One of our translations disappeared from the translations site so remove it.
The fdl.texi file was changed to not contain any @node entries, so add some
around it in make.texi.
Fix an uninitialized variable.
Add builtin rules for Objective C.
Add a new debug line that shows where the commands that are about to be run
were defined.
string into the strcache. As a side-effect, many more structure members and
function arguments can/should be declared const.
As mentioned in the changelog, unfortunately measurement shows that this
change does not yet reduce memory. The problem is with secondary expansion:
because of this we store all the prerequisites in the string cache twice.
First we store the prerequisite string after initial expansion but before
secondary expansion, then we store each individual file after secondary
expansion and expand_deps(). I plan to change expand_deps() to be callable
in either context (eval or snap_deps) then have non-second-expansion
targets call expand_deps() during eval, so that we only need to store that
dependency list once.
A few changes from char* to void* where appropriate, and removing of
unnecessary casts.
Much more work on const-ifying the codebase. This round involves some code
changes to make it correct. NOTE!! There will almost certainly be problems
on the non-POSIX ports that will need to be addressed after the const changes
are finished: they will need to be const-ified properly and there may need to
be some changes to allocate memory, etc. as well.
The next (last?) big push for this, still to come, is const-ifying the
filenames in struct file, struct dep, etc. This will allow us to store file
names in the string cache and finally resolve Savannah bug #15182 (make uses
too much memory), among other advantages.

Plus some from the mailing list.
Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style
pathnames.
- Add more warnings.
- Rename variables that mask out-scope vars with the same name.
- Remove all casts of return values from xmalloc, xrealloc, and alloca.
- Remove casts of the first argument to xrealloc.
- Convert all bcopy/bzero/bcmp invocations to use memcp/memmove/memset/memcmp.
Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug
in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this.
Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
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.
* New function: $(info ...)
* Disallow $(eval ...) to create prereq relationships inside command scripts
(caused core dumps)
* Try to allow more tests to succeed in Windows/DOS by sanitizing CRLF and \
* Various bug fixes and code cleanups (see the ChangeLog entry)
Implement a fix for bug # 2169: too many OSs, even major OSs like Solaris,
don't properly implement SA_RESTART: important system calls like stat() can
still fail when SA_RESTART is set. So, forget the BROKEN_RESTART config
check and get rid of atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir(), and implement
permanent wrappers for EINTR checking on various system calls (stat(),
fstat(), opendir(), and readdir() so far).
enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
GNU make. Also he provides some other performance fixups after doing
some profiling of make on large makefiles.
Modify the test suite to allow the use of Valgrind to find memory problems.
Incorporate "order-only" prerequisites patch. Wrote a test for it.
The test shows what might be a bug in the code; I need to look at it
more closely (anyway it doesn't behave as I expected). Also I haven't
done the docs yet.
New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir.
Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug
fixes, etc. See the ChangeLog.
More to come.
Fix an assert() in an obscure use of -q
Handling of double-colon timestamp updates was broken in a bizarre way.
Store arguments to $(call ...) functions in simple variables, not recursive
variables.
