The NEWS file describes the following change to Info-scroll-up (which SPC
is bound to in info):

** SPC and DEL in Info now handle menus consistently.

SPC and DEL scroll through an entire subtree an Info manual.  Once you
scroll through a node far enough to reach a menu, SPC begins moving
into the subnodes of the menu, starting with the first one.  When you
reach the end of a subnode, SPC moves into the next subnode, and so
on.

DEL more or less scrolls through the same text in reverse order.

However, describe-function describes Info-scroll-up as:

Info-scroll-up -- an interactive compiled Lisp function.

Read the next screen.  If end of buffer is visible, go to next entry.
