Version 4.4.1 (01 Jan 2023)
This release is primarily a bug-fix release.
A complete list of bugs fixed in this version is available here:
https://sv.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?group=make&report_id=111&fix_release_id=110&set=custom
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
In previous releases is was not well-defined when updates to MAKEFLAGS made
inside a makefile would be visible. This release ensures they are visible
immediately, even when invoking $(shell ...) functions. Also, command line
variable assignments are now always present in MAKEFLAGS, even when parsing
makefiles.
Implementation provided by Dmitry Goncharov <dgoncharov@users.sf.net>
Version 4.4 (31 Oct 2022)
