This is an update to the latest upstream release. See the release announcement (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2016-02/msg00035.html) for a list of changes since the last 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/makeinfo is in the texinfo package, but the command 'makeinfo --pdf' won't work unless you install texinfo-tex. This release of the info package also contains a postinstall script that was previously in the _update-info-dir package, which is now obsolete.

I have just found the cause: From strace output it can be observed that version 6.1 get an access violation exception after trying to read from the .infokey file. And then, info-6.1 crashes if the .infokey file contains the lines that disable the default key bindings by overriding them with the action 'invalid' according to as described in info-stnd manual. Perhaps it is an upstream bug. -- Mike -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Thanks for the report. I can confirm this on 64-bit Cygwin but not 32-bit. I'll look into it.
