Meld 3.15.0



Meld 3.15.0 has been released, and is now available at:
  http://download.gnome.org/sources/meld/3.15/meld-3.15.0.tar.xz


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)

What is Meld?
-------------

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool. It lets you compare two or three files,
and updates the comparisons while you edit them in-place. You can also compare
folders, launching comparisons of individual files as desired. Last but by no
means least, Meld lets you work with your current changes in a wide variety of
version control systems, including Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and Subversion.
