- Remove spec file and rpm build target.
- Do not create a gzip tarball.
- Never use xdt-autogen in autogen.sh.

=====
- Also support the newer AC_CONFIG_HEADERS macro.
- Add XDT_FEATURE_VISIBILITY to check for and enable symbol visibility
  support (only useful for building libraries).
- Add XDT_FEATURE_LINKER_OPTS that checks for and enables useful linker
  optimizations if supported.  This currently only checks for
  --as-needed and -O1, but more may be added in the future.
- Beef up XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG:
  * Add new 'minimum' debug level, which is now the default and behaves
    similarly to the old 'no' default.
  * Debug level 'no' disables many glib/gobject-related checks and
    asserts (this is not really recommended).
  * Debug level 'full' disables code optimization.
  * The macro now takes an argument to specify the default debug level.

4.7.0
=====
- Do @REVISION@ and @LINGUAS@ substitutions in xdt-autogen instead of
  requiring people to put it in their autogen.sh files.

- Added ability for autogen.sh scripts to set an environment
  variable XDT_AUTOGEN_REQUIRED_VERSION to depend on a particular version
  of xdt-autogen.
- Add a bunch more compiler warnings for --enable-debug, and a new macro
  XDT_SUPPORTED_FLAGS() that tests whether the compiler supports particular
  option flags.

4.6.0
=====
- Replace grep -P with awk and thus make the script more portable. Properly 
  detect changed ChangeLogs in SVN. This should get rid the empty lines when 
  committing several changed ChangeLogs (bug #4716). 

4.5.93
======
- Remove unreliable and not really needed intltool auto-patch.

4.5.92
======
- Add support for git (and git-svn) to the xdt-commit script (bug 4491).

4.5.91
======
- Don't try to patch intltool-merge.in for intltool 0.40.x: 0.40.4+ has
  a fix for the bug, and 0.40.x earlier than that aren't patchable as they
  run systemwide versions of the scripts.

4.5.90
======
- Add intltool-merge.in patch to xdt-autogen.in to fix merging translations
  to .desktop keys that have dashes in them.

4.4.2
=====

  on the fly.

  XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG().
- The version number is displayed properly now when a required package is
  not found in XDT_CHECK_PACKAGE().
