The next pretest for the next Texinfo release has been uploaded to https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-6.7.91.tar.xz
We hope to release this fairly soon barring the discovery of any major issues. Summary of changes since previous pretest (6.7.90, 2021-02-23): * some fixes of indentation in TeX output for @multitable and @image * some memory leaks fixed in info program * various improvements to the JavaScript browsing interface, thanks to Per Bothner * compilation fixed on DragonFlyBSD * other build fixes on various platforms (AIX 7.1, NetBSD, MS-Windows) The most significant changes since the last release (September 2019) are to the HTML output of the texi2any conversion program. Support for MathJax is added for formatting of mathematical expressions. A JavaScript-enhanced browsing interface is provided on an experimental basis. The default output for HTML uses section names in preference to node names, and simple lists of sub-sections replace Info-style menus. There should be a significant speed-up due to more of the program being written in C rather than Perl. Pretest releases are made to give a chance for a new release to be more widely tested, including on a variety of platforms. Please send any comments to <[email protected]>.
