A new release of diffutils, 3.3-3, has been uploaded and will soon reach a mirror near you; leaving the previous version at 3.3-2. NEWS: ===== This is a refresh build, done in order to let 64-bit diffutils take advantage of new stack overflow detection code supported by cygwin 2.1. It also fixes a packaging bug that omitted the various translation files for localized error messaging. DESCRIPTION: ============ Diffutils includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3, and sdiff. Diff compares two files and shows the differences, line by line. The cmp command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp can show the characters that differ between the two files. The diff3 command shows the differences between three files. Diff3 can be used when two people have made independent changes to a common original; diff3 can produce a merged file that contains both sets of changes and warnings about conflicts. The sdiff command can be used to merge two files interactively. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
