[Devil-linux-software] GNU m4 1.4.14 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 1.4.14 of GNU m4 on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

A security issue in "make dist", reported as CVE-2009-4029, was resolved. The
new "-g"/"--gnu" command-line option now overrides "-G"/"--traditional", in
preparation for not supporting GNU extensions and behaving POSIXly correct
without it. The "-L"/"--nesting-limit" command-line option now defaults to 0 for
unlimited on platforms that can detect and deal with stack overflow. The
"--debugfile" command line option now defaults to stderr. The input engine was
optimized for faster processing. Several performance improvements were made.
Several portability issues and regressions were resolved.

Project description:

GNU m4 is an implementation of the traditional
Unix macro processor. It is mostly SVR4
compatible, although it has some extensions (for
example, handling more than 9 positional
parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has built-in
functions for including files, running shell
commands, doing arithmetic, etc. Autoconf needs
GNU m4 for generating `configure' scripts, but not
for running them.
