+== Bug fixes
+
+=== Fix targets that ignored a failure partway through a loop
+Several targets run one command per file or per extension, and a failure
+partway through was ignored. They now fail as soon as any one
+command fails:
+
+* `make pgtle` exited 0 if `pgtle.sh` failed for any extension other than
+  the last one.
+* `make results` exited 0 if copying any `test/results/*.out` file other
+  than the last one into `test/expected/` failed.
+* `make results-build` exited 0 if copying any file into
+  `test/build/expected/` failed, including the last one.
+* `make print-pgtle` exited 0 if reading the generated SQL for any
+  extension other than the last one failed.
+* With `PGXNTOOL_ENABLE_TEST_INSTALL=yes`, a failed write to
+  `test/install/schedule` for any file other than the last one left an
+  incomplete schedule without an error.
+
+Issues fixed in this release: #140
