Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 7.2 (23 December 2024)
 * Build
   - "make install" installs files for texi2any under $datadir/texi2any,
 not
     $datadir/texinfo-

 * texinfo-tex
   - use @ as the escape character in all index files.  this requires
     new enough texi2dvi (Texinfo 6-7, 2019) for index files to be
     properly processed-
   - a bug has been fixed where a mangled PDF outline could be produced for
     a document using @unnumberedsec
   - you can call @unmacro with an undefined macro name, matching the
     behavior of texi2any

 * texi2any
   - set CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE by default.  this means texi2any
     again checks menu structure by default (changed in 6-8 release, 2021).
   - only allow @definfoenclose to be used to redefine highlighting
 commands
   - sorting of indices is now independent of the input or output encodings
   - new customization variable COLLATION_LANGUAGE to allow linguistic
     tailoring of index sorting
   - new variable DOCUMENTLANGUAGE_COLLATION to use @documentlanguage for
     linguistic tailoring of index sorting
   - new variable USE_UNICODE_COLLATION to allow turning off the slower
     use of Unicode collation when sorting indices
   - rename BODYTEXT customization variable to BODY_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTES
   - rename COMPLEX_FORMAT_IN_TABLE customization variable to
     INDENTED_BLOCK_COMMANDS_IN_TABLE
   - remove the following variables: AVOID_MENU_REDUNDANCY, FRAMES,
     FRAMESET_DOCTYPE, NO_USE_SETFILENAME, SILENT,
 USE_UP_NODE_FOR_ELEMENT_UP
   - remove SIMPLE_MENU variable and tree transformation
   - the use of the directories ~/.texinfo and ~/.texi2any for
 configuration
     files is deprecated, and should be replaced by texinfo or texi2any
     directories under XDG_CONFIG_HOME (usually ~/-config/).  the new
     locations are compatible with the XDG Base Directory Specification-
     in future versions, the ~/-texinfo and ~/.texi2any directories will
     not be in search paths-
   - do not try the us-ascii encoding anymore as a locale for translated
     document strings-
   - some unused translation files have been removed for the
     `texinfo_document' domain
   - Info output:
       - output Info-documentlanguage in Local Variables section of output
         file if @documentlanguage is given
   - HTML, Texinfo and raw text output:
       - an implementation of the conversion in C has been included, which
         is much faster than the code in Perl- set the `TEXINFO_XS_CONVERT'
         environment variable to 1 to use-
   - HTML output:
       - CHECK_HTMLXREF set by default for warnings about links to unknown
         external manuals
       - you can use the MATHJAX_CONFIGURATION customization variable to
 add
         data to the MathJax configuration object
       - warn if there is a .inf or .info suffix for cross-reference manual
       - use <pre> instead of <div><em> for output of @displaymath
       - remove border, cellpadding, cellspacing and align attributes.  add
         classes and use CSS when needed-
   - EPUB output:
       - stricter conformance for conformance checkers

 * info
   - check for init file under XDG_CONFIG_HOME/texinfo/infokey after
     checking ~/.infokey, in accordance with the XDG Base Directory
     Specification

 * Distribution
   . automake 1.17, autoconf 2.72, gettext 0.22.5, libtool 2.5.3
