_______________________________________________________
Details:
Recent versions of GNU Texinfo have made some markup improvements, including
the appearance of the @samp macro (see this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2015-12/msg00119.html).
New versions also change makeinfo from a compiled program to a Perl script. Is
Perl already included in the Windows installer? If not that could be a
significant blocker to upgrading.
