  • ALL CHANGES FROM 1.41 THROUGH HERE CONTRIBUTED BY Marc Girod.
  • BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
  • A case was reported in which changes in 1.44 broke backward compatibility, in the domain of quoting arguments. This is unfortunate, and was fixed in the critical cases (eg mkattr). However, the changes were not gratuitous, and actually fixed discrepancies between the behavior in the different modes and added e.g. support for the use of quotes inside comments. So they were not withdrawn, with the effect that total backwards compatibility was not restored.
