I uploaded a texinfo pretest release at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.11.90.tar.gz. Please try it
if you can.
Here's the NEWS.
* Language:
. new commands @clicksequence, @click, and @clickstyle for documenting
GUI sequences, and @arrow for the default glyph used.
* install-info:
. 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 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 precise line number specified in index entries is used if available.
. --usage=info shows usage for standalone Info.
* 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.
