An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for wdiff fixes the following issues:

This update ships wdiff.

Updated to 1.2.2:

 * Updated Vietnamese, Swedish, Estonian, Chinese (traditional),
   Brazilian Portuguese and Russian translations.
 * Updated gnulib.
 * Used more recent autotools: autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.14.1.

updated to 1.2.1:

 * Added Esperanto translation.
 * Updated Czech, German, Spanish, Finnish, Galician, Italian, Dutch,
   Polish, Slovenian, Serbian, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese
   translations.
 * Updated gnulib.
 * Recreated build system using recent versions of autotools. This will
   avoid security issues in "make distcheck" target. (CVE-2012-3386)

updated to 1.1.2:

 * Backport gnulib change to deal with removal of gets function. This is
   a build-time-only fix. (Mentioned in Fedora bug #821791)
 * Added Serbian translation.
 * Updated Danish and Vietnamese translations.
 * Work around a bug in the formatting of the man page. (Debian bug
   #669340)
 * Updated Czech, German, Spanish, Finnish, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian,
   Swedish and Ukrainian translations.
 * Fix several issue with the use of screen in the test suite.
 * Allow WDIFF_PAGER to override PAGER environment variable.
 * Do not autodetect less, so we don't auto-enable less-mode. This should
   improve things for UTF8 text. (Savannah bug #34224) Less-mode is
   considered deprecated, as it isn't fit for multi-byte encodings.
   Nevertheless it can still be enabled on the command line.
 * Introduces use of ngettext to allow correct handling of plural forms

updated to 1.0.1:

 * Updated Polish, Ukrainian, Slovenian, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish and
   Czech translations
 * Changed major version to 1 to reflect maturity of the package
 * Updated Dutch, French, Danish and Slovenian translations
 * Added Ukrainian translation
 * Improved error reporting in case a child process has problems
 * Added tests to the test suite
 * Updated gnulib

updated to 0.6.5:

 * Never initialize or deinitialize terminals, as we do no cursor movement
 * Deprecated --no-init-term (-K) command line option
 * Avoid relative path in man pages
 * Updated gnulib, might be particularly important for uClibc users

updated to 0.6.4:

 * Updated Catalan translations
 * Updated gnulib

update to 0.6.3:

 * `wdiff -d' to read input from single unified diff, perhaps stdin.
 * Updated texinfo documentation taking experimental switch into account.
 * Experimental programs (mdiff & friends) and a configure switch
   --enable-experimental to control them.
 * Recent imports from gnulib, use of recent autotools.
 * Improved autodetection of termcap library like ncurses.
 * Reformatted translations, still a number of fuzzy translations.
 * Changed from CVS to bzr for source code version control.
 * Various bug fixes. See ChangeLog for a more exhaustive list.
 * Introduce --with-default-pager=PAGER configure switch.
 * Fix missing newline in info dir entry list.
 * Fix shell syntax in configure script
 * Updated gnulib and gettext, the latter to 0.18
 * Updated Dutch translation
 * Fixed a number of portability issues reported by maint.mk syntax checks
 * Updated Italian and Swedish translations
 * Updated gnulib
