Relevant/interesting changes (see ChangeLog for more):
o variables like .newline and .MAKE.{GID,PID,PPID,UID}
should be read-only.
o .[NO]READONLY: for control of read-only variables
o .SYSPATH: for controlling the path searched for makefiles
o allow for white-space between command specifiers @+-
o add more details to warning 'Extra targets ignored'
o make.1: sync list of built-in variables with reality
sort list of built-in variables
o cond.c: add more details to error message for numeric comparison
o job.c: fix handling of null bytes in output
o Allow .break to terminate a .for loop early
o var.c: fix out-of-bounds errors when parsing
o fix exit status for '-q' (since 1994)
Features of interest:
Allow setting target local variables (similar to gmake)
In META_MODE .MAKE.META.CMP_FILTER can be used for filtering commands
before comparion.
contrib/bmake/mk/cc-wrap.mk is an example of using these
See ChangeLog for the gory details.
Relevant changes see ChangeLog for details:
Add support for ${.SUFFIXES} as read-only variable.
Fix memory leak in cond.c
Punt on write errors - ENOSPC etc.
Lots of code refactoring, rework to reduce memory allocations.
More unit-tests.
Lots more unit tests and code cleanup
Relevant changes from ChangeLog
o job.c: Print -de error information when running multiple jobs
o var.c: only report error for unmatched regex subexpression
when linting (-dL) since we cannot tell when an unmatched
subexpression is an expected result.
reduce memory allocations in the modifiers ':D' and ':U'
reduce memory allocation and strlen calls in modifier ':from=to'
in the ':Q' modifier, only allocate memory if necessary
improve performance for LazyBuf
reduce debug logging and memory allocation for ${:U...}
reduce verbosity of the -dv debug logging for standard cases
fix double varname expansion in the variable modifier '::='
o var.c: avoid evaluating many modifiers in parse only mode
in strict mode (-dL) many variable references are parsed twice,
the first time just to report parse errors early, so we want to
avoid side effects and wasted effort to the extent possible.
Changes of interest
o unit-tests: use private TMPDIR to avoid errors from other users
o avoid strdup in mkTempFile
o always use vfork
o job.c: do not create empty shell files in jobs mode
reduce unnecessary calls to waitpid
o cond.c: fix debug output for comparison operators in conditionals
Quite a lot of churn on style, but lots of
good work refactoring complicated functions
and lots more unit-tests.

Some interesting entries from ChangeLog
o .MAKE.{UID,GID} represent uid and gid running make.
o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable
checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows
read-only directory.
o add more unit tests for META MODE
Change-Id: I4d3bcf08b4c864d98b343f602efe5a75dbfa7a94
o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable
checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows
read-only directory.
o Fix building and unit-tests on non-BSD.
o More code cleanup and refactoring.
o More unit tests
Lots of new unit-tests increase code coverage.
Lots of refactoring, cleanup and simlpification to reduce
code size.
Fixes for Bug 223564 and 245807
Updates to dirdeps.mk and meta2deps.py
Lots of code refactoring, simplification and cleanup.
Lots of new unit-tests providing much higher code coverage.

Other significant changes:
o new read-only variable .SHELL which provides the path of the shell
used to run scripts (as defined by the .SHELL target).
o new debug option -dl: LINT mode, does the equivalent of := for all
variable assignments so that file and line number are reported for
variable parse errors.
from ChangeLog:
(most of this by rillig@)
o lots of style and white-space cleanup
o lots more unit tests for variable modifiers
o simplified description of some functions
o str.c: refactor Str_Match
o var.c: debugging output for :@
constify VarModify parameter
fix :hash modifier on 16-bit platforms
remove unnecessary forward declarations
refactor ApplyModifier_SysV to have less indentation
simplify code for :E and :R
clean up code for :H and :T
refactor ApplyModifiers
* var.c: we need stdint.h on some platforms to get uint32_t
* unit-test/Makefile: we need to supress the specific error
for RE substitution error in modmisc, since it varies accross
different OS.
