[wdiff-bugs] wdiff 0.5.92 pre-test released

[Denver Gingerich]

wdiff 0.5.92 is available at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/wdiff-0.5.92.tar.gz or from CVS (tagged
RELEASE_0_5_92).  This version fixes almost all of the issues
described on this mailing list within the past year so if you've
reported something, please verify that this version fixes it.  In case
you're wondering why it's so big (719K vs 413K for 0.5.91), that's
mainly due to the plethora of translations imported since 0.5.91.

Here are the issues left to fix:
- cleanup remaining documentation problems described by Benno [1]; the
ones he specifically described are fixed but there still appears to be
quite a disconnect between the info page, the --help output and the
actual behavior of the applications
- fix issue with manpages not being cleaned up after "./configure;
make; make dist; make distclean"; original issue reported by Santiago
[2]

I still have to update some copyright information, the ChangeLogs and
the gnulib files, but this version should be basically releasable.
Please report any issues you have with this version.

I would really appreciate some help with updating the info pages to
reflect the real behavior of the programs.  It should be fairly
straight-forward, but I can provide some pointers if needed.  Patches
are very welcome.

If anyone knows of an easy way to extract all of the CVS commit logs
between two revisions, let me know.  The CVS commit logs are very
detailed and would serve as a nice ChangeLog for this release until I
update the ChangeLogs.
