 * Patch no longer gets a failed assertion for certain mangled patches.
 * Patch now ignores destination file names that are absolute or that contain
-  a component of "..".  This addresses CVE-2010-4651,
-* Support for most features of the "diff --git" format: renames and copies,
-  permission changes, symlink diffs.  Caveats:
-  + Binary diffs are not supported yet; patch will complain and skip them.
-  + In the "diff --git" format, all the patches are relative to the original
-    state of the files to patch, allowing things like criss-cross renames.
-    GNU patch will currently fail for such patches.

 * Support for double-quoted filenames in the "diff --git" format: when a
-  filename in a context diff starts with a double quote, it is interpreted
-  as a C string literal.  The escape sequences \\, \", \a, \b, \f, \n, \r,
-  \t, \v, and \ooo (a three-digit octal number between 0 and 255) are
-  recognized.
-* Refuse to patch read-only files by default, or at least warn when patching
-  such files with --force or --batch.

+* When trying to modify a read-only file, warn about the potential problem
+  by default.  The --read-only command line option allows to change this

+* Files that should be deleted are now deleted once the entire patch file has
+  been read.  This fixes a bug with numbered backup files.
 * When a timestamp specifies a time zone, honor that instead of assuming the
   local time zone (--set-date) or Universal Coordinated Time (--set-utc).
 * Support for nanosecond precision timestamps.
