wdiff 1.2.2 released
Dear reader, I'm happy to announce the release of wdiff 1.2.2. Over a year after ist predecessor, this release updates the build system. One may hope that this will help building wdiff on more recent architectures. The translations for Vietnamese, Swedish, Estonian, Chinese (traditional), Brazilian Portuguese and Russian were updated as well. Thanks again to our translators! There were no modifications to the core code of the application. https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7942 is the official location of the release announcement, in case you want a URL to cite.

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.

wdiff 1.2.1 released
Dear reader, I'm happy to announce the release of wdiff 1.2.1. We now have translations for Esperanto. There were also updates for many others: Czech, German, Spanish, Finnish, Galician, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian, Serbian, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Updates to translations became neccessary due to a recent bug fix, but many of these updates contained a number of improvements besides that required change. This release uses more recent versions of autotools and gnulib. The former avoids a security vulnerability in some dist* targets, and both might help portability of this package. In case you wonder about the version number: the 1.2.0 release was a beta intended only for translators. There were no modifications to the core code of the application. https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7521 is the official location of the release announcement, in case you want a URL to cite.

wdiff 1.1.2 released
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.

wdiff 1.0.0 released
Dear reader, I'm happy to announce the next release of wdiff. This release is numbered 1.0.0 in order to reflect the fact that the code has been around for a long time and is therefore considered quite mature. So consider this change not so much as a radical program improvement of some kind, but rather a fix to the fact that some people tend to take a major version number of zero as an indication of immature software. Although the NEWS entry for this release is a bit longer than for some past releases, in terms of features and bug fixes it might as well have been called 0.6.6. So what has changed? As user noticeable changes we have updated translations for Updated Dutch, French, Danish and Slovenian as well as a completely new translation file for Ukrainian thanks to Yuri Chornoivan. The code will now give more useful results in case the diff program either cannot be executed or fails for some reason. Build time improvements include an update of our gnulib imports as well as an extension of the test suite. On the source code level, ther ewas some cleaning up, slightly improved portability with respect to file descriptor duplication, and a unification of coding style accomplished through indent.

wdiff 0.6.5 released
Dear reader, GNU wdiff 0.6.5 has been released today. This release never initializes or deinitializes terminals, as wdiff doesn't do cursor movement. As a consequence, the --no-init-term (-K) command line has been deprecated, although it's still accepted for backwards compatibility. It now has the same function as the --terminal (-t) option. The release also fixes a bug causing relative paths to appear in the command name in the man pages. The gnulib parts have been updated as well, which might be particularly important for uClibc users.

wdiff 0.6.1 released
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi there! wdiff 0.6.1 was released today, only three days after its 0.6.0 release. This release fixes a bug with the info directory information, reported by Gentoo at http://bugs.gentoo.org/312319 and causing error messages from install-info: START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY without matching END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY It also introduces a new configure switch, --with-default-pager=PATH, allowing the specification of a fallback pager application to be used for --auto-pager mode if the PAGER environment variable is unset. Furthermore, if the pager is a symlink to less, that fact is now detected and causes automatic activation of --less-mode. In 0.6.0 less was auto-detected only if the pager was no symlink, or if the symlink itself was called less as well.
