Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/diffutils/diffutils-3.3.tar.xz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/diffutils/diffutils-3.3.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
[*] 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-3.3.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 2.69.79-0bdae
Automake 1.13a
Gnulib v0.0-7898-gdb9cad7
NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.3 (2013-03-24) [stable]
** New features
--new-file (-N) and --unidirectional-new-file now allow comparisons to "-=
".
A standard input that's closed acts like a nonexistent file.
A file name containing spaces, double quotes, backslashes or control
characters is now encoded in a diff header as a double-quoted C string
literal. The escape sequences \\, \", \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v and
\ooo (a three-digit octal number between 0 and 255) are used.
** Packaging
diffutils is now designed to build with Cygwin or MinGW rather than DJGPP.
The ms subdirectory has been removed.
