[platform-testers] new snapshot available: diffutils-3.11.11-7e53

[Jim Meyering]

I want to release diffutils-3.12 by Tuesday or Wednesday, so here's
a snapshot of the latest.  It's been barely two months since 3.11,
but we have these two bug fixes:

  diff -r no longer merely summarizes when comparing an empty regular
  file to a nonempty regular file.
  [bug#76452 introduced in 3.11]

  diff -y no longer crashes when given nontrivial differences.
  [bug#76613 introduced in 3.11]

Any tests (success/failure) you can tell us about would be most welcome.

Thanks from all of us,
Jim
