Current development release
------------------------------
Version 2.9: (minor features)
------------------------------
* Implemented variable text selection in text widget.
Press ALT-Button1 and drag to select text that gets put in the
clipboard.
* Split formatting into header formatting for the whole selection text and
per-line formatting.
Version 2.8: (minor bug fixes)
------------------------------
* Implemented per-hunk ignore whitespace for 3-way diffs properly (fixed
problem described in 2.7.2).
* Enabled forgotten disabled ignore-blank-lines menu item.
* Removed now unused libgen.h from app.cpp (thanks to dmarks @ sf for
reporting the bug).
* Applied changes from JF Panisset for SGI/IRIX/MIPSPro * compilation.
Version 2.7.2: (minor bug fixes)
------------------------------
Known Issue With 2.7.2: 3-way diffs will break if you turn on the per-hunk
ignore whitespace feature. This warrants 2.8 release.
* Removed forgotten debug trace.
Version 2.7.1: (minor bug fixes)
------------------------------
* Fixed minor color bug with rendering per-hunk ignore whitespace with
directory diffs.
Version 2.7: (minor features)
------------------------------
This release introduces a very useful feature for merge reviewers: diff hunks
which contain only whitespace and line break changes will be detected and can
optionally be flagged with a different color. This permits the reviewer to
quickly ignore source code reidentation and reorganization changes.
Also, alignment lines are now be filled in with a subtle pattern to better
identity them (can be disabled).
(Misc)
* Blank lines can now have a little cross-pattern drawn in them, to better
identify visually that they are not real file lines, but rather just
inserted for display purposes. This makes it dead obvious. Most won't care.
* Made little pattern on by default.
(Per-hunk Ignore Whitespace)
* Implemented the per-hunk ignore whitespace feature for two-way and
three-way diffs.
Version 2.6: (major features and minor bug fixes)
------------------------------
This release finally introduces support for the ignore-blank-lines feature of
GNU diff, as well a new feature to force the production of merged files if
desired. The port to Qt-3 has been completed and xxdiff can now be compiled
conditionally with KDE support (thanks to Trevor Harmon). Many minor bug fixes
are included as well.
Important note: qt3 is now required. 2.6 will not compile with qt2, due to
differences in the UI designer files between qt versions. Such is life.
(Per-hunk Ignore Whitespace)
* Implemented of the ignore-display feature in preparation for per-hunk
ignore feature.
(Style Resource)
* Add a new resource: Style, so that users can specify the tooklit style via
.xxdiffrc. Cmdline specification of style still takes precedence.
(Force merged file production)
* Moved markersFileDialog.* to markers.*
* When using --output-on-exit, don't bother the user about overwriting
existing files for the merged output file for Perforce users (thx to Philip
Quiney <phil.quiney at radiantnetworks.co.uk>
* Made sure that closing window should invoke the last hooks and remains in
the application, and closing subsequent windows, with --output-on-exit the
user is really forced to save a file.
* Introduced XxMarkersDialog, a dialog that contains just the markers, and
not the file dialog either. This one is used for --output-on-exit and could
eventually be used in the save as left/middle/right/merged dialogs, if I
didn't want the convenience of being able to change the name right there.
* Finished implementing feature to force the user to produce a merged file.
(Tools)
* Added emacs editing settings somewhere in the tools subdir for contributors
to peruse.
(KDE Port)
* Fixed KDE color dialog bug, when canceling color it was getting set anyway.
* Modified KDE code slightly.
* Applied KDE patch contributed by Trevor Harmon <trevor at vocaro.com>.
(Ignore Blank Lines)
* Enabled the options dialog option for ignore blank lines.
* Implemented working heuristic to match lines when ignore-blank-lines is
on. We check for empty lines that try to match the non-empty lines. I'm
pretty convinced that this should work in all cases, but although all my
tests seem to work, I will validate this over the next few weeks and only
release if all goes well. This should conclude the long-waited support for
ignore-blank-lines, which improves considerably the quality of diff output
in many cases.
* Implemented display of ignored blank lines in SAME regions. This pretty
much makes it work. I'll have to do some more testing before I release.
* Started experimenting with diff output parser support for ignore blank
lines. It works, but I want to make it somehow display the blank lines
(just not as a diff).
* Re-enabled tentatively ignore-blank-lines option to start testing it how we
could support it.
(Text Rendering Bug)
* Reverted to drawing the background rectangle color by hand.
* Looked at it, added some debugging code.
(Misc)
* Fixed bug with geometry parsing [566678] [566682].
