GNU diff utilities - Summary
This project is part of the GNU Project.
The GNU diffutils are comprised of diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp, utilities for showing differences between files. The manual also documents patch, which uses diff output to update files. At present, the patch source is maintained in a separate savannah project.
We'd like to add the wdiff and patch utilities, as well as maintain the utilities more actively. If you can volunteer to help with this, please email maintainers@gnu.org. (The prerelease version on alpha.gnu.org has the latest available source, if you want to peruse.)

The diffutils source code is now available via CVS on Savannah. The primary user-visible change since 2.8.7 is to bring back support for usages like "diff -c3" even when strictly conforming to POSIX. Due to changes in the way that binary files are supported on DOS there may be new problems with binary files; we'll need a DOS expert to fix that.
