for HTML output, place section names before the manual in page
titles, instead of after them, so it is easier to distinguish pages
if titles are truncated
starting points for ordered lists beginning with 0 or a letter of
the alphabet are output as attributes on the <ol> tag, as was
case for Texinfo 4.13 and earlier
a bit faster
some discrepancies in paragraph formatting between Perl extension
modules and interpreted Perl modules have been fixed
`MACRO_BODY_IGNORES_LEADING_SPACE' customization variable removed,
and `indent_menu_descriptions' is no longer a possible value for
`TREE_TRANSFORMATIONS' (as these features did not work as
documented)
info:
the up-line' and down-line' commands now are like the other
scrolling commands and are no longer confined to a single node
(depending on the value of `scroll-behaviour')
supplying the --all option with --index-search displays a list
of matching index entries
the style variables like `link-style' can now be set while info
is running
display bug fixed where color could be turned off prematurely
several other bugs fixed
better portability in test suite
do not fall back to showing the dir node if a manual isn't found
Do not attempt any kind of conversion of CR LF line endings,
except on MS-DOS/Windows, when it is done unconditionally. (This
replaces a more complicated approach, where this conversion would
take place if there was a problem finding a node in a file.) The
main effect of this change is that Info files with CR LF line
endings, which would have been produced on MS-DOS/Windows with old
versions of makeinfo, are only supported on such operating systems.
a few of the key bindings under --vi-keys have been changed for
consistency or to match the documentation
texinfo.tex
a DVI file with a single empty page can be output again, which
restores the behavior from Texinfo 6.0 and earlier
6.4 (23 June 2017)
up-line' anddown-line' commands now are like the other scrolling commands and are no longer confined to a single node (depending on the value of `scroll-behaviour')
