| Summary: A Stand-Alone Terminal-Based Info Browser | |
Info is a terminal-based program for reading documentation of computer
programs in the Info format. The GNU Project distributes most of its
on-line manuals in the Info format, so you need a program called "Info
reader" to read the manuals.

- Add provides for texi2html and texi2roff (bnc#469300)
- Update to texi2html 1.82 (2009-01-05)
* Add new hooks for user functions, for simple @-commands, and at the start and
end of special regions.
* Don't use unidecode on unicode characters that are known not to have a good
transliteration. This corresponds with characters with an @-command that
don't have a transliteration, like @exclamdown...
* handle @alias, @quote*, @guillem*, @textdegree, @allowcodebreaks,
@fonttextsize, @hyphenation, @click, @clickstyle, @click, @arrow,
@clicksequence, @geq, @leq, @*headingmarks, @*footingmarks, @smallquotation,
@ogonek.
Handle @columnfractions and row prototypes in @multitable better.
* @documentlanguage is used to set the language each time it is seen (except
if the language was set on the command line).
* new option --css-ref, generate reference to a CSS URL.
* new option --transliterate-file-names, produce file names in ASCII
transliteration (set in the default case).
* --no-monolithic is reenabled.
* @, followed by an argument without brace is now handled. Report from
Jorge Barros de Abreu.
* @, is kept with --macro-expand.
* @math is more compatible with makeinfo/texi2dvi when no external program
is used. Using tex4ht for html generation should also lead to a correct
result.
* Handle right @end block commands followed by something else than a
spacing character.
* Remove trailing end of line in @html block.
* @itemize should produce bullets by default. Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.
* handle frame files like other files. Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.
- Update to texinfo 4.13a (18 September 2008)
* A reference card for Texinfo is now available, in doc/refcard. For
convenience, preformatted PDF's for letter-size and A4 paper are included.
* makeinfo:
. new option --internal-links for HTML output, to write a tsv file
mapping indexed/toc terms to links, for easy reference from external
documents.
. - as an input file name reads standard input.
* info:
. support for multibyte encodings such as UTF-8.
. new option --show-malformed-multibytes, to display malformed multibyte
sequences.
. new environment variable INFO_MAN_COMMAND sets the name of man binary
(use it if you a need to override PATH settings).
* install-info:
. bug fix: support names with embedded periods (e.g., config.status) again.
* Distribution:
. autoconf 2.63.
* Sun Jun 15 2008 schwab@suse.de
- Update to texinfo 4.12.
* Language:
. new commands @clicksequence, @click, and @clickstyle for documenting
GUI sequences, and @arrow for the default glyph used.
. new commands @geq{} and @leq{} 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 2008 werner@suse.de
- Update to texinfo version 4.11 (4.10 was omitted)
* Language:
. @documentlanguage now supports an optional country code
specification after the language code, a la gettext.
. new command @allowcodebreaks controls breaks at _ and - within @code.
. new command @frenchspacing controls spacing after sentences.
. new command @fonttextsize allows changing body text font size to 10pt.
. new command @textdegree{} produces the normal degrees symbol.
. new command @thischapternum can be used in TeX headers/footers.
. new commands for quotes: @quotedblleft @quotedblright
@quoteleft @quoteright @quotedblbase @quotesinglbase
@guillemetleft @guillemetright @guilsinglleft @guilsinglright.
. new option @set txicodequoteundirected produces an undirected quote
in code and example output, instead of the regular right quote.
. new option @set txicodequotebacktick produces a grave accent in
code and example output, instead of the regular left quote.
* makeinfo:
. The @documentlanguage 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 @documentencoding.
. new option --css-ref=URL for creating a stylesheet <link> 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.
. @enddots{} 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.
. @allow-recursion (never documented) is deprecated and produces a warning.
. @quote-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:
. @thissection can now be used in custom headings, and @thischapter
works reliably even without @set 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.
