    news: support for configure.in will be dropped in future automake versions
    
    The use of configure.in as Autoconf input has been deprecated for a
    very long time in the Autoconf documentation, and the next version of
    Autoconf (2.70) will start warning about it ar runtime as well (see
    commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' or 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate
    'configure.in' as autoconf input", in the Autoconf's git repository).
    
    * NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): Update.

 * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
 
+  - Starting from either the next minor version (1.12.2) or the next major
+    version (1.13), Automake will start warning if 'configure.in' is used
+    instead of 'configure.ac' as the Autoconf input.  Future versions of
+    Automake will drop support for 'configure.in' altogether.

   - Autoconf 2.65 or later will be required by the next major Automake
     version (1.13).  Until now, Automake has required Autoconf version
     2.62 or later.
