A release seems justifiable, and I can make one pretty easily.
I'll wait a day or so, in case anyone has a reason to defer.

I'd love to see a beta release, if you still do that sort of thing.
That would give me some more time to check which ones of the bugs here:

http://bugs.debian.org/diffutils

are still unresolved.

I've just published a snapshot.
Hope that's good enough for you.

Do not release diffutils without first updating gnulib; otherwise you
will suffer from broken large file support:

Actually, diffutils is immune due to an accidental redundancy, but once you update to the latest gnulib, you may want to remove this redundant line:
