Subject: ANNOUNCE: Texinfo 3.12 updated with bugfixes
MIME-Version: 1.0

This is to announce that the DJGPP port of the GNU Texinfo package,
version 3.12, has been updated on SimTel.NET mirrors.

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/txi312b.zip
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/txi312s.zip

The new zip files should be dated June 30 or later.

The changes include:

  - info.exe was linked with a modified version of __dpmi_yield
    library function, which doesn't cause it to hang on certain
    (rare) configurations of Windows 95;

  - makeinfo.exe has several bugfixes, the most important are:

    * the bug with using the `@' character (and other special
      characters) in node names has been fixed;
    * makeinfo now runs almost as fast as version 3.9 did (the maximum
      slow-down I've seen is 5%, whereas the original release of 3.12
      ran up to 10 times slower);

  - texi2dvi now always deletes temporary files, even when TeX
    produces empty output or is aborted.

The file djgpp/DIFFS2 in the source distribution tells the whole story
about the changes.

Enjoy.
