As a side + effect, the additional merging eliminates occasional reports with + zero differences. + + + modified to avoid buffer overflows. + + + fixes for Debian #155000 (did not handle a '-' in first content-column + of a unified diff) and #170947 (option to turn the progress messages + off). + + + updated configure script using aclocal.m4 macros + + + update makefile.in to improve use of autoconf (report/patch by Nix + <nix@esperi.demon.co.uk>). + +2002-08-20 (diffstat 1.31) + + + add -u, -k options to override diffstat's normal sorting (-u) and + merging (-k) of identical filenames. (-u requested by H Peter Anvin + <hpa@zytor.com>). + +2002-08-09 (diffstat 1.30) + + + allow either '/' or '-' as delimiters in dates, to accommodate + gendiff (report by Rik van Riel <riel@conectiva.com.br>). This + corresponds to the time format used in diffutils 2.8 whose changelog + states that this is ISO 8601 (though online references differ). + +2001-10-10 (diffstat 1.29) + + + add bzip2 (.bz2) suffix (suggested by Gregory T Norris + <haphazard@socket.net>, Debian #82969). + + + add check for diff from RCS archive where the "diff" lines do not + reference a filename. + +2000-03-29 (diffstat 1.28) + + + Add -c option (to prefix output with '#' comment), eliminating a step + in my script that combines diffstat output with a patch. This is a + workaround for OSF1's broken sed utility. + + + Check for compressed file suffixes .Z and .gz, read uncompressed data + via pipe (Debian wishlist item #53975 by ch@lathspell.westend.com). + + + Simplified makefile based on comments by M Sweger + <mikesw@whiterose.net> + + + Adapted changes from Troy Engel <tengel@sonic.net> as "-f" option. + +1998-05-27 (diffstat 1.27) + + + Debian diff's don't show dates on the lines where we expect to see + filenames. + +1998-01-16 (diffstat 1.26, Patch 5) + + + Change copyright terms. + + + Accommodate patches w/o tabs in header lines (e.g., from cut/paste). + Still prefer the tabs because otherwise we cannot have spaces in + filenames. + + + Strip suffixes such as ".orig", to avoid confusing output. + +1996-03-16 (diffstat 1.24, Patch 4) + + + Corrected state-transition after "Binary". + + + Added testing subdirectory + + + Added -p option. + + + Handle differences from /tmp (e.g., for X11R5 patches). + +1995-05-06 (diffstat 1.17 Patch 3) + + + Repost whole program to comp.sources.misc (1.17) + + + Mods to scaling: limit to 1:1 if only a few changes were made; added + logic to accumulate error across +/-/! calls. + + + added logic to recognize 'rcsdiff -u' output. + +1994-12-26 (diffstat 1.15, Patch 2) + + + Strip common pathname prefix (1.15) + +1994-11-13 (diffstat 1.14, Patch 1) + + + Test for <string.h> vs <strings.h> + + + Corrected error in 'match()' that didn't handle properly the case + when an argument was a null string (i.e., blank lines in a unified + diff). + + + Added options '-n' and '-V' + + + Added patchlev.h, CHANGES files. + + + Added install.sh, for autoconf 2.1 + +1994-06-13 (diffstat 1.12, Patch 0) + + + Initial release of 'diffstat' (1.12). |
