-This file records noteworthy changes.
-
-1.76 (February 3 2005)
-
-* BUG FIXES
- ---------
-
-* Perl no longer needs to be installed at build time, but when it is not, the
- path to `perl' that will be used at run time must be passed to the
- `configure' script.
-
-1.74 (January 31 2005)
-
-* COMPATIBILITY
- -------------
-
-* The argument on def like commands line (@deffn and friends) may be
- bracketed, therefore there is no difference between this element and
- others. There is no need of items with { in front in the %def_map
- anymore.
-
-* NEW FEATURES
- ------------
-
-* More @-commands are available to the user, that were ignored before.
- Most of these @-commands are those related with structure or printed
- output.
-
-* BUG FIXES
- ---------
-
-* many deffn and friends line parsing bugs fixed.
-
-1.72 (December 29 2004)
-
-* NEW FEATURES
- ------------
-
-* Handle texinfo 4.7 constructs:
- @caption, @shortcaption, @ordf, @ordm, @registeredsymbol, @deftypecv,
- @LaTeX, @indicateurl, @docbook, @ifdocbook, @ifnotdocbook, @comma,
- @headitem, @quotation second arg, @acronym second arg.
- @url is now a synonym for @uref. @ at the end of a @def* line continues the
- line.
- Handle texinfo 4.8 constructs:
- @abbr, @slanted, @euro and @sansserif.
-* Cross refs are done according to the specification presented in the texinfo
- manual in the node HTML Xref.
-
-* BUG FIXES
- ---------
-
-* Re enable compatibility with perl older that 5.6.
-
-1.70 (March 24 2004)
-
-* BUG FIXES
- ---------
-
-* use i18n files even when translations.pl is not included. Include
- translations.pl.
-
-* COMPATIBILITY
- -------------
-
-* install html manual in $datadir/texinfo/html.
-
-* NEW FEATURES
- ------------
-
-* Add a spec file, usefull to build a rpm.
-
-* FOR DEVELOPERS
- --------------
-
-* Standardized on Autoconf 2.59 & Automake 1.8.3
-
-1.68 (March 20 2004)
-
-* COMPATIBILITY
- -------------
-
-* When the manual is split the default is to put resulting files in a
- directory with name the manual file basename (previously they were left in
- the current directory). To avoid that, call texi2html with '-output .'.
-
-* The main configuration files are now ./Config, ~/.texi2html/Config,
- $sysconfdir/texi2html/Config and last $datadir/texi2html/Config. They are
- sourced in that order.
- In the future `/etc/texi2htmlrc' and `~/.texi2htmlrc' will no longer be
- sourced and any existing site or user configuration should be moved to the
- new locations if you wish it to be used by newer versions of Texi2HTML.
-
-* Translation files are now stored in $datadir/texi2html/i18n/*,
- $sysconfdir/texi2html/i18n/*, ~/.texi2html/i18n/*, and sourced in that order.
- The translated strings are now associated with the english strings.
- Please see the documentation for the format of the new translation files.
-
-* First index page is the first page with a non empty index (with @printindex).
-
-* The glossary and bibliography terms aren't searched anymore. You should use
- @macro to simulate these features (look at Tests/macros/glossary.texi for
- an example).
-
-* We've standardized on GNU-style `--' prefixed long options, rather than the
- old single-dash prefixed long options in the help, but the single-dash style
- is still accepted on the command line for the time being.
- We also changed `_' to `-' in option names.
-
-* @setref handling is removed as the right corresponding @-command is @anchor.
-
-* No more global variables outside of namespaces.
- Global variables are now in the Texi2HTML namespace.
- leading T2H_ is stripped from variable, hashes and array names. You should
- change your variable names for the new release. As the global variables
- (%THISDOC, $THIS_SECTION...) are in the Texi2HTML namespace you should use,
- for example, $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{'fulltitle'} now.
- functions from the main program should now be qualified in the main
- namespace. t2h_ is stripped from the function names too.
- t2h_anchor is now a function reference in init file, and thus should
- be called like &$anchor(...).
- toc file and main file are arguments for print_frame, overview lines are
- arguments for print_toc_frame (instead of global variables).
-
-* $THISPROG, $T2H_HOMEPAGE, $T2H_AUTHORS, $T2H_TODAY, $T2H_USER are now
- values associated with the following keys in %Texi2HTML::THISDOC:
- `program', `program_homepage', `today', `user'.
-
-* Changes in the function reference used for the page layout:
- print_section don't do the end of page or section anymore (except when
- split at node), end_section does the end of a section, and print_*_footer
- does the end of page.
- the print_*_header, print_*_footer... functions take a ref on the buttons
- array as argument, instead of using the $T2H_BUTTONS global variable.
- Have a look at the texi2html.init file to update your configuration files.
