Hi!

I've just upgraded our GNU texinfo to the latest available version 4.0.
Please see src/contrib/texinfo/NEWS for what has been changed since 3.12.

It should be built with `make world', not by simple `cvs update' and `make'.
If you wonder why, please see the log message for
src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/doc/Makefile,v 1.10.

But if you need to, it is possible to build it without `world' by:
	make MAKEINFO=../makeinfo/makeinfo

The install-info(1)'s --forceentry option has been removed, since it is
(and always was) the same as stock --entry option (i.e., it overrides any
INFO-DIR-ENTRY from the INFO-FILE).


Happy hacking,
