* Language: . new commands AATTclicksequence, AATTclick, and AATTclickstyle for documenting GUI sequences, and AATTarrow for the default glyph used. . new commands AATTgeq{} and AATTleq{} for the normal >= and <= relations.
* install-info: . lzma compression supported. . Much work towards compatibility with Debian\'s independent implementation. Changes in behavior: - new entries are formatted to start at column 34 by default. - existing entries are replaced by default. - new sections are alphabetized among existing sections. - if an entry being removed is the last one in a section, the section is also removed. . Also many new options: - -section REGEX TITLE. - -no-indent: disable formatting of new entries. - -menuentry, --name: specify left-hand side of an entry. - -dry-run: alias for --test. - -regex REGEX: renamed from --section regex, adds to all sections matching REGEX by default. - -add-once: add only to first specified or matching section. - -align COL: start description at column COL. - -calign COL: start continuation lines in description at COL. - -max-width COL: wrap the description at COL. . New section in the Texinfo manual describing all this.
* Info: Our goal with these changes to the default interface is to make Info documents more easily and quickly readable, especially by non-experts. . the PageUp and PageDown keys move through the whole document by default, instead of just the current node. . the h command shows the basic help, and H starts the Info tutorial. . the newly-bound x command deletes the current window, e.g., within help. . the scroll-step variable is set to 1 by default, for smooth scrolling. . the cursor-movement-scrolls-p variable is set to 1 by default, so link searches look through the whole document. . regular expression searches are supported, and are the default for both regular and incremental searches. . the new R command toggles between regexp and literal-string searches. . the new variable scroll-last-node controls scrolling at the end of the last node; by default, it now simply reports there are no more nodes. To restore the old behavior, set scroll-last-node=Scroll. . the precise line number specified in index entries is used if available. . --usage=info shows usage for standalone Info. . lzma compression supported.
* Distribution: . language support for no removed/renamed to nb, per Norwegian translators. . new translation: es. . bug fixes in make check (and elsewhere). . gettext 0.17, automake 1.10.1, autoconf 2.62.
Mon Mar 10 13:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de - Update to texinfo version 4.11 (4.10 was omitted)
* Language: . AATTdocumentlanguage now supports an optional country code specification after the language code, a la gettext. . new command AATTallowcodebreaks controls breaks at _ and - within AATTcode. . new command AATTfrenchspacing controls spacing after sentences. . new command AATTfonttextsize allows changing body text font size to 10pt. . new command AATTtextdegree{} produces the normal degrees symbol. . new command AATTthischapternum can be used in TeX headers/footers. . new commands for quotes: AATTquotedblleft AATTquotedblright AATTquoteleft AATTquoteright AATTquotedblbase AATTquotesinglbase AATTguillemetleft AATTguillemetright AATTguilsinglleft AATTguilsinglright. . new option AATTset txicodequoteundirected produces an undirected quote in code and example output, instead of the regular right quote. . new option AATTset txicodequotebacktick produces a grave accent in code and example output, instead of the regular left quote.
* makeinfo: . The AATTdocumentlanguage locale is used to translate various document strings. . --enable-encoding is now the default, meaning Info and plain text output use 8-bit characters given a supported AATTdocumentencoding. . new option --css-ref=URL for creating a stylesheet in HTML output. . new option --transliterate-file-names to use a reduction-to-ASCII algorithm for split HTML file names, useful for non-Latin-based languages. . AATTenddots{} outputs three dots instead of four, for consistency with texinfo.tex. . the Local Variables coding: setting written by --enable-encoding now comes at the very end, after the tags table, so that Emacs can find it in more cases. . AATTallow-recursion (never documented) is deprecated and produces a warning. . AATTquote-args (never documented) is now the default behavior. . centering and such take account of character widths. . the --reference-limit option is now a no-op. . improvements to XML and Docbook output and the DTD.
* texinfo.tex: . AATTthissection can now be used in custom headings, and AATTthischapter works reliably even without AATTset chapternewpage. Custom headings have additional flexibility as well.
* texi2dvi: . pdftexi2dvi is a new wrapper to `texi2dvi --pdf\', equal to texi2pdf, for the sake of AUC-TeX which prepends `pdf\' to the compilation command when requested to produce PDF.
* info: . look for info files in the current directory first, by default. . when calling man, use -a if no explicit section is found. . avoid showing the top(1) man page for nonexistent info files.
