GNU patch: 2.6.1 release (mostly bugfixes)

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 [email protected] mailing list archive, and the project's bug tracker are available at:

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

Please email bugs or suggestions to <[email protected]>. Check the bug tracker for a list of known issues.

Thanks,
