+Changes in version 2.1:
+
+* A few more portability bugs have been fixed.  The version number has
+  been changed from 2.0.12g11 to 2.1, because the name
+  `patch-2.0.12g10' was too long for traditional Unix file systems.
+
+Versions 2.0.12g9 through 2.0.12g11 fix various portability bugs.
+
+Changes in version 2.0.12g8:
+
+* Start of the 12g series, with a GNU-style configure script and
+  long-named options.
+* Added the -t --batch option, similar to -f.
+* Improved detection of files that are locked under RCS or SCCS.  
+* Reinstate the -E option to remove output files that are empty after
+  being patched.
+* Print the system error message when system calls fail.
+* Fixed various bugs and portability problems.
