If you are keen for bugs to be fixed in minor releases then keep an eye on the release/* branches in the git repository as well as any pretest releases, and complain if fixes are not included. > > Otherwise, the patch will be included in Texinfo 7.1, which hopefully > > will come out in a few month's time. > > I think I never mentioned the background of my report: Currently, it is > almost impossible to use the LaTeX lsp-server digestif[1] with > Emacs/eglot on Windows because the connection fails every time digestif > asks the server for a description which is done via info (and digestif > does that pretty often). I had never understood the severity of this; I had assumed it was a problem that affected command line uses for a very small number of Info nodes (nodes containing a forward slash or a backslash on MS-Windows). Could one of these programs not be changed to run "info -f file -n node" rather than "info (file)node"? > So with eglot being bundled with Emacs29 and > digestif being part of current TeXlive, I presume that people will try > it out once Emacs 29 is released and it will be disappointing if the > combination doesn't work.
