Dear reader, Today I'm announcing the release of wdiff 1.1.2. This new release so shortly after the 1.1.1 release aims to fix a build-time issue due to the removal of the gets function from the C language in the C11 standard. Praveen Kumar reported that this currently prevents bundling for Fedora. The fix is a backport of a single gnulib changeset.
As the fix only changes compile-time behaviour and the version number, there is no urgend need for packagers to update to 1.1.2 if they were able to build 1.1.1 all right. Unless their users complain about the outdated version number, that is. https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7255 is the official location of the release announcement, in case you want a URL to cite. You can get the latest release of wdiff from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wdiff/ or a GNU mirror of your choice. GNU wdiff is a front end to diff for comparing files on a word per word basis. A word is anything between whitespace. This is useful for comparing two texts in which a few words have been changed and for which paragraphs have been refilled. It works by creating two temporary files, one word per line, and then executes diff on these files. It collects the diff output and uses it to produce a nicer display of word differences between the original files. Greetings, Martin von Gagern
