Implement new "load" directive.

2012-10-29T07:05:21Z

Provides support for dynamically loadable objects in GNU make, as a "technology preview".

Simplify copyrights using ranges of years.

2012-03-05T14:10:39Z

The new GNU Maintainer's Manual allows the use of year ranges in certain situations; take advantage of this simplification.

Modify backslash/newline handling for POSIX.

2012-03-03T18:45:08Z

We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles that relied on the GNU make behavior. The POSIX behavior doesn't seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well, so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to get the POSIX behavior. Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling. Update the test suite.

Add support for "::=" simple assignment operator.

2012-01-30T00:21:57Z

The next POSIX standard will define "::=" to have the same behavior as GNU make's ":=", so add support for this new operator.

Create a new function $(file ...)

2012-01-29T18:12:22Z

Update copyright notices.

2012-01-16T02:29:20Z

Add GNU Guile as an optional embedded scripting language for make.

2012-01-15T22:41:53Z

On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed (using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable it if so. On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for Guile support to be disabled.

Support jobserver capability on Windows systems.
