This is not the first time Texinfo has releases a new version and changed the checksum on the previous version. Last time it was because of updated license files. Check the diffs if you like. From what I understand, gnu.org has a policy of disallowing changes to uploaded files (all files are read-only, forever), but Texinfo seems to have a bypass. I suggest bumping to the new checksum and file, or else there will be bug reports and bad checksums. I haven't checked the differences, but last time Texinfo did this the changes were cosmetic (to licenses), and has no effect on the system. robert
