I have released version 4.9 of Texinfo, the GNU documentation format.
The principal change is to update to GPLv3 (see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). There are also new versions of
texinfo.tex and texi2dvi (but nothing else, yet). Details below.
You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.9.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.9.tar.bz2
and its mirrors worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).
The Texinfo home page is http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the release, as always. Credits are
in the ChangeLog.

texinfo 4.9 (29 June 2007)
* GPLv3.
* texi2dvi:
. new mode --build=tidy which supports compilation in a separate
directory, where intermediate files are preserved.
. new option --build-dir, to specify where the tidy build will take
place, either locally or globally. This allows avoiding the clutter
while preserving auxiliary files.
. new support for AUC-TeX: texi2dvi (weakly) supports arguments a la
TeX such as `\nonstopmode\input{file.tex}'.
. new options --ps and --dvipdf, useful especially for pstricks documents.
. new option --src-specials, passed to TeX.
* texinfo.tex:
. Latin1, Latin2, Latin9, and UTF-8 are supported as well as Computer
Modern can manage.
. png and jpg images supported in pdf output.
. new Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian translations for texinfo.tex:
txi-ru.tex, txi-sr.tex, txi-uk.tex.
. section names with \ characters work properly in pdf outlines.
. have .toc files use @ as the escape character, instead of \.
