   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
