Pesch for providing me with reports. + + * The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of + eval. + + * The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls + (allows use of "illegal" macro names). + + * The debugging and tracing facilities has been enhanced + considerably. See the manual for details. + + * The -tMACRO option is added, marks MACRO for tracing as soon + as it is defined. + + * Builtins are traced after renaming iff they were before. + + * Named files can now be undiverted. + + * The -Nnum option can be used to increase the number of + divertions available. + + * Calling changecom without arguments now disables all comment + handling. + + * The function m4_patsubst() is now consistently declared + static. + + * A bug in dnl is fixed. + + * A bug in the multi-character quoting code is fixed. + + * Several typos in the manual has been corrected. More probably + persist. + + * The m4.info file is now installed along with the program. + +Thu Nov 15 21:51:06 1990 Rene' Seindal (seindal at diku.dk) + + * Updated and enhanced version. Release 0.75, manual 0.07. + + * Implemented search path for include files (-I option and + M4PATH envronment variable). + + * Implemented builtin "format" for printf-like formatting. + + * Implemented builtin "regexp" for searching for regular + expressions. + + * Implemented builtin "patsubst" for substitution with regular + expressions. + + * Implemented builtin "esyscmd", which expands to a shell + commands output. + + * Implemented "__file__" and "__line__" for use in error + messages. + + * Implemented character ranges in "translit". + + * Implemented control over debugging output. + + * Implemented multi-character quotes. + + * Implemented multi-character comment delimiters. + + * Changed predefined macro "gnu" to "__gnu__". + + * Changed predefined macro "unix" to "__unix__", when the -G + option is not used. With -G, "unix" is still defined. + + * Changed "shift", "$@" and "$*" to not insert spaces afters + commas. + + * Added program name to error messages. + + * Fixed two missing null bytes bugs. + +Mon Jan 22 21:08:52 1990 Rene' Seindal (seindal at diku.dk) + + * Initial beta release.