-
-* T2H_InitGlobals is not used anymore. Use the function reference init_out
- to define $BODYTEXT dynamically and %Texi2HTML::THISDOC values in
- print_page_foot and about_body to recreate the address instead of the
- $T2H_ADDRESS.
- You can have a look at program_string in texi2html.init which recreates
- the address. $T2H_ADDRESS isn't used anymore.
-
-* variables for latex2html are not in texi2html init file anymore but in
- l2h.init.
-
-* don't expand @ifinfo regions by default.
-
-* option --output obsoletes -out_file and -subdir. It is the same than
- --out_file when output is not split, and the same than --subdir when it is
- split.
-
-* If not split, the resulting file has a leading directory, and the directory
- doesn't exist, it is created.
-
-* If a directory creation fails the program aborts.
-
-* Don't use T2H_CENTER_IMAGE, @center should be used.
-
-* the init_out function redefines dynamically %NAVIGATION_TEXT, %BUTTONS_GOTO
- and $BODYTEXT. You should redefine the hash values in that function. If you
- want to reuse the values of the default values set by init_out,
- you could do something like:
-
- my $default_init_out = $init_out;
- $init_out = \&makeinfo_like_init_out;
- sub makeinfo_like_init_out()
- {
- my $encoding = &$default_init_out();
- $NAVIGATION_TEXT{'Following'} = ' &gt; ';
- return $encoding;
- }
-
-* NEW FEATURES
- ------------
-
-* Many changes towards output of stricter HTML.
-
-* initialization files for html 3.2, xhtml, html 4.0 with inline style,
- no header, utf8 characters outputted, makeinfo style, book style, conversion
- to chm files and conversion to roff. Initialization files are searched
- in ./, ~/.texi2html, $sysconfdir/texi2html and last $datadir/texi2html.
- The file names are html32.init, xhtml.init, inlinestyle.init,
- noheaders.init, utf8.init, makeinfo.init, book.init, chm.init and roff.init.
-
-* The test suite is much more comprehensive and uses validate and tidy to
- assess the correctness of the HTML.
-
-* Handling of @html, @verbatim, @verb, @sp, @=, @copying, @insertcopying,
- @cartouche, @titlefont, @dircategory, @direntry, @shorttitlepage, @\,
- @afourlatex, @afourwide, @firstparagraphindent, @exampleindent, @novalidate,
- @definfoenclose, @kbdinputstyle, @centerchap, @documentdescription,
- @documentencoding, @contents, @shortcontents, @verbatiminclude.
-
-* With --no-validate node cross-reference validation is suppressed (like
- @novalidate).
-
-* --expand may be specified more than once such that more than one additional
- region could be expanded. --noexpand does the reverse. --iftex, --ifinfo...
- and --no-ifinfo... can be used instead.
-
-* add http-equiv="Content-Type" tag for the charset declaration.
-
-* HTML formatting is isolated in customizable functions located in the
- initialization files.
-
-* menu comments are in a preformatted context.
-
-* Any combination of caps for `top' leads to the top node.
-
-* @ref{(perl)Top} leads to a ref to the info manual.
-
-* References to external manual in @ref and menus are links to the html
- pages (with the same convention than makeinfo --html use).
- --html-xref-prefix is the base dir for external manual references.
-
-* With --node-files do a file per node which can be used as a target for
- cross references from other manuals (including manuals generated with
- makeinfo --html).
-
-* With --use-nodes nodes are sectionning commands whe they are not associated
- with a structuring command.
-
-* With --toc-links create links from headings to toc entries.
-
-* distinct directions (next, prev...) for nodes and sections, more directions.
-
-* split at chapter, section or for every node.
-
-* new possibilities for buttons. If this is a ref to a scalar, the text
- appears in navigation. If it is an array, the first element is a direction
- used for the href, the second element is a scalar ref for the text.
-
-* With --noseparated-footnotes the footnotes are in the same page than the
- text.
-
-* %NO_TEXI hash similar with %HREF but without texinfo commands,
- %THISDOC{'title_no_texi'}
-
-* "-U value" does the same than "@clear value".
-
-* -P option prepends directory for include files before the document directory.
-
-* -macro-expand generates a file with expanded macros and @include.
-
-* pass $L2H_HTML_VERSION for the html version to latex2html.
-
-* support for css. The --css-include option does the same than in makeinfo
- (parse the file, and echo the @import part before the texi2html css rules,
- the rules part after the texi2html css rules).
- The texi2html css commands may be customized too.
-
-* Text before the first @node or sectionning command is part of the first
- section unless -ignore-preamble-text is set.
-
-* if `-' is given to the -output option, output on STDOUT.
-
-* Add images from the Singular project.
-
-* All the strings appearing in the HTML are internationalized.
