Changes in version 2.8:
* The --follow-symlinks option now applies to output files as well as input.
* 'patch' now supports file timestamps after 2038 even on traditional
GNU/Linux platforms where time_t defaults to 32 bits.
* 'patch' no longer creates files with names containing newlines,
as encouraged by POSIX.1-2024.
* Patches can no longer contain NUL ('\0') bytes in diff directive lines.
These bytes would otherwise cause unpredictable behavior.
* Patches can now contain sequences of spaces and tabs around line numbers
and in other places where POSIX requires support for these sequences.
* --enable-gcc-warnings no longer uses expensive static checking.
Use --enable-gcc-warnings=expensive if you still want it.
* Fix undefined or ill-defined behavior in unusual cases, such as very
large sizes, possible stack overflow, I/O errors, memory exhaustion,
races with other processes, and signals arriving at inopportune moments.
* Remove old "Plan B" code, designed for machines with 16-bit pointers.
* Assume C99 or later; previously it assumed C89 or later.
* Port to current GCC, Autoconf, Gnulib, etc.

Copyright
As LibreELEC includes code from many upstream projects it has many copyright owners; notably OpenELEC which we forked from after disagreeing with project direction and management, and OpenBricks/GeeXboX the uncredited source of the original 2009 build system. LibreELEC makes no claim of copyright on any upstream code. However all original LibreELEC authored code is copyright LibreELEC.tv. Patches to upstream code have the same license as the upstream project unless specified otherwise. For a complete copyright list please checkout the source code to examine license headers. Unless expressly stated otherwise all code submitted to the LibreELEC project (in any form) is licensed under GPLv2 and copyright is donated to the project. This approach gives the project freedom to maintain the code without the overhead of preserving contact with every submitter, e.g. GPLv3. You are free to retain copyright by adding your copyright header to each submitted code page. If you submit code that is not your own work it is your responsibility to place a header stating the copyright.
