I have released version 4.9 of Texinfo, the GNU documentation format. The principal change is to update to GPLv3 (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). There are also new versions of texinfo.tex and texi2dvi (but nothing else, yet). Details below.
You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.9.tar.bz2 and its mirrors worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html). The Texinfo home page is http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/. Thanks to everyone who helped with the release, as always. Credits are in the ChangeLog. Please email bugs or suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED], general discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] texinfo 4.9 (29 June 2007) * 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 `\nonstopmode\input{file.tex}'. . new options --ps and --dvipdf, useful especially for pstricks documents. . new option --src-specials, passed to TeX. * 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 @ as the escape character, instead of \. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
