Created attachment 475780 [details, diff] unescaped-lbracket-5.26.patch So, I have a patch that appears to make it compile and pass tests, but I'm gonna want feedback before I submit it upstream. I'm not sure I'm reading the test output right, and I want somebody who knows what they're doing to review the tests and make sure I didn't introduce any breakage.
Created attachment 475782 [details] build log from a successful patch + compile on latexdiff 1.2.0
Patch probably easier to read in this format: http://dev.gentoo.org/~kentnl/scratch/bug-617754/cdiff.html
FWIW, here I have: The compilation of the following programs resulted in problems: rapine_et_al-diff.tex gershwin12-diff.tex gershwin34-diff.tex outerrise-diff.tex While you get: The compilation of the following programs resulted in problems: rapine_et_al-diff.tex island_obs2004-diff.tex gershwin12-diff.tex gershwin34-diff.tex schneider-diff.tex outerrise-diff.tex rolla-diff.tex apacite-test-diff.tex units-diff.tex figures-diff.tex It'd be interesting to understand why those fail. As for those that do not fail, just open the pdf and look at something weird. Note that upstream seems to already have related fixes, such as https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff/commit/f10759b525dbc94aefdbba1eb2c5a0951e9dccc5
https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff/issues/104
I've added a live ebuild for testing git master. Let's see how that fares.
According to https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff/issues/104 there is a 1.2.1 release which is expected to fix the problem. Maybe, version bump?
