Are patches around to upgrade between versions?

Most versions are also distributed as a patch to the previous version’s source code. The most recent exception to this was version 3.1.0b1. Since this version switched from the GDBM database to DB2, the new database package needed to be shipped with the distribution. This made the potential patch almost as large as the regular distribution. Update patches resumed with version 3.1.0b2. You can also find archives of patches submitted to the htdig mailing lists, to fix specific bugs or add features, at Joe Jah’s htdig-patches ftp site.
