What's new in Meld 1.7.1:

March 1st, 2013

Features:

· Folder comparisons can now show extra information, such as file size and modification times. Column visibility and ordering are properly configurable. (Philipp Müller, Kai Willadsen)
· Shallow comparison (i.e., based on size and timestamp) are now supported for folder comparisons, including timestamp resolution preferences for cross-filesystem comparisons. (Cristian Dinu)
· 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 (Kai Willadsen)
· Recently-used comparisons are now supported, allowing you to re-open previous comparisons directly. (Kai Willadsen)
· 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. (Kai Willadsen)

Fixes:

· New version control API, currently used by Git and Subversion (Kai Willadsen)
· Version control compatibility updates and fixes (Cedric Le Dillau, Louis des Landes, Kai Willadsen)
· Command line labelling options now apply to folder tabs (Kai Willadsen)
· Regressions from parallel inline highlighting calculations have been fixed (Kai Willadsen)
· Diff algorithm cleanups (Piotr Piastucki)
· Compatibility fixes for Python 3; this does *not* mean that Meld works on Python 3 yet, just that 2to3 issues have been addressed (Kai Willadsen)
