Hello Texinfo friends,
I've released texinfo 4.7.92, the third and hopefully last pretest for
the next Texinfo version to (gzip):
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.92.tar.gz
http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.gz
and (bzip2):
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.92.tar.bz2
http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.bz2
Just documentation and portability changes since the last pretest.
This will become 4.8 unless severe problems are reported. So please
test if you can, and report problems to texinfo-pretest at texinfo.org.
Thanks,
karl at gnu.org

and @sansserif to typeset in a sans serif font.
* makeinfo:
. HTML output:
- <a name="..."> constructs are added for the old-style
conversion of node names to HTML names, so that external references
to them can continue to work.
- "g_t" prefixed to targets for node names beginning with a
nonletter, for XHTML compatibility.
* texi2dvi:
. new option --recode, to call recode for input character translation.
* Distribution:

. some cross-compiling support in configure && make.
. new configure option --disable-install-warnings, for TeX.
distributions which do have the files installed.
