+4.6 (10 June 2003)
+* Language:
+  . new command @/ specifies an allowable breakpoint within a line.
+  . new command @dofirstparagraphindent to control whether the first
+    paragraph following a section heading is indented.  Default is to
+    omit this indentation, unlike the output up to now.
+  . new command @indent for explicitly indenting a paragraph.
+  . makeinfo writes a new construct for @image in Info output, so that
+    graphical Info browsers (such as Emacs Info under X) can display an
+    actual image.  (Standalone Info ignores this, since it runs in a tty.)
+* makeinfo:
+  . Common:
+    - search for image files in the include file search path.
+    - warns if @value is used on an undefined variable.
+  . Info output:
+    - default --split-size now 300,000 bytes, up from 50,000.
+    - with --enable-encoding and a given @documentencoding,
+      output a Local Variables section specifying that encoding, for use
+      with Emacs.
+  . HTML output:
+    - uses <h3> at the smallest.
+    - a few css <style> definitions are included to better
+      implement @format, @display, @small..., etc.
+    - new option --css-include=FILE includes FILE in the <style>.
+    - @cartouche now outputs a <table> with a border.
+* texinfo.tex:
+  . new Polish translation txi-pl.tex.
+* texi2dvi:
+  . --command=CMD replaces --texinfo=CMD; it inserts CMD at the first
+    line of LaTeX files now, or after the @setfilename for Texinfo files.
+* info:
+  . RET now goes to the nearest xref (rather like Emacs Info),
+    instead of the next xref starting on the current line.
+* Distribution:
+  . new Romanian (ro) translation.
+  . variables now declared const where appropriate.
+  . gettext 0.12.1, automake 1.7.5.
