1Hello.
2
3I'm please to announce the release of the DJGPP port of XDelta 1.1.2.
4This release contains mainly minor bugfixes over the previous
5version (1.1.1). Please see the file 'contrib/xdlt112/news' for
6a complete list of changes.
7
8Here is a description of XDelta, from its 'readme' file:
9
10"XDelta is a library interface and application program designed to compute
11changes between files. These changes (deltas) are similar to the output
12of the "diff" program in that they may be used to store and transmit only
13the changes between files. However, unlike diff, the output of XDelta is
14not expressed in a human-readable format--XDelta can also also apply these
15deltas to a copy of the original file(s). XDelta uses a fast, linear
16algorithm and performs well on both binary and text files. XDelta
17typically outperforms GNU diff in both time and generated-delta-size, even
18for plain text files. XDelta also includes a simple implementation of the
19Rsync algorithm and several advanced features for implementing RCS-like
20file-archival with."

24The port is available from the DJGPP archive on SimTel.NET:

29These are binary and source distributions respectively. If you only want
30to use XDelta, please download the binary distribution. If you would like
31to rebuild XDelta, please download the source distribution. No changes
32were required to port XDelta to DJGPP.
33
34Thanks to Joshua MacDonald for incorporating the DJGPP patches into
35XDelta. Thanks to Eli Zaretskii for his detailed bug reports, suggestions
36and testing of XDelta in the past.

38If you have any problems, suggestions, etc. about the port, please mail