-
-* centering and flushing is really handled.
-
-* Format titlepage (even though the formatted text isn't used by default).
-
-* Handle all the encodings perl knows about.
-
-* BUG FIXES
- ---------
-
-* @multitable size determination, out of bounds columns ignored.
-
-* In @table and @itemize, @item is replaced by the @-command argument.
-
-* nested @-commands are better handled.
-
-* in index keys @-commands are replaced by the right symbols.
-
-* files are omitted in hrefs when they points to the same file.
-
-* $value{_title}... are expanded during HTML generation.
-
-* @H{a} leads to a'' and not &aacute;
-
-* cedilla are accepted in node names.
-
-* Any characters are accepted in menu comments.
-
-* frame target is the top file, and not the toc file.
-
-* rewriting of the @macro code completely. This likely fixed some bugs but
- this hasn't been verified by running the new, more complex test cases
- against the old code.
-
-* rewriting of the document structure resolution.
- unnumbered regions are at the right level and splitted indices don't break
- the document structure anymore.
- index entries and footnotes are more precisely located.
-
-* @-commands ignored are ignored with the line, the arg or following spaces
- like makeinfo does.
-
-* FOR DEVELOPERS
- --------------
-
-* Standardized on Autoconf 2.59 & Automake 1.8.2
-
-* The --enable-maintainer-mode option is now required by configure to enable
- what is considered the maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles. This
- includes the portions which automatically rebuild the configure and build
- files (configure, aclocal, Makefile.in, etc) when configure.in or other
- dependencies are changed.
-
-* The config is in the Texi2HTML::Config namespace. The latex2html related
- functions are in the Texi2HTML::LaTeX2HTML namespace. The
- internationalization functions are in the Texi2HTML::I18n namespace in
- T2h_i18n.pm.
-
-1.66 (June 8 2002)
-* Many bug fixes.
-
-1.65 (August 26 2001)
-* Many bug fixes.
-* The operation of the previously broken << (FastBack) and >> (FastForward)
- buttons has changed slightly. FastBack now returns to the beginning of the
- current chapter and FastForward now jumps to the beginning of the next
- chapter.
-
-1.64 (July 3 2000)
-* Incorporated first version of Texi2html Texinfo manual, authored by
- Karl Heinz Marbaise <khmarbaise@gmx.de>
-* New handling of command line options:
- - can be abbreviated to shortest unique prefix
- -help now works and is up-to-date
-
-1.63 (June 23 2000)
-* New customization variable:
- $T2H_HREF_DIR_INSTEAD_FILE:
- if set (e.g., to index.html) replace hrefs to this file
- (i.e., to index.html) by ./
-* New command-line option:
- -toc_file FILE
- for those who want the TOC to be in FILE
-* bug fixes related to macro invocation
-
-1.62 (12 April 2000)
-* New customization variables:
- $T2H_SPLIT_INDEX [default: = 100]
- index pages are split at next letter, if more than that many entries
- $T2H_NODE_NAME_IN_MENU [default = 0]
- for enforcing node names in meny entries
- $T2H_AVOID_MENU_REDUNDANCY [default = 1]
- to avoid display of duplicate meny entry information
- $T2H_INDEX_CHAPTER [default = '']
- if set, use chapter of this name for 'Index' Button in
- navigation bars, else use first chapter whose name matches
- "index" (case insensitive).
- $T2H_TOP_HEADING [ default = '']
- if non-empty, and no heading is in Top node, then use this as heading
- for top node/section; otherwise, use @settitle, @shorttitle.
-* index generation: observes typesetting in fixed-width font, @ftable,
- @vtable implemented
-* Peter Moulder & Teun Burgers: Misc documentation and distribution
- changes
-* numerous small bugs fixed (handling of menu entries, paragraphs in
- lists/tables, etc).
-
-
-1.61 (31 March 2000)
-* By default, $T2H_TOP_FILE is not set, and so $docu_name.html is used.
-* Added T2H_print_chapter_header, T2H_print_chapter_footer for more
- fine-grained control of T2H_SPLIT eq 'chapter', added option
- -section_navigation, $T2H_SECTION_NAVIGATION to supress output of
- navigation panels per section
-* naming scheme and calling convention of customizable subs changed:
- prefix T2H_, call &$T2H_, assignment $T2H_<name> = \&T2H_DEFAULT_<name>
-* mailinglist created: texi2html@mathematik.uni-kl.de
-* conversion to standard gnu package with Makefile.am, README,
- AUTHORS, etc. (Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au>)

- where later options override previous ones.
-* incoporated patches from Peter Moulder (backward-compatible
- command-line options, separate man-page, etc).
-* Automatic node pointer creation added
-* @enddots, @exclamdown, @pounds, and relatives added.
