[Akim Demaille]

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.misc.discuss,gnu.utils.bug as well.


Some portability issues were fixed since 1.29b, as well as some bugs:

- invalid CPP guards could be generated
- invalid characters in the input could lead to a SEGV
- `--debug' was understood as `--defines'
