 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* Language:
+  . The commands address@hidden' and
+    address@hidden' have been removed.
+
+* texinfo.tex:
+  . For a couple of characters (opening and closing braces), use glyphs
+    from the standard TeX math fonts instead of using EC fonts which are 
+    less likely to be installed.
+  . Use of user-defined macros in the text of an index entry is more
+    reliable when the text contains Texinfo @-commands.
+  . Support added for native UTF-8 support with XeTeX and LuaTeX.
+  . Support of PDF output with XeTeX improved.
+  . You can use a new file doc/texinfo-ja.tex for Texinfo documents in
+    Japanese.  doc/short-sample-ja.tex is a sample document.  New 
+    support file doc/txi-ja.tex for Japanese.
+
+* texi2any:
+  . New option `--javascript-ref'.  (TODO: Add documentation.)
+  . Fix handling of compiler options when building Perl extension modules.
+  . Bug fixed which made the `--command' and `--tidy' options incompatible.
+
+* texi2dvi:
+  . Can now process files whose absolute paths contain space characters,
+    as long a relative path to the file is given.  Better support of 
+    files with unusual characters in their names.
+  . No longer exits prematurely in some circumstances (due to the script
+    running under "set -e").
+
+* info:
+  . Handling of "invalid" value in infokey file fixed.
