- Hi, people. (info-gnu mailing list, GNU wdiff THANKS file members)
-
- The program wdiff is a front end to diff for comparing files on a word
- per word basis. A word is anything between whitespace. This program
- is particularily useful for comparing two texts in which a few words
- have been changed and for which paragraphs have been refilled.
-
- A new release will soon be available on prep.ai.mit.edu, in directory
- pub/gnu, as file wdiff-0.04.tar.Z. All reported bugs have been fixed.
- Thanks to all those who contributed comments or suggestions.
-
- Installation has been simplified. Flex is not anymore required for
- non ANSI-C compilers. wdiff uses the first found of gnudiff, diffgnu,
- gdiff or diff. Some other portability problems have been alleviated.
- Here is a list of differences from version 0.03, extracted from NEWS:
-
- * Add -a for automatic pager call, disallow this by default.
- * Add -l for less-like overstriking.
- * Add -n to forbid wrapping of differences.
- * New cbars script for producing change bars.
- * man page for wdiff 0.04. Contributed and supported by contributor.
