lend itself very well to automatic merges; the recent merges of
maint into master have left it full of blunders and in a somewhat

Another orthogonal issue is that the current version of NEWS

than since the latest maintenance version 1.11.2, or, even better,
since the planned next maintenance version 1.11.3.

Attached is a patch that should fix both these issues. In addition
to that, the diffs between the updated NEWS file in master and the
NEWS file in branch-1.11 are attached as well.
I will push by this evening or tomorrow if there is no objection.

Subject: [PATCH] news: fix botched merges, rebase on 1.11.2a NEWS version
The NEWS file is unfortunately written in a format that doesn't
lend itself very well to automatic merges; the recent merges of
maint into master have left it full of blunders and in a somewhat
inconsistent state.
Another orthogonal issue is that the current version of NEWS
still reports all the changes since the last 1.11 version, rather
than since the latest maintenance version 1.11.2, or, even better,
since the planned next maintenance version 1.11.3.
* NEWS: Fix blunders and errors from botched merges. Rebase the
file on the NEWS file from branch-1.11 (from which automake 1.11.3
is expected to be released).

+New in 1.11a:
+
+* Obsolete features removed:
+
+ - Support for automatic de-ANSI-fication has been removed.
+
+ - The deprecated `lzma' compression format for distribution archives
+ has been removed, in favor of `xz' and `lzip'.
+
+ - The obsolete AM_WITH_REGEX macro has been removed.
+
+ - The deprecated options `--output-dir', `--Werror' and `--Wno-error'
+ have been removed.
+
+* New targets:
+
+ - New `cscope' target to build a cscope database for the source tree.
+
+* Changes to Automake-generated testsuite harnesses:
+
+ - Test scripts that exit with status 99 to signal an "hard error" (e.g.,
+ and unexpected or internal error, or a failure to set up the test case
+ scenario) have their outcome reported as an 'ERROR' now. Previous
+ versions of automake reported such an outcome as a 'FAIL' (the only
+ difference with normal failures being that hard errors were counted
+ as failures even when the test originating them was listed in
+ XFAIL_TESTS).
+
+ - The testsuite summary displayed by the parallel-test harness has a
+ completely new format, that always list the numbers of passed, failed,
+ xfailed, xpassed, skipped and errored tests, even when these numbers
+ are zero (but using smart coloring when the color-tests option is in
+ effect).
+
+ - The default testsuite driver offered by the 'parallel-tests' option is
+ now implemented (partly at least) with the help of automake-provided
+ auxiliary scripts (e.g., `test-driver'), instead of relying entirely
+ on code in the generated Makefile.in.
+ This has two noteworthy implications. The first one is that projects
+ using the `parallel-tests' option should now either run automake with
+ the `--add-missing' option, or manually copy the `test-driver' script
+ into their tree. The second, and more important, implication is that
+ now, when the `parallel-tests' option is in use, TESTS_ENVIRONMENT can
+ not be used anymore to define a test runner, and the command specified
+ in LOG_COMPILER (and <ext>_LOG_COMPILER) must be a *real* executable
+ program or script. For example, this is still a valid usage (albeit
+ a little contorted):
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ if test -n '$(STRICT_TESTS)'; then \
+ maybe_errexit='-e'; \
+ else \
+ maybe_errexit=''; \
+ fi;
+ LOG_COMPILER = $(SHELL) $$maybe_errexit
+
+ while this is not anymore:
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ $(SHELL) `test -n '$(STRICT_TESTS_CHECKING)' && echo ' -e'`
+
+ neither is this:
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ run_with_perl_or_shell () \
+ { \
+ if grep -q '^#!.*perl' $$1; then
+ $(PERL) $$1; \
+ else \
+ $(SHELL) $$1; \
+ fi; \
+ }
+ LOG_COMPILER = run_with_per_or_shell
+
+ - The package authors can now use customary testsuite drivers within
+ the framework provided by the 'parallel-tests' testsuite harness.
+ Consistently with the existing syntax, this can be done by defining
+ special makefile variables `LOG_DRIVER' and `<ext>_LOG_DRIVER'.
+
+ - A new developer-reserved variable `AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT' can be used
+ to redirect/define file descriptors used by the test scripts.
+
+ - The parallel-tests harness generates now, in addition the `.log' files
+ holding the output produced by the test scripts, a new set of `.trs'
+ files, holding "metadata" derived by the execution of the test scripts;
+ among such metadata are the outcomes of the test cases run by a script.
+
+ - Initial and still experimental support for the TAP test protocol is
+ now provided.
+
+* Miscellaneous changes:
+
+ - The `dist' and `dist-all' targets now can run compressors in parallel.
+
+ - Automake can now generate silenced rules for texinfo outputs.
+
+ - Some auxiliary files that are automatically distributed by Automake
+ (e.g., `install-sh', or the `depcomp' script for packages compiling
+ C sources) might now be listed in the DIST_COMMON variable in many
+ Makefile.in files, rather than in the top-level one.
