Subject: texlive <at> 2017: Update to at least revision 44704 to address bug in
 latexdiff
Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2017 11:14:53 -0300

Since Perl 5.26.0, braces in RegExps have to be escaped if one wants
Perl to match these literally.

However, texlive <at> 2017 --- from June 4th, 2017 --- doesn't implement the
fix made to latexdiff ([1][2]) --- made into TeX Live repository in June
26th, 2017.

Without the fix, `latexdiff' command is unable to work (its goal is to
generate "TeX-command-and-group-aware" differences between LaTeX
documents).
