texinfo 4.2c pretest available

*
Hello Texinfo friends,

I've released texinfo pretest 4.2c to:
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tar.gz
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.gz
and
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tar.bz2
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.bz2

NEWS is below, such as it is.  This release is intended to be for bug fixes.

If there are significant bugs you would like to see addressed in this
release, please let me know -- even if they've already been reported.
(I have a couple hundred outstanding bug reports, so any feedback will
help me prioritize.)

If nothing else comes up, I hope to make the release in a few days.

Please email me or the list ([email protected]) with questions
or problems.  Do not email the regular texinfo lists, they should remain
for official releases.

Thanks,
[email protected]
