Changes since 4.6:
4.7 (9 April 2004)
* Language:
. new commands @float, @caption, @shortcaption, @listoffloats for
initial implementation of floating material (figures, tables, etc).
Ironically, they do not yet actually float anywhere.
. new commands @docbook, @ifdocbook, @ifnotdocbook for conditional Docbook.
. new commands @ordf{} and @ordm{} for Spanish feminine/masculine ordinals.
. new commands @deftypecv[x] for class variables in typed OO languages.
. new command @registeredsymbol for the r-in-a-circle symbol.
. new command @headitem to make a heading row in @multitable.
. new command @LaTeX{} for the LaTeX logo.
. new command @comma{} to avoid comma-parsing problems.
. @url is now a synonym for @uref; new command @indicateurl has the
old meaning of just displaying a url as text.
. @quotation now accepts an optional argument for labelling the text
as a `Note', `Tip', etc.
. @defun (et al.) heading lines can now be continued with a lone @.
. @acronym accepts an optional argument for the meaning of the acronym.
* makeinfo:
. New environment variable TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT determines the output
format at runtime, if no options are specified.
. New option --plaintext, equivalent to --no-headers with Info output.
. All outputs:
- sections are numbered by default.
. Info output:
- punctuation is inserted after @pxref and @ref, if needed to make
cross-references valid.
- line numbers included in index menus, so Info readers can go to
the exact line of an entry, not just a node. Also in plaintext output.
- ^@^H[index^@^H] cookie included in index menus, so Info readers
can handle the ] etc. commands better.
. HTML output:
- new algorithm for cross-references to other manuals, for maximum
portability and stability.
- include node name in <title> with split output.
- @multicolumn fractions become percentages.
- entities used for bullets, quotes, dashes, and others.
- index entries are links to the exact locations.
- <h4> and <h5> used for @sub and @subsubsections again.
- accented dotless i supported.
. XML output: many new tags and structure to preserve more source features.
. Docbook output:
- upgraded DTD to Docbook XML 4.2, no longer using Docbook SGML.
- improved translation in general, for instance:
- line annotations and marked quotations.
* texi2dvi:
. if available, use etex (pdfetex if --pdf) by default.
. if the input file includes thumbpdf.sty (for LaTeX), then run thumbpdf.
. more output if --debug.
* texinfo.tex:
. @defun names are now printed in typewriter (instead of bold), and
within the arguments, @var text is printed in slanted typewriter.
. @tex code is executed inside a TeX group, so that any changes must
be prefixed with \global (or the equivalent) to be effective. (This
change was actually made years ago, but never made it into the NEWS.)
* info:
. new option --where (aka --location, -w) to report where an Info file
would be found, instead of reading it.
. by default, output ANSI terminal escape sequences as-is; new option
--no-raw-escapes overrides this.
. use the newly-generated index line numbers.
* Distribution:
. new script gendocs.sh (not installed), for use by GNU maintainers in
getting their manuals on the GNU web site. Documented in
maintain.texi (http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_toc.html).
. Most code uses ANSI C prototypes, to some extent.
. New translation: nb.
. automake 1.8.3, autoconf 2.59, gettext 0.14.1.
is, use the symbol versioning script to remove certain symbols from the
dynamic symbol table.
Do the symbol versioning thing for all platforms.
Whilest our ld.elf_so(1) doesn't understand symbol versioning this

should fix PR lib/25930 by Dan McMahill
(I've compiled the whole KDE with this modification successfully)
due to andoc.tmac being generated here and it'll end up in the depend tree
for installation (during dependall) if DESTDIR=/ and USETOOLS=no/never which
will lose for most people. Fixes final part of PR#23067
doesn't substitute that into Makefile.in anywhere. This will cause it to lose
when compiling as a host tools and CPPFLAGS contains -I's into the compat
area (solaris loses here for instance). Fix by adding CPPFLAGS onto CFLAGS

* config/sh/sh.md (rotlsi3): Use emit_move_insn.
This helps avoid postfix waking up an idle disk with mtime updates for
fifos. Evidently only fifos worked for these two in earlier postfix
versions, but now it works fine in my testing, and it also makes the
config consistent for all postfix services.
Thanks to Charles Hannum.

