[Kdiff3-user] KDiff3-0.9.94 released

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

Hi KDiff3-users,

This version fixes some bugs. 
Especially the --auto flag caused empty windows to appear. This affected many 
version control systems like git or mercury that use it.

Version 0.9.94 - 2009/01/17
===========================
- Fix for hidden text windows with --auto-flag.
- Fix for pasting clipboard truncated text if it contained characters that 
needed more than one byte in UTF-8 encoding.
- Fix for horizontal scrolling if word wrap is enabled.
- Directory tree: files hidden due to options (e.g. patterns etc.) don't 
affect folder equality any more.
- KDE: KIO-progress dialog is now hidden. (KDiff3 has its own progress 
dialog.)
- Directory merge: Default op for change in either B or C and delete in the 
other is now merge (previously copy).
- Directory merge: Not preserving merge operation after reload, because it 
might have changed.


For 0.9.93 I forgot to mention this important change:

- Option to align B and C for 3 input files (default is off which is usually 
better for merging).

The reason behind this is that since 0.9.89 in three way diffs and merges B 
and C were aligned if possible. This was requested by a user, but by now I 
think this was a bad idea, because the alignment often aligned trivial (e.g. 
empty) lines and broke bigger merge blocks apart. This might have caused more 
conflicts than necessary. Now I made an option to enable this alignment if 
needed. But the default is off.

Cheers,
Joachim
