A new release of diffutils, 3.3-2, has been uploaded and will soon reach a mirror near you; leaving the previous version at 3.2-1 on 32-bit and 3.3-1 on 64-bit.
NEWS: ===== This represents the first build of diffutils by a new maintainer. The 32-bit version is a new upstream release from what was previously available; and adds the use of libsigsegv for more graceful handling of stack overflow failures. The 64-bit build is just a refresh to keep the two builds in sync (libsigsegv has still not been ported to 64-bit; help on that front would be appreciated). 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.
