On Fri, 19 Aug 2005 Frederik Tilmann submitted an update to the

   latexdiff

package.

Location on CTAN: /support/latexdiff
Summary description: Determine and mark up significant differences between latex files
License type: gpl

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
latexdiff is a Perl script, which compares two latex files and marks
up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files).
  Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex
packages such as "color.sty". Changes not directly affecting visible
text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in
the latex source.

A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script,
latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes.  Manual
editing of the difference file can be used to override this default
behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only.

This is a significant update (from version 0.2 to 0.3). Major changes are
the introduction of CVS support, and much improved reliability for inlined
math, plus several bug fixes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the update.

For the CTAN Team
