Hi all;

I've released GNU make 3.81beta3.  Many bugs have been fixed and some
new features added.  My main immediate goal is to get everyone to test
all the ports, and especially work out what to do about the various
DOS/Windows/MINGW/OS2/MSC/etc. ports.  There are some bug fixes in this
release which need to be carefully tested on these ports, and to a
lesser extent on the VMS ports.  For example, bug #1332 has been fixed,
implementing rigorous POSIX-compliant handling of backslash-newline
pairs in command scripts.  I don't know how this will affect the
DOS/Windows/etc. ports.


I would like to concentrate on real bugs and compile errors, and not
worry about compile warnings unless they're actually causing problems.
I will spend some time on code cleanups in the next release.

I have worked out the automated upload capability for the FSF servers,
so this beta is available from the traditional place:

    ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/

SHA1 checksums for the files:

Also included are GPG signature files; you can verify them with:

    gpg --verify <.sig-file> <dist-file>


Have fun!