* install-info: . new options --section-regex, --remove-exactly, --debug, --test.
* Distribution: . autoconf 2.60, automake 1.10, gettext 0.16.1. . gettext support now [external]. . new translations: hu (Hungarian), rw (Kinyarwandan), vi (Vietnamese). . most common sources imported from gnulib.
Wed Jul 11 14:00:00 2007 wernerAATTsuse.de - Update to texinfo version 4.9
* GPLv3.
* texi2dvi: . new mode --build=tidy which supports compilation in a separate directory, where intermediate files are preserved. . new option --build-dir, to specify where the tidy build will take place, either locally or globally. This allows avoiding the clutter while preserving auxiliary files. . new support for AUC-TeX: texi2dvi (weakly) supports arguments a la TeX such as `\ onstopmode\\input{file.tex}\'. . new options --ps and --dvipdf, useful especially for pstricks documents. . new option --src-specials, passed to TeX. . pdftexi2dvi is a new wrapper to `texi2dvi --pdf\', equal to texi2pdf, for the sake of AUC-TeX which prepends `pdf\' to the compilation command when requested to produce PDF.
* texinfo.tex: . Latin1, Latin2, Latin9, and UTF-8 are supported as well as Computer Modern can manage. . png and jpg images supported in pdf output. . new Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian translations for texinfo.tex: txi-ru.tex, txi-sr.tex, txi-uk.tex. . section names with \\ characters work properly in pdf outlines. . have .toc files use AATT as the escape character, instead of \\. - Update to texi2html version 1.78
* Transliterate accented characters in file names. Use Text::Unidecode if detected.
* Handle AATTfrenchspacing, AATTtie, AATTindent, AATTsetcontentsaftertitlepage, AATTsetshortcontentsaftertitlepage and the obsolete AATTallow-recursion and AATTquote-arg.
* With book style the Table of Contents is put where it is set.
* Use more numeric entities, especially for accented letters.
* The `examples\' directory now contains an init file for Mediawiki output. Mediawiki is the GPL\'d wiki used by Wikipedia.
* new init file tex4ht.init. With this init file, httex or htlatex from tex4ht is used to format AATTtex and AATTmath.
* Init files now have a chance to override all file names, rather than just page names.
* Put the images under a double licence by adding back their original GPL licence.
* If SIMPLE_MENU is true the menu is simply enclosed in a preformatted environment.
* The user can bypass the texi2html functions and provide his own function to do things similar that what is done for interfacing with LaTeX2HTML or tex4ht.
* LaTeX2HTML stuff is moved out of texi2html.pl, to T2h_l2h.pm.
* Add $USER and $DATE variables to override the defaults detected for the footer.
* $TOP_FILE and $TOC_FILE are only set if set by the user. The elements file names are in the hash reference $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{\'filename\'} for use in init files.
* The API for image, normal_text, paragraph and node_file_name has changed.
* The $ENCODING variable is deprecated, replaced by $ENCODING_NAME and $OUT_ENCODING.
* utf8 is used as default out file encoding. This should allow for utf8 translations for languages which cannot use AATT-commands for non ascii characters.
* Use entities for ``, \'\', ---, -- and quotes used for some formatting AATT-commands if $USE_ISO is set.
* don\'t set unset MENU-ENTRY-NAME if it is similar with the NODE-NAME, it is useless as it is a construct that shouldn\'t happen.
* avoid menu entry and description redundancy in the formatting function and not in the main program.
* accept - in AATT-command names (compatibility with makeinfo)
* in user-defined macro arguments a comma in brace is escaped (compatibility with makeinfo from texinfo 4.8.90)
* don\'t add the section title to the html title when the document isn\'t split
* When the file extension is set to the empty string, a trailing `.\' will not be automatically added to file names.
* The texi2html script is now created by make and not configure.
* It is possible to build the translation files from outside of the build directory.
* When configure detects that no Data::Dumper is present, the build scripts will simply copy the files instead of breaking.
* remove handling of quotation second arg, quotation has only one arg.
* handle nested ifset/ifclear.
* Improved handling of AATTsc and AATTcenterchap.
* More flexible normal_text.
* style_stack really contains the formatting AATT-commands.
* caching of html generated by latex2html reenabled.
* when not split and no section navigation is output, the about page and navigation direction are not output for all the elements.
