  1. Done in automake 1.13.2:
  2. ------------------------
  3. I have discouraged the use of '.txi' and '.texinfo' suffixes for
  4. Texinfo inputs (see commit 'v1.13.1-6-ge1ed314') and the generation
  5. of suffix-less info files (commit 'v1.13.1-4-g2af418d').
  6. This is done to ease transition to Automake-NG (see commits
  7. 'v1.12.1-416-gd5459b9' and 'v1.12.1-392-ga0c7b6a' there), and
  8. (to a lesser degree) to discourage use of seldom-tested setups.
  9. The Future:
  10. -----------
  11. I have no plans to do the further step of removing support for those
  12. usages in future Automake versions. That would be a gratuitous
  13. incompatibility (in Automake-NG, they have been useful because have
  14. allowed further refactorings and improvements, but those were
  15. based on GNU make features, and as such have no place in mainline
  16. Automake).
