'make debug=yes is now the default'
‘make debug=yes is now the default’
The default used to be 'make debug=no'; this has now been changed
to be 'make debug=yes'. To get the traditional behaviour, please
use 'make debug=no'.
'RPM support rewritten'
‘RPM support rewritten’
The RPM support has been rewritten so if you're using gnustep-make
to automatically generate RPM packages for your software, you may
want to review the process. In particular, there is no longer a
distinction between debug and non-debug packages.
'xxx_PREPROCESS_INFO_PLIST'
‘xxx_PREPROCESS_INFO_PLIST’
This variable is now obsolete and can be removed; gnustep-make
version 2 can automatically detect plists that need preprocessing.
'Framework default version'
‘Framework default version’
The default framework resource version changed from 'A' to
INTERFACE_VERSION (which is set, by default, to '0').
'Microsoft Windows updates'
‘Microsoft Windows updates’
If you are using Microsoft Windows, you probably want to check the
new installation instructions and reinstall everything.

Java tools are now installed into GNUSTEP_JAVA rather than in a
subdirectory of GNUSTEP_TOOLS.

'INSTALL_ROOT_DIR'
‘INSTALL_ROOT_DIR’
All instances of INSTALL_ROOT_DIR in user's makefiles should be
replaced with DESTDIR.
'GNUSTEP_FLATTENED'
‘GNUSTEP_FLATTENED’
All checks for GNUSTEP_FLATTENED should be updated to check the new
variable GNUSTEP_IS_FLATTENED instead, and to compare it explicitly
to 'yes' and 'no', and assume that " means 'yes'.
'./shared_obj'
‘./shared_obj’
The ./shared_obj, ./shared_debug_obj directories and similar are no
longer created. You can use ./obj instead.
