2017-06-11 meld 3.17.2
======================

now try much harder to scroll all of a chunk on screen at the top and
bottom of comparisons, and handle last-line-in-file cases better (Kai

this change should improve keyboard ergonomics when doing three-way

change, so this is just making it official (Kai Willadsen)

render as flat buttons (Kai Willadsen)
* The curves in the central pane divider are now... smoother!
Internal changes:

======================
Features:
* Text ignored by filters is now dimmed to give some visual feedback that
it's being ignored (David Rabel)

previous comparisons directly. (Kai Willadsen)
