I released diffutils-3.3 more than three years ago, so this is a bit overdue. Please give this a workout and report success or failure. I'd like to make a release within a week or so.
diffutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/diff/diffutils-ss.tar.xz 1.3 MB http://meyering.net/diff/diffutils-ss.tar.xz.sig http://meyering.net/diff/diffutils-3.3.50-0353.tar.xz NEWS: ** New features diff accepts two new options --color and --palette to generate and configure colored output. --color takes an optional argument specifying when to colorize a line: --color=always, --color=auto, --color=never. --palette is used to configure which colors are used. ** Bug fixes When binary files differ, diff now exits with status 1 as POSIX requires. Formerly it exited with status 2. Unless the --ignore-file-name-case option is used, diff now considers file names to be equal only if they are byte-for-byte equivalent. This fixes a bug where diff in an English locale might consider two Asian file names to be the same merely because they contain no English characters. diff -B no longer generates incorrect output if the two inputs each end with a one-byte incomplete line. diff --brief no longer reports a difference for unusual identical files. For example, when comparing a file like /proc/cmdline (for which the linux kernel reports st_size of 0 even though it is not an empty file) to a copy of that file's contents residing on a "normal" file system: $ f=/proc/cmdline; cp $f k; diff --brief $f k Files /proc/cmdline and k differ ** Performance changes diff's default algorithm has been adjusted to output higher-quality results at somewhat greater computational cost, as CPUs have gotten faster since the algorithm was last tweaked in diffutils-2.6 (1993). ========================================= Changes in diffutils since v3.3:
