Version 0.9.98 - 2014-07-04
===========================
- Text rendering now with QTextLayout fixes the following issues
- Correct handling for variable width fonts.
- Corrected display of highlighted text with Qt4.8.x on Ubuntu and Mac.
- Improved handling of texts with both right to left and left to right
languages (mixed Arabic and western texts).
- Improved handling of Chinese and Japanese.
- Whitespace characters are now shown as dots for spaces and arrows for
tabs, and not only in differences.
- Fixed symlink comparison (Qt4 symLinkTarget returns absolute paths)
- Text analysis for rendering with QTextLayout is interruptable and
multithreaded. (See progressbar and abort-button in statusbar)
- Fix for saving to relative path in KDE-environments. (Patch from Harald Sitter)
- Fixed bug in 0.9.97: Directory compare was always case sensitive.
- Fix for saving files on KDE with relative path specified via command
line option -o.
- Fixed problem with KIO (nonlocal urls).
- Improved Mac support.
- Write --confighelp information to stdout instead of stderr.
- Directory Merge Window: Enabled state of "Delete A And B" now also
depends on existence of source file A.
- Works now with Qt4 and Qt5
- Progress dialog during printing.
- Workaround for bug in QSplitter::childEvent that broke
QFileDialog::getSaveFileName
Version 0.9.97 - 2012-08-10
===========================
- Memory usage optimized for comparison of large directories. (ca. 1/5
needed)
- In overwiev for two way diff show if only one side contains text.
- Fix for Fedora by Neal Becker in src-QT4/kdiff3part.desktop.
- When word wrap is active toggling line numbers now recalculates the
word wrap.
- Removed confusing "For compatibility ..." hint from option -qall
- Fixed mouse wheel problem.
- Change an encoding in diff text window via click on encoding label.
- Fix for tab-key moving focus instead of adding a tab character in
MergeResultWindow.

Cygwin "/tmp" directory when environment variable "CYGWIN_BIN" is set.
- Removed iostream dependency
- Regression test framework
- Documentation patch
- Select text in Find dialog
- If text is selected in either input or output window use that in Find

patterns ".rej" and ".bak" for better mercurial and git integration.
- Command line option --cs doesn't change the config value permanently
anymore.
- On KDE: Not creating a KDiff3Part anymore.
From Kimura Fuyuki in PR pkg/35914
KDiff3 is a program that
* compares and merges two or three input files or directories,
* shows the differences line by line and character by character (!),
* provides an automatic merge-facility and
* an integrated editor for comfortable solving of merge-conflicts
* has support for KDE-KIO (ftp, sftp, http, fish, smb)
* and has an intuitive graphical user interface.
