[Kdiff3-user] KDiff3-0.9.92 released

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi KDiff3-users,

In the last few months I didn't have much time to spare for KDiff3 so I am 
glad to be able to announce another version, even if it doesn't contain that 
many new features.

Two integration features made it:

- Simplified installation of KDiff3 for Clearcase under Windows.
Some users know that KDiff3 can be used with IBM Rational Clearcase. Up to now 
the setup had to be done manually by editing the map-file. Now you can let 
the installer do this, or enable or disable this later from within KDiff3.
KDiff3 can replace the text-file diff and merge for ascii (or unicode) files.

- Konqueror service menu plugin for KDiff3. 

When I wrote it I didn't realise that Sergey Zorin also ported his 
Diff-Ext-tool to KDEs Konqueror and to Gnome's Nautilus.
And his tool can be configured to be used with other diff-frontends too.
So now you even have choice.

Otherwise I mostly fixed some bugs. Here is the Changelog:

Version 0.9.92 - 2007/04/15
===========================
- Windows installer now allows to install KDiff3 as Clearcase Diff and Merge 
Tool
- Windows installer "SVN Merge tool" corrected: Not creating 
$AppData\Subversion\config subdir anymore.
- KDE-Konqueror plugin: Launch KDiff3 from Konqueror. (Similar to Diff-Ext on 
Windows.)
- Qt4-version
  - Printing crash fixed
  - Compilation issue for Mac fixed
- Dir Rescan keeps settings for Show identical files etc.
- Bugfix: Empty file and not existing file were detected as binary equal.
- Temp file names use the process id in file name to allow several instances.
- Suppress flicker during startup. (Don't show status info window on 
creation.)
- New File comparison mode: Trust the size and date, but use binary comparison 
if date doesn't match (unsafe)
- After explicitely selecting files any file of the selected may be right 
clicked for context menu.
- Open dialog also shows current directories in directory comparison mode.
- Writing a file via --auto option didn't work for relative files.
- New option for history merge: Max number of history entries
- New option "Auto save and quit on merge without conflicts"
- Directory Merge without Case sensitivity: Correct destination filename 
chosen for merge.


The windows-installer should even work if you don't have admin-rights (by 
specifying a directory for which you have write access and disabling 
the "Install for all users"-checkbox later).
Nevertheless I was persuaded to also provide a zip-file with the executables, 
but of course the automatic integration with other tools isn't possible then.

The Mac Universal binary was created again by Michael Schmidt. (Thanks!)

Have fun,
Joachim
