** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
-* Noteworthy changes in Version 1.4.10b (2008年02月25日) [beta]
- Released by Eric Blake, based on git version 1.4.10a
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.4.17 (2013年09月17日) [stable]
-Note that M4 1.4.10b was released prior to 1.4.11, and includes all the
-features of 1.4.11 except for C99 parsing in the `format' builtin. It also
-contains the following beta features that were deemed worth deferring until
-1.6:
+** Fix compilation with newer glibc headers.
-** Further enhance the `index' builtin to often achieve sublinear results.
+** Fix a failure with diverting large amounts of text on mingw (does
+ not affect platforms that can rename an open file).
-** Enhance the `regexp' and `patsubst' builtins to cache frequently used
- regular expressions, which speeds up typical Autoconf usage.
+** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
-** Enhance the `format' builtin to warn for more suspicious usages, such as
- missing arguments or problems parsing according to the format string.
-** Enhance the `ifelse' and `shift' builtins so that tail-recursive
- algorithms based on `$@' operate in linear, rather than quadratic, time
- and memory.
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.4.16 (2011年03月01日) [stable]
+
+** Fix regressions in the `index' builtin. On glibc platforms, this
+ avoids false positives from a strstr bug in glibc 2.9 through 2.12;
+ on many other platforms, it fixes two separate regressions, a false
+ positive introduced in 1.4.11 and a false negative in 1.4.15.

+** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
+
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.4.15 (2010年08月31日) [stable]
+
+** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9b where the `format' builtin could
+ crash on an invalid format string.
+
+** Fix compilation against newer glibc, and on AIX 7.1BETA.
