[unix-history] / usr / src / usr.bin / diff / ChangeLog

Sun Jan  6 18:42:23 1991  Michael I Bushnell  (mib at geech.ai.mit.edu)

	* Version 1.15 released.

	* version.c: Updated from 1.15 alpha to 1.15

	* context.c (print_context_number_range,
	print_unidiff_number_range): Don't print N,M when N=M, print
	just N instead.
	
	* README: Updated for version 1.15.
	Makefile: Updated for version 1.15.

	* diff3.c (main): Don't get confused if one of the arguments
	is a directory.

	* diff.c (compare_files): Don't get confused if comparing
	standard input to a directory; print error instead.

	* analyze.c (diff_2_files), context.c (print_context_header,
	print_context_script), diff.c (main), diff.h (enum
	output_style): Tread unidiff as an output style in its own
	right.  This also generates an error when both -u and -c are
	given.

	* diff.c (main): Better error messages when regexps are bad.

	* diff.c (compare_files): Don't assume stdin is opened.

	* diff3.c (read_diff): Don't assume things about the order of
	descriptor assignment and closes.

	* util.c (setup_output): Don't assume things about the order
	of descriptor assignment and closes. 

	* diff.c (compare_files): Set a flag so that closes don't
	happen more than once.

	* diff.c (main): Don't just flush stdout, do a close.  That
	way on broken systems we can still get errors.

Fri Jul 14 17:39:20 1989  Chris Hanson  (cph at kleph)

	* analyze.c: To make RCS work correctly on files that don't
	necessarily end in newline, introduce some changes that cause
	diffs to be sensitive to missing final newline.  Because
	non-RCS modes don't want to be affected by these changes, they

	(diff_2_files) [OUTPUT_RCS]: Suppress the "File X missing
	newline" message.
	(build_script) [OUTPUT_RCS]: Cause the last line to compare as
	different if exactly one of the files is missing its final
	newline.

	ignore_space_change mode.  Change line's length to include the
	newline.  For OUTPUT_RCS, decrement last line's length if

	missing a final newline, make sure it's not included in either
	the prefix or suffix.

	* io.c (slurp): Leave 2 chars space at end of buffer, not one.
	(find_identical_ends): Special case if either file is empty;

	don't move past buffer-beg.