* Fixed typo in documentation [566684]
* Fixed bug with copy file expansion by quoting files
* Fixed bug with overview area not updating its vertical extents on redo diff.
[533659] "rediff:no length update in overview area"
* Investigated false-assert reported bug about saving as merge conflicts.
* Removed using Id and Date in file headers... it makes diffs for nothing.
* Fixed clipboard bug that now occured with qt3, we put the selection into
the "mouse", whatever that means.
* Fixed bug with not running exit hooks when closing through winmgr.
* Added DTD header for HTML output and validated HTML output of documentation
using wdg validator.
(Pane Merged View)
* Started investigating vertical scrollbar problem with paned merged
view. We'll need a pixel scrollbar I think.
(Port to Qt-3.0)
* Font rendering has finally all been fixed.
* Fixed default font, but I'm not able to get the same with the Qt way of
specifying fonts.
* Text font label went really large with funny font description in options
dialog, with certain fonts only. Bug fixed by Trevor Harmon.
* Fixed missing include file for Qregexp.
* Fixed overview area layout fixed size.
Version 2.5: (major features)
------------------------------
This release removes the saving of standard input into temporary files and adds
support for unmerging merge conflicts into three files (if the conflicts contain
the information, such as when using "diff3 -m").
(No Temporary Files)
* Removed saving of stdin to a temporary file. This could be considered is a
major security update, because if you were using decrypted files to
standard input of xxdiff. xxdiff used to save its stdin into a temporary
file for redoing diffs. For example, running something like
"gpg -d secret.asc | xxdiff - public.asc" would save a decrypted copy of
secret into /var/tmp. Kill xxdiff and it would lie there. Now that's
fixed.
* When a file is from stdin, redo-diff clears xxdiffs, that was
crashing. With the new changes that don't save to a temporary file, that
fixes the problem.
(CVS unmerge conflicts)
* Updated documentation for unmerge3 feature.
* Finished implementation of unmerge3 feature. We won't try to insert
interrupted regions for the unmerge 3-files version, just insert SAME
regions then (including markers).
* Finished first implementation of unmerge3 feature.
* Started implementation of parser for "diff3 --show-all" merge conflicts.
* Disabled more useless UI in unmerge mode.
(Misc)
* Slight improvement to goto file feature, fixed bug with goto-line in
unmerge mode.
Version 2.4: (major feature)
------------------------------
This release introduces the unmerge feature.
(CVS unmerge conflicts)
* Fixed newly introduced bug found with regression tests.
* Fixed display of unmerge line numbers in filename bar.
* Fixed unmerge display line numbers through better method (the file buffer
contains the indirection line numbers, simple, less storage, and as
efficient).
* Started fixing split/swap/join with display line numbers.
* Wrote documentation for unmerge.
* Tags for unmerge are now configurable through the resources.
* Fixed redo diff in unmerge mode.
* Implemented display line no support for line nos different than the real
numbers, in XxLine.
* Fixed the overview area drawing problem by reindexing the buffers.
* Polished it up, and decided not to support arbitrary format through input,
until QRegExp supports grouping expressions (known to be in qt3).
* Got it working! Now have figure out some small issues and polish.
* Resumed work on unmerge feature.
(Packaging)
* Enabled building rpms as user, not root.
* Added GPG signing of packages.
(Cleanup)
* Added dummy to diffs lines to make the lines access a tad little tiny bit
faster.
(Misc)
* Make optimization in XxDiffs to avoid having to subtract 1 from lines
array.
* Updated web page for 2.4.
* Fixed unimportant memory bugs in cmdline parsing.
* Fixed bug with scrollbars not adjusting properly to redo diff. This bug is
not present in the stable tree. Kudos to Gijsbert De Haan for finding this
one.
(Windows port)
* Finished compiling and linking under W2K. However, it doesn't run, we
have a weird problem with getenv() causing an Access Violation, and when
getenv is removed, we get an Access Violation inside Qt.
* More porting to Windows. It almost all compiles now.
Version 2.3: (minor features and major bug fixes)
------------------------------
(Quick save merged results)
* Partially implemented feature to force the user to produce a merged file
and then ifdef'ed out, this will come later.
* Finished implementing feature, new resource to define default merged
filename format.
* Changed default filename for "save as..." to be the merged filename.
* Implemented exit-if-no-conflicts feature.
* Changed implementation of select merge to use the resource system so that
someone could set automatic merging to always be enabled if they wanted to.
* Started implementation of the force-saved-merged feature.
(Port to Gcc-3.0)
* Compiled with gcc3.1 (did not link).
* Linked with qt-2.3.2 compiled with gcc3 and it works.
