Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-10-28 21:36:49 UTC
Meld 3.15.0 — 05 Oct 2015
Features

    New API for version control plugins with more consistent interfaces and data structures across different plugins, enabling many minor improvements (Kai Willadsen)
        Support the conflict resolution prompt in file comparisons for all VCs
        Improve caching behaviour for some version control plugins
        Better sensitivity handling for version control actions
        Cache and show more metadata (e.g., file renames)
        Several version control plugins have not been ported to the new API; the current list of support plugins is: Git, Mercurial, Subversion 1.7+, Bazaar
    Faster rendering in file comparison view, enabled by new GtkTextView API (Kai Willadsen)
    Move to using GtkSourceView style schemes with Meld-specific colour tags for highlight colours; this lets themes include colours that match the sourceview theme (Kai Willadsen)
    Offer to open binary files externally (Pratik Dayama)
    Show the common ancestor in conflicting regions (and the merged file everywhere else) when viewing conflicts through Meld’s version control view; currently this is only supported under Git (Kai Willadsen)
    Support showing staged/partially staged status of files under Git (Kai Willadsen)
    Update preferences dialog to new style with headerbar (Kai Willadsen)

    Fix crash with some GTK+ versions when using –output (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix merge-all action not working at all (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix creating patches with unicode path names (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix copy-to-clipboard option in patch dialog (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix diffmap alignment for new GTK+ allocation behaviour (Kai Willadsen)
    Improve float accuracy in folder comparison timestamp resolution (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix default SVN keyword filter to escape $ characters (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix display of unicode –help from command line (Kai Willadsen)
    Fix keyboard shortcut docs (Kai Willadsen)
    Don’t incorrectly show identical notification for changed folder comparisons (Kai Willadsen) Internal changes:
    Requirements are now GTK+ 3.14, GtkSourceView 3.14 and GLib 2.36
    Rewritten version control plugin API
    Unified colour handling between linkmap, diffmap and file comparison
    Move all textview drawing to a new GtkSourceView subclass, using the new GTK+ draw-layer API

That is a development version, in general we only bump the "stable" versions
