Hello,
I want to release diffutils-3.3, primarily to make it so
the latest release is not susceptible to CVE-2012-3386.
Here's the current state of NEWS:
** New features
--new-file (-N) and --unidirectional-new-file now allow comparisons to "-".
A standard input that's closed acts like a nonexistent file.
A file name containing spaces, double quotes, backslashes or control
characters is now encoded in a diff header as a double-quoted C string
literal. The escape sequences \\, \", \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v and
\ooo (a three-digit octal number between 0 and 255) are used.
** Packaging
diffutils is now designed to build with Cygwin or MinGW rather than DJGPP.
The ms subdirectory has been removed.
If anyone has issues for which a release should be delayed,
please speak up.
Otherwise, I'll probably tag the release in the next few days.
As I type this, I'm updating to latest gnulib+bootstrap,
but don't plan any other changes.
Jim
