Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

. don't add an extra period before file extension given as an argument
to @image if image file is not found
* info

* texi2dvi
. stop on first error in input file
* texinfo.tex

Full changelog as retrieved from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/plain/NEWS:
6.7 (23 September 2019)
* Language:
. support of index subentries and sub-subentries with @subentry
. new commands @seeentry and @seealso in index entries
. no need to wrap Top node in @ifnottex - omitted automatically when
processed with TeX
. UTF-8 is the default input encoding
* texi2any
. for HTML output, mark index nodes in menus and tables of contents
with the 'rel' attribute of the 'a' tag.
. TOP_NODE_UP is now only used in HTML if TOP_NODE_UP_URL is set.
Also TOP_NODE_UP should now be formatted in the output format.
In HTML TOP_NODE_UP should be suitable for inclusion in HTML
element attributes, so for instance should not contain elements.
. support of noderename.cnf files has been removed
. INPUT_PERL_ENCODING, INPUT_ENCODING_NAME, NODE_FILE_EXTENSION,
NODE_FILENAMES, SHORTEXTN and TOP_NODE_FILE removed as customization
variables.
. TOP_NODE_FILE_TARGET now contains the extension.
. error messages translated when the XS parser module is in use
* texi2dvi
. unconditionally run in --batch mode, i.e. without stopping if there
is a TeX error
. keep on going after a TeX error if the index files changed
. with --tidy (or --build-dir), avoid reading index files from previous
runs where --tidy was not used
* info
. for a tree search (with M-/), '}' and '{' work as well as 'M-}' and
'M-{' to go through the results
* Distribution:
. Several obsolete portability checks removed
. gettext 0.20.1, automake 1.16.1
No rootfile changes were necessary.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)
