+ o Minor features (compilation):
+ - Note our minimum required autoconf/automake versions in the
+ appropriate locations. Closes ticket 17732.
+
+ o Dependency updates:
+ - Tor now uses Autoconf version 2.63 or later, and Automake 1.11 or later
+ (released in 2008 and 2009 respectively). If you are building Tor from
+ the git repository instead of from the source distribution, and your
+ tools are older than this, you will need to upgrade.
+ Closes ticket 17732.
