[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

How about releasing GLOBAL-4.8.7, the next version of GLOBAL, at about
the end of September?

This is NEW and ChangeLog.

NEW
        [INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
        [OTHER CHANGES]
        New options:
        * gtags: New --max-args option added.
        * gtags: New --file file-list option added.
          Gtags(1) accept a file list specified by --file option.

                % find . -type f -print >/tmp/list
                % gtags --file=/tmp/list
                or
                % find . -type f -print | gtags --file=-

        Improvement of efficiency:
        [Gtags]
        * Gtags was improved of performance by changing algorithm of
          incremental updating. Along with it, the verbose message was
          greatly changed.
        * Gtags was improved of performance by decreasing the frequency
          of the parser invoking.
          Under the influence of it, the verbose message is not necessarily
          real-time. If you dislike this behavior, use the --max-args
          option of gtags. You can control the frequency of the invoking
          with the option. With --max-args=1, the program does the same
          behavior as older version.
        [Htags]
        * Htags was improved of performance by decreasing the frequency
          of the parser invoking.
        * Htags was improved of performance by omiting flushing temporary
          files to the disk.

        Fixed bugs:
        * Htags didn't treat here document of PHP source code correctly.
          (<<<WORD)
        * Htags didn't treat HTML part of PHP source code correctly.

        Other facilities:
        * Added 'Htags Hyper-text Reference Kit'.
          The hyper-text generated by htags(1) is available from external
          programs. This kit helps you to convert the path of the source
          file into the URL in the hyper-text.
        * doc/global.txi: Added the usage of Doxygen using GLOBAL.

ChangeLog
        * Updated GNU Free Documentation License.(1.1->1.2)
        * Updated doc/texinfo.tex using texinfo-4.8.
        * BSD advertising clause was deleted, according to the declaration
          by UCB.
        * Added new module idset.
        * Added new function exec_line_limit() in env.c.
        * Added new function find_open_filelist().
        * Added new config option --with-db185-compat[=DIR].
          This is not for normal use, but for debugging.
        * Decreased use of popen() by moving the conversion from tabs to
          spaces into htags.
