Meld 1.7.0 released

[news 28]

Meld 1.7.0 has been released. This is the first release of the new

development series, and features plenty of shiny new toys.

 

Note to packagers: Meld's 'unstable' series have typically been very

reliable, to the point of being pushed as updates into stable

distribution releases. Please do not assume that the current release

is that reliable.

 

 

Features:

 

* File comparisons are faster! Meld now has a smarter pre-processing step

for inline highlighting of differences (Piotr Piastucki) and does its

highlighting calculations asynchronously (Kai Willadsen), leading to

better overall performance and interactivity.

* Auto-merge mode is now available from the command-line (Piotr Piastucki)

* Comparisons can be opened in new tabs (rather than in a new window) from

the command line (Kacper Wysocki, Antoine, Kai Willadsen)

* Custom colours can now be configured for all Meld drawing (Kai Willadsen)

 

Fixes:

 

* Improved behaviour when opening many tabs at once (Peter Tyser)

* Notification of searches wrapping around the buffer (Philipp Müller)

* Better compatibility with non-standard keyboard layouts (Stephan Hilb)

* Better error reporting for failed VC comparisons (Kai Willadsen)

* Version control compatibility updates and fixes (Jan Danielsson, Tim

Babych, Kai Willadsen)

* Other miscellaneous bug fixes (Jeff Oliver, Pacho Ramos, Rainer Suhm, Kai

Willadsen)

 

Translations:

* Fran Diéguez (gl)

* Gabor Kelemen (hu)

What is Meld?

-------------

 

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool. It lets you compare two or three files,

and updates the comparisons while you edit them in-place. You can also compare

folders, launching comparisons of individual files as desired. Last but by no

means least, Meld lets you work with your current changes in a wide variety of

version control systems, including Git, Bazaar, Mercurial, Subversion and CVS.
