- Update to version 1.7.1:
+ Features:
- Folder comparisons can now show extra information, such as
file size and modification times. Column visibility and
ordering are properly configurable.
- Shallow comparison (i.e., based on size and timestamp) are
now supported for folder comparisons, including timestamp
resolution preferences for cross-filesystem comparisons.
- The UI for launching new comparisons has been reworked to
have a clearer workflow, and is now shown on startup if no
other comparisons have been opened
- Recently-used comparisons are now supported, allowing you to
re-open previous comparisons directly.
- Read-only files are now not editable by default, making merge
actions clearer and more consistent. Individual read-only
files can easily be set as editable as desired.
+ Bugfixes:
- New version control API, currently used by Git and SVN
- Version control compatibility updates and fixes
- Command line labelling options now apply to folder tabs
- Regressions from parallel inline highlighting calculations
have been fixed
- Diff algorithm cleanup
- Compatibility fixes for Python 3; this does *not* mean that
Meld works on Python 3 yet, just that 2to3 issues have been
addressed
+ Updated translations.
- Add meld-no-updates.patch: do not execute update-mime-database
and update-desktop-database during make install. We have to
execute these on the target systems.
