Some glitches in release 2.6 of GNU patch made a new release 2.6.1 necessary, 
available from:

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/

The previous release was on 13 November.  NEWS since then:

* Support for diff3(1) style merges which show the old, original, and new
  lines of a conflict has been added (--merge=diff3).  The default still is
  the merge(1) format (--merge or --merge=merge).
* Bug and portability fixes.

The source code repository, a bug-patch@gnu.org mailing list archive, and the 
project's bug tracker are available at:

	http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/patch

Please email bugs or suggestions to <bug-patch@gnu.org>.  Check the bug 
tracker for a list of known issues.


Thanks,
Andreas
