 * texi2any
- . info output: output Info-documentlanguage in Local Variables section
-   of output file if @documentlanguage is given
- . sorting of indices is independent of the input or output encodings
- . new variable COLLATION_LANGUAGE to allow linguistic tailoring of
-   index sorting
- . new variable DOCUMENTLANGUAGE_COLLATION to use @documentlanguage for
-   the linguistic tailoring of index sorting
- . new variable USE_UNICODE_COLLATION to allow turning off the slower
-   use of Unicode collation when sorting indices
- . add XDG Base Directory Specification support for search paths
-   the dot directories directly found in users home, ~/.texinfo and
-   ~/.texi2any are deprecated and should be replaced by texinfo or
-   texi2any directories in XDG_CONFIG_HOME or in ~/.config/.  in future
-   versions the ~/.texinfo and ~/.texi2any directories will not be
-   in search paths.
- . remove SIMPLE_MENU customization option and tree transformation

- . add MATHJAX_CONFIGURATION customization variable
- . some unused translation files have been removed for the
-   "texinfo_document" domain

- . EPUB:
-   . stricter conformance for conformance checkers
