+Version 3.76
+
+* VPATH functionality has been changed to incorporate the VPATH+ patch,
+  previously maintained by Paul Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>.  See the
+  manual.
+
+* Make defines a new variable, `MAKECMDGOALS', to contain the goals that
+  were specified on the command line, if any.  Modifying this variable
+  has no effect on the operation of make.
+
+* A new function, `$(wordlist S,E,TEXT)', is available: it returns a
+  list of words from number S to number E (inclusive) of TEXT.
+
+* Instead of an error, detection of future modification times gives a
+  warning and continues.
+
+* Fix the $(basename) and $(suffix) functions so they only operate on
+  the last filename, not the entire string:
+
+      Command              Old Result             New Result
+      -------              ----------             ----------
+    $(basename a.b)        a                      a
+    $(basename a.b/c)      a                      a.b/c
+    $(suffix a.b)          b                      b
+    $(suffix a.b/c)        b/c                    <empty>
+
+* Updates to the Windows 95/NT port from Rob Tulloh (see README.W32).
+
+* Eli Zaretskii has updated the port to 32-bit protected mode on MSDOS
+  and MS-Windows, building with the DJGPP v2 port of GNU C/C++ compiler
+  and utilities.  See README.DOS for details, and direct all questions
+  concerning this port to Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> or DJ
+  Delorie <dj@delorie.com>.
