+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.
+
