Thread: Last version of configure was built with wrong autoconf release

Last version of configure was built with wrong autoconf release

By chance I noticed that when you tagged 8.0beta2, you rebuilt configure
with autoconf 2.59.  This is not good when the rest of us are using
2.53.  We have to stick to a common standard.

We could talk about asking all committers to update to 2.59, but
mid-beta is probably not the right time for a tools changeover.

I have both installed, but neither is 'autoconf', so I took the newer one 
;(  Will keep this in mind on next beta ... sorry about that ...
