I haven't updated the Info manual because I plan to make more changes to the Emacs Info reader: isearch across several Info nodes and a backward search. I think these changes should be included into the next release because the stand-alone Info reader already has these features and the Emacs Info reader should be as close in functionality to the stand-alone Info reader as possible. I hope to finish these changes in a few days. Apart from these changes, I documented all installed changes briefly in etc/NEWS. So we could start documenting installed changes in the Info manual and add the newest changes later. However, I don't know what is the right procedure for synchronizing the Emacs version of info.texi with the Texinfo distribution. If you wish to update the Info manual and know how to sync it with the Texinfo distribution, please do. If not, I might take care of that. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
