A new release of diffutils, 3.5-1, has been uploaded and will soon reach
a mirror near you; leaving the previous version at 3.3-3.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  Notably, upstream introduced support
for colorized output.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Diffutils includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3, and sdiff.  Diff
compares two files and shows the differences, line by line.  The cmp
command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp
can show the characters that differ between the two files.  The diff3
command shows the differences between three files.  Diff3 can be used
when two people have made independent changes to a common original;
diff3 can produce a merged file that contains both sets of changes and
warnings about conflicts.  The sdiff command can be used to merge two
files interactively.
