Or if automatic redirection fails, the list of mirrors is at:

Or if need be you can use the main GNU ftp server:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.0.tar.xz
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-5.0.tar.gz
Or via rsync://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/; some mirrors also support rsync.
As you might imagine, there are numerous changes since the previous
release (4.13, over four long years ago). By far the biggest change is
a complete reimplementation of makeinfo. It is now much more flexible
but also, sadly, much slower, despite all our optimization efforts. We
hope all the many improvements make the new version worthwhile for users
nevertheless.

Special thanks to my colleagues Patrice Dumas (for creating the new makeinfo)
and Sergey Poznyakoff (for maintaining the standalone Info).
A late pretest of the upcoming Texinfo 5.0 release is available: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.13.94.tar.xz
Testing would be greatly appreciated. Aside from a few remaining doc tweaks, as far as I know this is what will be 5.0.
There have been many, many changes since the last official release (4.13, too many years ago). The description can be read here:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texinfo/texinfo/NEWS?view=markup
The biggest change is replacing the C implementation of makeinfo with a Perl implementation. The NEWS file and the manual discuss the new version in detail.
