The next pretest for the next Texinfo release has been uploaded to: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-6.5.93.tar.xz
Barring any last minute problems, this is what we intend to release as Texinfo 6.6 in a few days' time. Changes since last pretest: * changes to allow XS modules to build properly on MS-Windows * do not install XS modules as static libraries, as these are useless * for HTML output: * colons omitted by default after menu entries * CSS removed for commands like @smallexample, @smalldisplay etc. * when generating menus (i.e. when no @menu block is in a node at all), use section names instead of node names * give a warning message if a noderename.cnf file is used * some minor changes to the manual Please send any comments to <[email protected]>. Full news: * Language: . New commands @&, @ampchar{}. . @cropmarks command removed . @ctrl is no longer recognised (it was a way to insert literal control characters in Info files, but deprecated since the time of Texinfo version 2) . \usebracesinindexestrue is no longer recommended for using braces in index entries, and has been a no-op for some time * texi2any . extension modules fixed to work with the "thread-safe locales" of Perl 5.28 and newer . some code changed to stop warnings being given by newer versions of Perl . for HTML output, use `id' to define link targets instead of the `name' attribute on <a> . A native-code implementation of the Texinfo parser has been included on an experimental basis, which makes texi2any a lot faster. Set the `TEXINFO_XS_PARSER' environment variable to 1 to use. . changes to HTML output: . omit colon after node name in menus by default (use `MENU_ENTRY_COLON' to add it back) . no special CSS for commands like @smallexample . new customization variable `SECTION_NAME_IN_TITLE' to use the section name as the document <title> . use section names instead of node names in generated menus . pass on flags set with -D to TeX. . useless static libraries are not installed . the newline after an @insertcopying is not output . warning given for @multitable prototypes not in braces . @indent and @noindent are not allowed inside the arguments to commands where they are not meaningful . @quote-arg and @allow-recursion are not recognised (these two used to be recognised by makeinfo in macro definitions but were never implemented in texinfo.tex) . `FIX_TEXINFO' removed as a customization variable . do not recognise or warn about obsolete customization variables * info . debugging output with -x is not diverted to a separated infodebug file * Development: . switch from Subversion to git - https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=texinfo . automake 1.16