* Ported all objects to compile with gcc-3.0.2.
(Documentation)
* Updated documentation to merged features.
(Misc)
* Some changes for HP/UX compilation (thanks to Albert Chin-A-Young)
* Fixed bug in color dialog; pressing cancel would set the color to
blank. Credits to <volker_apelt at yahoo dot de> for reporting it.
* Fixed Debian compilation warnings reported by Tomas Pospisek
<tpo at sourcepole dot ch>.
* Fixed implementation on EXIT_ON_SAME to really not show the window at all.
* Fixed bug with EXIT_ON_SAME and IGNORE_BLANK_LINES being turned on.
* Fixed important bug with not being able to grok files with spaces in
them. This was also happening for spawning subdiffs from directory diffs
(logged in as bug [508429].
* Added warning and disabled init option to ignore blank lines, because we
cannot support it for now.
* Fixed bug with not parsing incomplete lines (kudos go to Greg Lonnon
<glonnon at ridgerun dot com> for reporting it!)
(Install and Packaging)
* Added HTML file generation and packaging.
Version 2.2: (interim release)
------------------------------
This is an interim release because it contains many important bug fixes, but
also contains remaining bugs. However, the author is way too busy to finish it
properly and won't be able to in the next few weeks, so here is an interim
release. I won't announce it on freshmeat.
(Remaining unselected regions indicator)
* Implemented indicator for "remaining unselected regions" counter label
(above the overview area).
(Split app and text widgets)
* Let the text view manage its own top and bottom line, as well as scrolling.
* Made the merged window use a normal text widget. Not done.
* Finally cleaned up the whole update mess. Big changes.
* Removed stupid scrolling menu entries.
* Finished basic not-clean splitting to central widget.
* Did est.50% of it, still needs to clean up app, broke
everything in the meantime, but there are ifdefs (untried).
(Quick save merged results)
* Added UI for "save as merged" feature (not implemented yet).
(Merge)
* Implemented 2-way automatic merge selection (new feature).
(Misc)
* Fixed compilation to work with aix-xlc configuration, thanks to
instructions from mark.truman@gtech.com.
* Fixed bug introduced in 2.1 with line copy exhibited with split/swap/join.
* Fixed bug introduced in 2.1 [485741]: insert at beginning of a line would
display erroneous horizontal diff (thanks belley).
* Fixed bug: the pane merged view didn't always update right.
* Added conditionals for all delete[] (i had forgotten).
* Changed Command.Edit default value to an xterm instead of just a vi.
* Makefile now cleans doc.h.
* Added man page from Tomas Pospisek, changed spec files to install it.
* Debian package for 2.0.2 has just been made by Tomas.
* Remove all FIXMEs and change for something else.
We should be able to grep for no FIXMEs in the code before releasing.
(Pane Merged View)
* Made scrolling work in pane merged view.
* Fixed minor bug when deleted region is rendered on alignment lines in
merged rendering.
* Finished integrating merged view rendering and text rendering in the same
code.
* Bug: the merged view vscroll is not adjusted like the text one.
New shared design fixes this.
* Draw the highlights even in the merged view, it will really help figure out
which side has been chosen.
* Worked more on polyvalent text rendering widget, almost done.
* Added sup color for decided merge regions: the merged view will now render
with horizontal diffs as well.
* Figured out how to build a rpm as non-root, what options to use.
~/.rpmmacros : %_topdir ~/tmp/rpmbuild, %_tmppath /var/tmp
* Merged changes from 2.0.3.
* Fixed bug: using splitter, resize text view to zero, and you would get an
internal error at (diffs.inline.h:46).
* Fixed automatic adjustment of splitter percent for merged view.
* Tested pane merged view toggle and checkbox update.
* Tested popup merged view toggle and checkbox update.
* Fixed bug with pane merged view, continued implementation.
* Implemented popup merged view upon startup.
* Implemented new layout with pane merged view.
* Added show resources for pane and popup merged view.
* Added percent resource for pane merged view.
* Decided on names for different merged view: pane m.v. and popup m.v.
* Add an option to make layout the merged view like xcleardiff, added an
option to make it visible on startup as well.
Version 2.1: (major feature release)
------------------------------
Implemented multiple horizontal diffs feature. Rewrote ignore horizontal
whitespace feature to ignore changes in whitespace. Added support for
command-line Qt options and formatted like KDE programs.
*** Change Log ***
(Multiple horizontal diffs)
* Cleaned up code for multiple horizontall diffs.
* Made sure that the hordiffs don't get copied when the third file is empty.
