New in 1.9b:
 
-  - Autoconf 2.60 is required.
+* Version requirements:
+
+  - Autoconf 2.60 or greater is required.
 
   - Perl 5.6 or greater is required.
 
+* Changes to aclocal:
+
+  - aclocal now also supports -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble options.
+
+  - `dirlist' entries (for the aclocal search path) may use shell
+    wildcards such as `*', `?', or `[...]'.
+
+  - aclocal supports an --install option, that will cause system-wide
+    third-party macros to be installed in the local directory
+    specified with the first -I flag.  This option also uses #serial
+    lines in M4 files to upgrade local macros.
+
+    The new aclocal options --dry-run and --diff help to review changes
+    before they are installed.
+
+  - aclocal now outputs an autoconf version check in aclocal.m4 in
+    projects using automake.
+
+    For a few years, automake and aclocal have been calling autoconf
+    (or its underlying engine autom4te) to accurately retrieve the
+    data they need from configure.ac and its siblings.  Doing so can
+    only work if all autotools use the same version of autoconf.  For
+    instance a Makefile.in generated by automake for one version of
+    autoconf may stop working if configure is regenerated with another
+    version of autoconf, and vice versa.
+
+    This new version check ensures that the whole build system has
+    been generated using the same autoconf version.
+
+* Support for new Autoconf macros:
+
   - The new AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE Autoconf macro is supported.
 
+  - If `subdir-objects' is set, and AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR is specified,
+    $(LIBOBJS), $(LTLIBOBJS), $(ALLOCA), and $(LTALLOCA) can be used
+    in different directories.
+
+* Change to Libtool support:
+
+  - Libtool generic flags (those that go before the --mode=MODE option)
+    can be specified using AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS and target_LIBTOOLFLAGS.
+
+* Yacc and Lex changes:
+
   - The rebuild rules for distributed Yacc and Lex output will avoid
     overwriting existing files if AM_MAINTAINER_MODE and maintainer-mode
     is not enabled.
 
+  - ylwrap is now always used for lex and yacc source files,
+    regardless of whether there is more than one source per-directory.
+
+* Languages changes:
+
   - Preprocessed assembler (*.S) compilation now honnors CPPFLAGS,
     AM_CPPFLAGS and per-target _CPPFLAGS, and supports dependency
     tracking, unlike non-preprocessed assembler (*.s).
 
-  - Libtool generic flags (those that go before the --mode=MODE option)
-    can be specified using AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS and target_LIBTOOLFLAGS.
-
-  - aclocal now also supports -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble options.
-
-  - aclocal supports an --install option, that will cause system-wide
-    third-party macros to be installed in the local directory
-    specified with the first -I flag.  This option also uses #serial
-    lines in M4 files to upgrade local macros.
+  - Improved support for Objective C:
+    - Autoconf's new AC_PROG_OBJC will enable automatic dependency tracking.
+    - A new section of the manual documents the support.
 
-    The new aclocal options --dry-run and --diff help to review changes
-    before they are installed.
+  - New support for Unified Parallel C:
+    - AM_PROG_UPC looks for a UPC compiler.
+    - A new section of the manual documents the support.
 
   - Per-target flags are now correctly handled in link rules.
