Log Message:
Update to 5.1. This adds a perl dependency. I hope this won't break
bootstrapping.
*** NEWS FOR ALL AUTHORS OF TEXINFO MANUALS ***
As of version 4.2, Texinfo has a new command @copying to define the
copyright and copying permissions for a manual. If you haven't already,
please switch to using it in your next release, because the historical
method of doing copyright permissions using @ifinfo failed to output
copyright information in the HTML (or XML) formats. The manual has
detailed explanations and examples. For convenience, here's a url to
one of the relevant sections:
http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Document-Permissions.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 (12 March 2013)
* texi2any:
. irregular sectioning trees (see 5.0 news item) produce a warning
rather than an error.
. @set in the middle of the line no longer produces a warning.
* info:
. lzip (.lz) compression supported.
* install-info:
. lzip (.lz) compression supported.
5.0 (16 February 2013)
* Language:
. Texinfo commands are supported in node names.
. #line directives are recognized.
. @-commands are now recognized in raw format blocks. Therefore, for
example, lone @, { and } characters in @tex, @html and similar
environments must be converted to the normal @@, @{, and @} commands.
. new commands @inlinefmt and @inlineraw for brace-delimited conditionals.
. new conditionals @ifcommanddefined and @ifcommandnotdefined to test
if a Texinfo command is available.
. new command @part for a group of chapters.
. new environments @raggedright, @smallquotation,
@indentedblock, and @smallindentedblock.
. new commands @codequoteundirected and @codequotebacktick,
for a better interface than the @set variables; now respected by @kbd.
. new command @xrefautomaticsectiontitle to allow using section titles
in cross references by default, instead of node names.
. new commands for Texinfo special characters:
@atchar{} @lbracechar{} @rbracechar{} @backslashchar{} @hashchar{}.
. new commands @deftypefnnewline to print return types on their own lines.
. new command @headitemfont for the sake of template rows.
. new command @urefbreakstyle to control breaking of @url/@uref in TeX.
. new diacritic command @ogonek.
. new commands for Icelandic letters eth and thorn: @DH{} @dh{} @TH{} @th{}.
. new command @errormsg to report an error.
. five-argument xrefs can refer to a whole manual, by omitting the
section name and either omitting the node name or using "Top".
. DEL (0x7f = 0177 = 127) is a true comment character (catcode 14 in TeX).
* texi2any is the new generic converter for Texinfo that can produce all
supported output formats, both those from texi2dvi (PDF/DVI) and from
makeinfo (Info/HTML/etc.). texi2any and makeinfo are now different
names for the same program; there are no differences in behavior based
on the program name.
The new implementation is in Perl, requiring Perl 5.7.3 (released in
March 2002) and its standard Encode module.
The Perl texi2any/makeinfo both replaces and is intended to be (for
all practical purposes) upward-compatible with the C makeinfo. It has
many new features not in the C makeinfo. For example, cross-manual
references are now fully supported, and allows for extensive
customization of the HTML output. See the `Generic Translator
texi2any' chapter in the manual (among other places) for more about
this reimplementation.
The new program is, unfortunately, noticeably slower at present than
the C program was. We hope all the many improvements make the new
version worthwhile for users nevertheless.
* Intentional incompatibilities with the previous implementation of
makeinfo, through version 4.13:
. The old implementation accepted a lone block of text inside @itemize,
@enumerate, etc., without any @item. This is semantically
inconsistent, leading to problems with some backends, and thus now
produces a warning.
. The old implementation accepted ``irregular'' sectioning trees. Now,
when @node pointers are implicitly determined, the consistency of
@menu and the sectioning tree is checked. (If node pointers are
explicitly specified in the document, the tree can still be irregular.)
. The old implementation always added blank lines between function
definitions if they weren't already there. Now blank lines are not
added. (Both old and new implementations preserve blank lines that
are present.)
. The old implementation did not consider ends of lines from expansion
of an @macro definition to end an @-command line-delimited argument
(@chapter, @center, etc.). This is no longer the case. (A detailed
example is in the manual, node Macro Details.)
* pod2texi is a new (Perl) program that uses the capabilities of
texi2any to translate Perl pod documentation to Texinfo.
* texinfo.tex:
. urls (given to @uref and @url) are broken by default at special
characters; behavior controllable with @urefbreakstyle.
. support some per-language hyphenation, when the underlying TeX
engine does (for instance, etex/pdfetex from TeX Live 2008 or
later). Words with accented letters are still not handled properly.
. @title, text will be broken if needed, and @* can be used to override.
. new Icelandic translation: txi-is.tex.
. new Hungarian translation: txi-hu.tex.
. official updates between full package releases available at
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo.tex.
* texi2dvi:
. new option --max-iterations.
. official updates between full package releases available at
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texi2dvi.
* info:
. INFOPATH is determined from PATH by default, or if an element "PATH"
is specified.
. New command Info-virtual-index, bound to I by default, following Emacs.
. Info keywords not found by searches.
. A lower limit on the length of search patterns, default 1,
specified by the variable min-search-length.
. Use ASCII versions of images, if supplied by the document.
. xz compression supported.
* install-info:
. xz compression supported.
* Documentation:
. new appendix with a technical description of the Info file format.
. information on the customizations of the HTML output now possible.
* Distribution:
. new file htmlxref.cnf is installed to support cross-manual
references; official updates between full package releases available
at http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/htmlxref.cnf.
. language support for no removed/renamed to nb, per Norwegian translators.
. new translations: id it,
and document translations: eo pl.
. texinfo.cat file removed since it is (to our knowledge) unused.
. documentation license now GFDLv1.3 or later.
. autoconf 2.69, automake 1.13.1, gettext 0.18.2.
