+\dt(\b(GNU m4 uses GNU Automake and GNU Autoconf for configuration.))
+
+\dd(\p(This has been long overdue, and now hit is done thanks to Erick
+Branderhorst.))

+\dt(\b(GNU m4 uses GNU gettext for internationalisation.))
+
+\dd(\p(GNU m4 now speaks several languages. Translations for
+german, french, italian, japanese, dutch, polish, romenian and swedish
+have been made.))
+
+\dt(\b(Support for multiple precision arithmetic in eval.))
+
+\dd(\p(If appropriately configured, GNU m4 can now do multiple precision
+arithmetic in the build in macro 'eval'. If not configured, GNU m4
+will use the largest integer available for its calculations.))
+
+\dt(\b(An input syntax table to change how input is parsed.))
+
+\dd(\p(A new build in macro 'changesyntax' allows finer control over how input
+characters are parsed into input tokens.  It is no possible to have
+several one character quote strings or comment delimiters, to change the
+format of macro calls, to use active characters like in TeX, and probably
+most useful, to change what input characters are treated as letters when
+looking for macro calls.)
+
+\p(See the \link(man/m4_7.html#SEC41, manual section) for more details.))
+
+\dt(\b(Support for loadable modules.))
+
+\dd(\p(GNU m4 now has rudimentary support for dynamic loading of
+compiled modules at runtime. A module can define any number of new build
+in macros, which will be indistinguishable from the standard set of
+build in macros. Modules can also override existing build in macros.)
+
+\p(Module support for GNU m4 still needs some work.)
+
+\p(See the \link(modules.htm, separate README file for modules))

+
+\dt(\b(Better control of sync-lines generation.))
+
+\dd(\p(The new build in macro 'syncoutput' allows better control of the
+generation of sync-lines.  They can no be turned on or off at
+will.))
