- On non-cygwin Windows systems, we now lookup potential library
file names without regard to file name case.
+ - The old testsuite now uses the `parallel-tests' Automake test driver
+ now for more concurrency and better test logging. For this, tests are
+ run in verbose mode by default now.
+
+* Important incompatible changes:
+
+ - Autoconf 2.62 and Automake 1.11.1 or newer are now required for building
+ Libtool. For using Libtool in your own projects, Autoconf 2.59 and
+ Automake 1.9.6 should still work.
* Changes in supported systems or compilers:
+
- Initial support for the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler, with help from
the compile script in unreleased Automake 1.12. Override the manifest
tool used to embed the manifest resource through the environment
