Re: [Kdiff3-user] KDiff3-0.9.89 released

[Lieven G. <lg...@mo...>]

Joachim ,

I'm glad you still found the time to make a new release, with an impressive
changelog as I may say so. Thanks!

Two remarks/questions:
- I've sent you the patch for the TortoiseSVN integration some time ago, and I
see it has been included in this release. I know now there is a slightly better
way of integrating with TSVN, and I think it's worthwhile to update it. I'll
send you a small patch later this week.

- We normally make a custom installer for KDiff3 for internal usage, but to do
that I need the kdiff3.nsi file. I suppose this file has been updated with this
new version (with all the new translation files...), but I don't seem to find it
in the CVS repository at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/kdiff3/kdiff3/windows_installer/ .
In fact, it seems none of the source files are updated in CVS. Did something
change? Can you publish that kdiff3.nsi file somewhere?

Thanks for your time to build such a great tool!

Lieven.
