3410	make-4.0	ken@…	Matthew Burgess	"Release announcement http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.make.devel/916 - looks as if there is one thing with the potential to break some Makefiles (hopefully, not many of them) -
{{{
New feature: ""!="" shell assignment operator as an alternative to the
  $(shell ...) function.  Implemented for compatibility with BSD makefiles.
  Note there are subtle differences between ""!="" and $(shell ...).  See the
  description in the GNU make manual.
  WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
  Variables ending in ""!"" previously defined as ""variable!= value"" will now be
  interpreted as shell assignment.  Change your assignment to add whitespace
  between the ""!"" and ""="": ""variable! = value""
