2012-2-28 meld 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. (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)

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool. You can compare two or three
files and edit them in place (diffs update dynamically). You can
compare two or three folders and launch file comparisons. You can
browse and view a working copy from popular version control systems
such such as CVS, Subversion, Bazaar-ng and Mercurial.
