* Special targets like .POSIX are detected upon definition, ensuring that any
change in behavior takes effect immediately, before the next line is parsed.
+* When the jobserver is enabled and GNU make decides it is invoking a non-make
+ sub-process and closes the jobserver pipes, it will now add a new option to
+ the MAKEFLAGS environment variable that disables the jobserver.
+ This prevents sub-processes that invoke make from accidentally using other
+ open file descriptors as jobserver pipes. For more information see
+ https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57242 and https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62397

* A long-standing issue with the directory cache has been resolved: changes
made as a side-effect of some other target's recipe are now noticed as
expected.
