autoconf-2.72 released

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2023

We are pleased to announce stable release 2.72 of GNU Autoconf.

2.72 consists largely of bug fixes. The most significant changes are

support for the upcoming 2024 edition of the C standard (aka âC23â)

and a mechanism for enabling 64-bit time_t on 32-bit platforms

(--enable-year2038). See the NEWS below for a brief summary.

There have been 171 commits by 17 people in the 151 weeks since 2.71.
