Version <next>
+* A new feature exists: order-only prerequisites. These prerequisites
+ affect the order in which targets are built, but they do not impact
+ the rebuild/no-rebuild decision of their dependents. That is to say,
+ they allow you to require target B be built before target A, without
+ requiring that target A will always be rebuilt if target B is updated.
+ Patch for this feature provided by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
+
* A new function is defined: $(quote ...). The argument to this
function is the _name_ of a variable. The result of the function is
the value of the variable, without having been expanded.
