"This much-needed, bug-fixing release comes after a year and a half of stalling and inactivity in the Automake development. The main motivation for this release is to remove some warnings that were appearing due to the deprecation of features in Perl and gzip latest versions."
New in 1.15.1:
* Bugs fixed:
- The code has been adapted to remove a warning present since Perl
5.22 stating that "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated".
This warning has become an hard error in Perl 5.26 (bug#22372).
- The generated Makefiles do not rely on the obsolescent GZIP
environment variable which was used for passing arguments to
'gzip'. Compatibility with old versions has been
preserved. (bug#20132)
* Miscellaneous changes:
- Support the Windows version of the Intel C Compiler (icl) in the
'compile' script in the same way the (compatible) Microsoft C
Compiler is supported.
