downloadautoconf-archive-b5699ba50b088f6f5512bc7c3b83ec6fb1cd49ab.tar.gz

+ submit patches as Pull Requests instead of having to go through Savannah's
+ patch tracker.

+ The Archive no longer creates release tarballs compressed with gzip and
+ bzip2; only tarballs compressed with xz and lzip are distributed.
