User-visible changes in version 2.8.6:
* New diff3 option --strip-trailing-cr.
* With -N and -P, inaccessible empty regular files (the kind of files
that 'patch' creates to indicate nonexistent backups) are now
treated as nonexistent when they are in the 'backup' file position.
* If multiple SKIP values are given to cmp, e.g., `cmp -i 10 -i 20',
cmp now uses the maximal value instead of the last one.
* diff now omits the ".000000000" on hosts that do not support
fractional time stamps.
Version 2.8.5 was not publicly released.
User-visible changes in version 2.8.4:
* Diff now simply prints "Files A and B differ" instead of "Binary
files A and B differ". The message is output if either A or B
appears to be a binary file, and the old wording was misleading
because it implied that both files are binary, which is not
necessarily the case.
User-visible changes in version 2.8.3:
* New locale: en_US.
