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.
