29
+ - blame: use xdi_diff_hunks(), get rid of struct patch
30
+ - add xdi_diff_hunks() for callers that only need hunk lengths
31
+ - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
32
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
33

35
+* ds/uintmax-config (Sun Oct 26 03:52:47 2008 -0800) 2 commits
36
+ - Add Makefile check for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY
37
+ - Build: add NO_UINTMAX_T to support ancient systems
38
+
39
+I amended the topmost one to widen the applicability of this new feature
40
+to all FreeBSD 4.*, not limited to 4.9-SECURITY; testing before this hits
41
+'next' is appreciated.
42

43
+* ds/autoconf (Sun Nov 2 01:04:46 2008 -0700) 2 commits
44
+ - DONTMERGE: fixup with a convenience macro
45
+ - autoconf: Add link tests to each AC_CHECK_FUNC() test
46
+
47
+The topmost one is my attempt to simplify the new way of checking; the
48
+resulting configure.ac produces the identical configure script with or
49
+without it, so I think it is Ok, but testing before this hits 'next' is
50
+appreciated. If all goes well, I think the two should be squashed into
51
+one patch.
