+- updated to 1.56:
+  + add -K option which attempts to improve the annotation of "only"
+    files by looking for a match in the resulting set of files and
+    inferring whether the file was added or removed (request by Marc
+    Haber).
+  + add check of command-line options for valid numbers.
+  + improve merging of patches for the same filename (report/testcase by
+    Paul E McKenney).
+  + document -d option in manpage.
+  + document -b, -C, -s option in usage (patch by Tim Waugh, Red Hat
+    #852770)
+  + modify configure script as done for byacc in 2012/10/03, making the
+    2.52-patches the prerequisite and adding support for --datarootdir
+    option.
+  + update config.guess, config.sub
+  + add logic to handle SVN diffs when the pathnames contain spaces
+    (patch by Stuart Prescott, Debian #675475).
+  + fix typo in package/debian/control