Stable CVS 1.11.15 has been released. Stable releases contain only
bug fixes from previous versions of CVS. This version fixes serious
security holes in both the client and the CVS server executables
as well as fixing many other bugs, including some file resurrection
issues. We recommend this upgrade for all CVS clients and servers!

This is in line with general security policy, so that postfix is
"safe" until other required configuration steps have been taken.
This way, systems enabling this mailer for local mail delivery only
won't be vulnerable to surprise exploits, being used as relays,
/var/mail filling up with spam, etc.

(The previous fixes still ended up with syntactically-invalid shell
code for the 'for' loops, which would fail on some versions of linux.
The ignore-error marking for the command would allow the build to finish,
but it would leave extraneous "Failed" bits in the build output.)

Problem (and also fix) reported by Eyal Lebedinsky on port-pc532.
Fix the behaviour of native and tools gcc when MKPIC=no is specified for
platforms that mknative has determined support shared libraries.
XXX distrib/sets/sets.subr doesn't support MKPIC=no
The condition of the check if we are at a safe point to pause (i.e. we're not
holding a lock) was inverted. Suspending the client did result in the
server using upto datalimit memory, because the server child process did
continue producing output while the server parent was holding back output
to the client.
and exception handling have a chance of working properly.
- creates libgcc, libgcc_eh and libgcc_s
- updates LIBGCC_SPEC to use them appropriately.
There's a hack in here at the moment with respect to libgcc_so in that it
is preferable to link against libgcc_so will only when -shared-libgcc is
specified (the c++ frontend does this automatically.) Configurations where
LINK_EH_SPEC is defined already do this. The gcc configuration for
NetBSD/alpha and another NetBSD platform (I forget which) actually define
LINK_EH_SPEC probably by accident rather than design.
- updates share/mk to use the compiler's knowledge of what needs linking into
libraries and executables. This removes an hppa hack.
- updates the sets for the newly created libgcc* files.
- support for linking against the _pg version of libgcc has been removed.
- Disable symbol versioning (for now)
- Make sure that libiberty knows its being configured with a
cross compiler.
- The CXX_* variables are no longer needed/used.
- LIB2FUNCS_EXTRA gets pulled in via LIB2ADD
- Get LIB1ASMFUNCS and LIB2ASMSRC
- MAYBE_USE_COLLECT2 got renamed to USE_COLLECT2 (but might not
be used)
- Get EXTRA_HEADERS so that we get generate the right paths for
CPPFLAGS
- Get some variables related to shared libgcc
default broken flags. groff 1.19 defaulted to this value off, whereas
groff 1.18.1 and earlier defaulted to this being on. Setting this value
fixes postscript printing to my HP LJ4m.
Note: BROKEN_SPOOLER_FLAGS was previously `7', so we were already enabling
workarounds for other issues...

"Stable CVS 1.11.11 has been released. Stable releases contain only
bug fixes from previous versions of CVS. This release adds code to
the CVS server to prevent it from continuing as root after a user
login, as an extra failsafe against a compromise of the
CVSROOT/passwd file. Previously, any user with the ability to write
the CVSROOT/passwd file could execute arbitrary code as the root
user on systems with CVS pserver access enabled. We recommend this
upgrade for all CVS servers!"

and without Kerberos 4 & 5 (MKKERBEROS=no). Previously checkflist
complained of missing files.
* move kerberos- and kerberos 4-only files into new flists,
distrib/sets/lists/*/krb.*
* make the flist generators grok MKKERBEROS{,4} variables
* fix Makefiles which treat MKKERBEROS=no as MKKERBEROS5=no.
9 out of 10 experts agree that it is ludicrous to build w/
KERBEROS4 and w/o KERBEROS5.
* fix header files, also, which treat MKKERBEROS=no as MKKERBEROS5=no.
* omit some Kerberos-only subdirectories from the build as
MKKERBEROS{,4} indicate
(I acknowledge the sentiment that flists are the wrong way to go,
and that the makefiles should produce the metalog directly. That
sounds to me like the right way to go, but I am not prepared to do
revamp all the makefiles. While my approach is expedient, it fits
painlessly within the current build architecture until we are
delivered from flist purgatory, and it does not postpone our
delivery. Fair enough?)
