Noteworthy changes in release 2016.03.20

Item posted by Peter Simons <simons> on Sun 20 Mar 2016 12:38:12 PM UTC.

The following new macros have been added: AX_CHECK_GIRS_GJS, AX_CHECK_GIR_SYMBOLS_GJS, AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX, AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_14, AX_CZMQ, AX_FC_CHECK_DEFINE, AX_LIB_NETCDF4, AX_PROG_GJS, AX_RESTORE_FLAGS_WITH_PREFIX, AX_SAVE_FLAGS_WITH_PREFIX, AX_VAR_POP, AX_VAR_PUSH, and AX_ZMQ.

Various improvements to the opengl macros. Main features added: - Support action-if-found and not-found hook - Export HAVE_GL, HAVE_GLU, and HAVE_GLUT preprocessor symbol - Add necessary flags to CFLAGS/LIBS by default, but can be disabled by overwritting action-if-found hook. - Fail the configure script if lib not found. This feature can be disabled by overwritting action-if-not-found hook - Fix problems on Mac OSX. Been tested on Linux (Ubuntu) and OSX - Use --with-xquartz-gl instead of --with-gl=x for using X11 on OSX

Many new features were added to AX_CODE_COVERAGE and AX_PROG_DOXYGEN.

AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX now modifies $(CXX) rather than $(CXXFLAGS).

AX_PTHREAD has been updated significantly. See https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?8186 for further details.

AX_PYTHON_DEVEL now provides PYTHON_LIBS instead of PYTHON_FLAGS.

The macros related to C++11 and C++14 were extensively re-factored.
