Changelog for info-7.1-181.3.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Feb 02 2024 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to version 7.1 (18 October 2023)
* Language . new generic definition commands, AATTdefblock, AATTdefline and AATTdeftypeline, for definitions without automatic index entries . new AATTlinemacro facility eases use of generic definition commands . new command AATTlink creates plain links (supported output formats only) . AATTcartouche takes an argument to specify the cartouche title . you can use the new commands AATTnodedescription and AATTnodedescriptionblock to give text to be used in menu descriptions in Info and HTML output
* texi2any . AATTitemx at the beginning of a AATTtable is now an error, not a warning . better validity checking of deeply nested commands . check that AATTset and AATTclear only appear at the start of a line . warn about missing menu entries even if CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE is not set. you can turn this off by setting CHECK_MISSING_MENU_ENTRY to 0. . no longer use --enable-encoding and --disable-encoding to determine whether to output encoded characters (instead of entities or commands) for HTML, XML, DocBook and LaTeX; instead, use the value of the OUTPUT_CHARACTERS customization variable. . stricter checks on input encoding, in particular more warnings and errors with malformed UTF-8 . support any input file encoding if support exists in the operating system, not just a selected list of encodings . resolve an alias referring to another alias at definition time . internally, use \"source marks\" to keep all Texinfo source information that is not in the final tree (location of macros, values and included files expansion, AATTif
* blocks, DEL comment, and AATT protecting end of line on AATTdef
* lines) . HTML output: . format AATTsubentry and index entries with AATTseealso or AATTseeentry in a more similar way to printed output . output AATTshortcontents before AATTcontents by default . omit colons after index entries by default. this can still be configured with INDEX_ENTRY_COLON. . add AATTexample syntax highlighting as a texi2any extension . no more capitalization of AATTsc argument in HTML Cross-references . change AATTpoint expansion to U+22C6 in HTML Cross-references . if a AATTnode is not associated with a sectioning command but is followed by a heading command not usually associated to nodes such as AATTheading and this command appears before other formatted content, the heading command is assumed to supply the node heading. you can customize this with USE_NEXT_HEADING_FOR_LONE_NODE. . Info output: . new variable ASCII_DASHES_AND_QUOTES, on by default, outputs ASCII characters for literal quote or hyphen characters in source, rather than UTF-8. this makes it easier to search Info files. . new ASCII_GLYPH variable for using ASCII renditions for glyph commands (like AATTbullet) . ASCII_PUNCTUATION still includes the effect of these new variables. . new variables AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_ALIGN_COLUMN and AUTO_MENU_MAX_WIDTH control the format of descriptions in generated menus . XML output: . place menu leading text and menu separators in elements instead of attributes
* texi2dvi . macro expansion with texi2any requires at least version 5.0 (only happens with --expand option or with very old texinfo.tex)
* texinfo.tex . in AATTcode, ` and \' output by default with backtick and undirected single quote glyphs in the typewriter font. you can still configure this using the AATTcodequoteundirected/AATTcodequotebacktick commands. . do not insert a space for AATT def line continuation, matching the behavior of texi2any . align section titles in table of contents when more than 10 sections . microtype is off by default, for speed . page headings generation is no longer linked to the AATTtitlepage command
* info . when going Up, position cursor on menu entry for current node . allow mouse scrolling support regardless of termcap entries. this supports some more xterm configurations. . do not use \"/index\" as a possible file extension for Info files
* texi2any . fix performance regression when Perl binary extension (XS) modules are not being used (e.g. with TEXINFO_XS=omit)
* info . further fix of recoding of UTF-8 files to ASCII to avoid text disappearing from nodes . avoid possible freeze at start of a file with `-v nodeline=pointers\'
* texi2any . do not distribute architecture-dependent files . build fixed on OpenIndiana 11
* info . further fix of recoding of UTF-8 files to ASCII . fix check for presence of man pages on Solaris
* install-info . fix build by avoiding function name clash on some platforms . compiler warning re strncat silenced
* texi2any . avoid crashes on empty AATTimage argument and other potential crashes (with \"Can\'t use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference\" message) . avoid hang on AATTref command inside section command
* info . fix recoding of UTF-8 files to ASCII when run in C locale
* js . index search fixed for new HTML output . some obsolete files removed from distribution- Port patch texinfo-zlib.patch- Use libzio 1.09 to support compressed \'dir\' data base files
