We have uploaded the pretest for the next minor, bug-fix release of Texinfo, the GNU documentation format.
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-7.1.0.91.tar.xz We hope to release this as Texinfo 7.1.1 in a few days' time. This bug-fix release is being made to make a release offically available with important problems fixed. Changes since version 7.1 are minimal so to minimize the likelihood of inadvertent breakages. Here is a summary of the changes since the previous pretest (2024-06-08): * replacement of some old "K&R" style function definitions in C code * various portability fixes for OpenBSD and MinGW * several fixes and improvements to the package's build system to make it more robust * possible crash in 'info' fixed * update of string translations * update of gnulib imports Here are a list of the major changes since Texinfo 7.1: * texi2any . fix potential crash when @include is used inside a table . do not complain about presence of @anchor inside @item in a table . C source files that are generated from *.xs files are no no longer distributed, so xsubpp from Perl is needed to build XS modules. . fix bug that led to memory alignment error on SPARC . performance improvement and fixes for MinGW . test failures due to floating point rounding error fixed (observed on IBM POWER9 processor) * info . crash when setting style to invalid value fixed . potential call of memcpy with null argument fixed This pretest is made to allow further testing before an official release and to hopefully discover any problems before use by a larger audience. Please report any issues to <bug-texinfo@gnu.org>. Please also feel to report if there are other problems that you feel should be fixed in this minor release.
