2005-05-13	Implement new "if... else if... endif" semantics.	Paul Smith	1	-5/+21

2005-05-08	Document the secondary expansion method. Also, some other documentation	Paul Smith	1	-58/+239
	cleanups. If we find a make error (invalid makefile syntax or something like that) write back any tokens we have before we exit. If we have waiting jobs (using -j + -l) set an alarm before we sleep on the read() system call, so we can wake up to check the load and start waiting jobs, if there are long-running jobs we would otherwise be waiting for. Suggested by Grant Taylor.
2005-05-03	Fix problems with losing tokens in the jobserver, reported by Grant	Paul Smith	1	-6/+61
	Taylor. There are two forms of this: first, it was possible to lose tokens when using -j and -l at the same time, because waiting jobs were not checked when determining whether any jobs were outstanding. Second, if you had an exported recursive variable that contained a $(shell ...) function there is a possibility to lose tokens, since a token was taken but the child list was not updated until after the shell function was complete. To resolve this I introduced a new variable that counted the number of tokens we have obtained, rather than checking whether there were any children on the list. I also added some sanity checks to make sure we weren't writing back too many or not enough tokens. And, the master make will drain the token pipe before exiting and compare the count of tokens at the end to what was written there at the beginning. Also: * Ensure a bug in the environment (missing "=") doesn't cause make to core. * Rename the .DEFAULT_TARGET variable to .DEFAULT_GOAL, to match the terminology in the documentation and other variables like MAKECMDGOALS. * Add documentation of the .DEFAULT_GOAL special variable. Still need to document the secondary expansion stuff...

2005-02-16	Add a patch from Paul Eggert that's been lying around in my directory for	Paul Smith	1	-2/+4
	a long time, disabling stack size limits where possible. Update version to beta2.
2004-12-06	Handle build.sh in a better way (recommendation from the automake mailing	Paul Smith	1	-2/+0
	list).
2004-11-30	Implemented `realpath' and `abspath' built-in functions.	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+32

2004-11-28	Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.	Paul Smith	1	-19/+37
	POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.
2004-10-21	New $(lastword ) built-in function: implementation, documentation and tests.	Boris Kolpackov	1	-19/+43

2004-05-16	Various enhancements	Paul Smith	1	-8/+18
	- OS/2 Patches - OpenVMS updates - Sanitize the handling of -include/sinclude with and without -k - Fix the setting of $< for order-only rules.
2004-02-23	Numerous fixes: patches for OS/2; core for -f ''; makefile updates.	Paul Smith	1	-12/+10

2004-01-08	Enhancements to the documentation (fixes bugs #1772 and 4898).	Paul Smith	1	-10/+25
	Add "!" to the list of shell escape characters: POSIX sh allows it to be used to negate the return value of the command.
2003-11-03	Added MINGW32 changes.	Paul Smith	1	-16/+16
	This commits a number of changes from Earnie Boyd that allows GNU make to build for MINGW32 systems. Only missing from this commit are the changes to configure.in etc.; I'm waiting for Earnie to sign papers for those new files. Also not here is any README.mingw32 etc. which would explain how to use this port.
2003-10-22	Build fixes due to changes in the FSF web site.	Paul Smith	1	-4/+4
	Add new language support. Minor configure, etc. cleanups.
2003-07-31	Updated for autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.6, and gettext 0.12.1.	Paul Smith	1	-0/+2
	Fixed problems with the dist target (adding missing files). Workaround for a bug in gettext 0.12.1 po/Makefile.in.in where distclean wasn't cleaning everything, which caused distcheck to fail.
2003-07-19	Minor updates for Windows and OS/2.	Paul Smith	1	-8/+8

2003-05-02	- Fix bug #1405: allow multiple pattern-specific variables to match a target.	Paul Smith	1	-7/+10
	- Fix some uncleanliness about the implementation of patterns-specific vars. - Some enhancements to the OS/2 port.

2002-10-13	Fix bug#1379: don't use alloca() where it could overrun the stack size.	Paul Smith	1	-24/+42
	Implemented enhancement #1391: allow "export" in target-specific variable definitions. Change the Info name of the "Automatic" node to "Automatic Variables". Add text clarifying the scope of automatic variables to that section.
2002-09-18	Fix a bug exporting/unexporting multiple variables in one command.	Paul Smith	1	-8/+20
	Update the text about reporting bugs.
2002-09-18	Add some indexing to the manual.	Paul Smith	1	-0/+2
	Fix a few simple casting warnings, etc.

2002-09-04	Fix for complex situations where directories are declared as prerequisites.	Paul Smith	1	-12/+28
	Info on this fix from barkalow@reputation.com: thanks! Some updates/cleanups of some of the tests; added a forgotten -t test, etc.
2002-08-08	Incorporate some VMS fixes.	Paul Smith	1	-21/+39

2002-07-10	Implement SysV-style $$@ support. I looked at E.Parmelan's patch but	Paul Smith	1	-23/+36
	decided to implement this a different way, and didn't use it.
2002-07-09	Documentation and tests for order-only prerequisites.	Paul Smith	1	-2/+46
	Add a new test suite for automatic variables.
2002-07-08	Major updates in preparation for 3.80.	Paul Smith	1	-0/+10141
