We have released version 5.2 of Texinfo, the GNU documentation format. It's available via a mirror (xz is much smaller than gz, but gz is available too just in case): http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.xz http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz
Or if automatic redirection fails, the list of mirrors is at: http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html Or if need be you can use the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.xz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz Or via rsync://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/; some mirrors also support rsync. Highlights of this release: more inline-style conditionals; makeinfo now warns about node/menu/cross-reference names problematic in Info, and info has a --all option somewhat analogous to man. The full NEWS is below; it's also available at http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/trunk/NEWS?root=texinfo Please email bugs or suggestions to bug-texi...@gnu.org, general discussion to help-texi...@gnu.org. The Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ Happy documenting, k...@gnu.org 5.2 (26 September 2013) * Language: . new commands @inlinefmtifelse, @inlineifset, @inlineifclear, for more brace-delimited alternatives to the conditional environments. * texi2any: . warns about node names, menu items, and cross-references (but not index entries) containing problematic characters; can be disabled with -c INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING=0. * info: . new option -x (--debug) for debugging output; -x -1 to get everything. . new option -v (--variable) assigns a value to an Info variable, with the usual syntax, -v VARIABLE=VALUE. . new option -a (--all) instructs Info to display all documents matching the command line arguments, not just the first. In conjunction with the -w option, it shows full names of all Info files matching the command line arguments; with -o, it outputs all matching files. . new variable search-skip-screen controls the starting position for repeated search commands ({ and }). When set to On, repeated searches skip the lines displayed on the screen, i.e., forward searches (}) start at the beginning of the next page, and backward searches ({) start at the end of the previous page. . new command display-file-info (bound to = by default, C-g in vi mode) shows full file name of the node being displayed and position in it. * texi2dvi: . support for biblatex+biber. * Distribution: automake-1.14, gettext-0.18.3.1. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
