==================================================================

Here is the GNU diffutils home page:
    http://gnu.org/s/diffutils/

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=diffutils.git;a=shortlog;h=v3.5
or run this command from a git-cloned diffutils directory:
  git shortlog v3.4..v3.5

To summarize the 5 gnulib-related changes, run these commands
from a git-cloned diffutils directory:
  git checkout v3.5
  git submodule summary v3.4

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-3.5.tar.xz
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-3.5.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/diffutils/diffutils-3.5.tar.xz
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/diffutils/diffutils-3.5.tar.xz.sig

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify diffutils-3.5.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69.147-5ad35
  Automake 1.99a
  Gnulib v0.1-825-g1eb82ad
