The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* texinfo-7.0.1-1
* texinfo-tex-7.0.1-1
* info-7.0.1-1

Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to produce 
output in a number of formats, both online and printed (HTML, PDF, DVI, Info, 
DocBook, LaTeX, EPUB 3, etc.).

This is an update to the latest upstream release.  See

   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2022-11/msg00036.html
   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2022-11/msg00237.html

for a list of changes since the previous release.

Cygwin packaging
================
The info package contains the standalone info viewer as well as the install-info 
program.  The texinfo package contains everything else except support for the 
printable output formats (such as pdf).  The texinfo-tex package supplies the 
latter.  In particular, /usr/bin/texi2any is in the texinfo package, but the 
command 'texi2any --pdf' won't work unless you install texinfo-tex.
