+
+* VPATH functionality has been changed to incorporate the VPATH+ patch,
+ previously maintained by Paul Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>. See the
+ manual.
+
+* Make defines a new variable, `MAKECMDGOALS', to contain the goals that
+ were specified on the command line, if any. Modifying this variable
+ has no effect on the operation of make.
+
+* A new function, `$(wordlist S,E,TEXT)', is available: it returns a
+ list of words from number S to number E (inclusive) of TEXT.
+
+* Instead of an error, detection of future modification times gives a
+ warning and continues.
+
+* Fix the $(basename) and $(suffix) functions so they only operate on
+ the last filename, not the entire string:
+
+ Command Old Result New Result
+ ------- ---------- ----------
+ $(basename a.b) a a
+ $(basename a.b/c) a a.b/c
+ $(suffix a.b) b b
+ $(suffix a.b/c) b/c <empty>
+
+* Updates to the Windows 95/NT port from Rob Tulloh (see README.W32).
+
+* Eli Zaretskii has updated the port to 32-bit protected mode on MSDOS
+ and MS-Windows, building with the DJGPP v2 port of GNU C/C++ compiler
+ and utilities. See README.DOS for details, and direct all questions
+ concerning this port to Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> or DJ
+ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>.
