A new release of m4, 1.4.3-1, is available.
NEWS
====
This is a new upstream release. From the NEWS file, the changes since
1.4.2 are:
Version 1.4.3 - March 2005, by Gary V. Vaughan
* DESTDIR installs now work correctly.
* Don't segfault with uncompilable regexps to changeword().
* Always use \n line-endings for frozen files (fixes a cygwin bug).
* Portability fix for systems lacking mkstemp(3).
* Approximately 20% speed up in the common case of usage with autoconf.
* Supported on QNX 6.3.
You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword
feature enabled, as enabling it slows down normal operation.
DESCRIPTION
===========
m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is
mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example,
handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has
built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing
arithmetic, etc.
UPDATE
======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'm4' from the 'Interpreters' category.
DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest
to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.