* Optimized computation of horizontal 3-way diffs, when we know two sides are
equal, don't compute bounds with the three files. Compute with two and copy
other the third one, like we do for multiple diffs with blue regions.
For DIFFDEL regions. I rewrote the code that's driving this.
* Split hordiff code into its own file.
* Changed MinContext to Context. This makes sense, there is a direct
analogy.
* Fixed bug in insertion of ws inside a word, with more than 1 ws.
* Make the ignore horizontal whitespace treat all contiguous chunks of
whitespace as a single whitespace (tdemarge idea).
Implemented ignore horizontal whitespace as ws compression
(this is a big difference and should be mentioned in the change log).
* Realized there is a problem with the implementation of the ignore
whitespace approach that I used for horizontal diffs... whitespace cannot
really be ignore when computing the diffs themselves, otherwise it can
result in funny diffs, e.g. "word other" an "wordo other" will result in
the second o being computed as a diff. In this case there are many
potential solutions, and it is not obvious which one we should follow.
Another possibility would be to non-whitespace bracket the normally
resulting diffs (taking into account ws), but then do we keep diffing
recursively?
We have the same problem with the single bracketing technique!
This will require some thinking.
(This was fixed above.)
* Implemented using permutations in line bracketing algorithm.
* Fixed nasty bug in multiple diffs horizontal table.
* Renamed hysteresis to min.context, because there is a direct analogy for
horizontal diffs minimum common region to context lines in context
(vertical) diffs.
* Implemented ignore whitespace support for multiple horizontal diffs
(a simple bug remains
* Tested for when the maximum table size is exceeded... it works.
* Added resource parsing.
* Tested menu
* When changing the horizontal diff parameters in the resources, we have to
invalidate and perhaps recompute the horizontal diffs.
* Implemented in 3-way, with blue regions, and diffdel as well.
* Compute and implement upper bound for hordiffs buffer, use in text and
line.
* Much progress in multiple horizontal diffs implementation.
* Time was being wasted in horizontal diffs computatino for SAME lines, now
removed that!
* Finished implementation of per-line computation of horizontal diffs with
hysteresis.
* Implement string edit dyn.prog. solution for lcs for multiple horizontal
diffs, per-character and per-token
* Implemented line and text area support for multiple horizontal diffs
* Added resources for horizontal diffs.
* Finished implementation of multiple horizontal diffs drawing.
* Prepared XxLine for multiple horizontal diffs.
(CVS unmerge conflicts)
* Started implementing cmdline parsing of conflict mode.
* Added builderConflicts files.
(Qt Options)
* Add --textfont cmdline option enable setting the text font as well.
* Remove usage message for errors. Usage should only be printed out
from --help or when no file has been specified on the cmdline.
* On --help, print out long options first, so all is aligned.
* Implemented options KDE-like.
* Looked at all the qt options that the KDE code exposes, and perhaps export
the same set. Look at how it's implemented under as well.
* Changed filename labels to use current app font, not resources font, in
case of an override.
* Removed forcing the font is there's a qt -fn or -font option on cmdline.
* Added forceFont detection for cmdline.
* Tested --qt, perhaps rename to --qt-visual, etc.
* Within the qt options, you'd have to test for the presence of -style or
-geometry as well.
* Fixed bug in new --qt cmdline arg.
* Changed semantics of XxCmdline._forceStyle.
* Made Qt options supported through explicit parsing of the GNU form of
options. This should fix the bug whereby the Qt options are not available
anymore.
(Init switch)
* Implemented flawed initswitch for quality.
* Added Nop parsing to initswitch, so that reading from resoruce list is
possible.
* Finished implementing initswitch feature.
Of course, this is not super useful, but someone requested it.
* Added InitSwitch resource parsing (for belley) but not implemented
initialiazation yet.
(Misc)
* Cleaned up and organized TODO file.
* Changed error when getopt fails, now returns the short error msg.
* Version should be the compiling date, and the file that contains the
version number should always be recompiled, each time we link. Figure out
something. The current scheme doesn't quite work too well, unless version.o
is from a make clean.
* Fixed bug with table width in documentation.
* Fixed minor bug with 3-way diffs options
(imho this alone does not warrant a 2.0.3 release).
* Removed libgen, now using Qt's framework for basename.
* Did some stuff to the versioning, added version.c.
* Checked that a .inline.h change doesn't seem causes recompiling.
There is a small delay probably due to NFS on different OS+hosts.
* Removed basename dependency (now using QFileInfo).
* Fixed UMRs in app.cpp menu items, Purified completely.
Version 2.0.4: (bug-fix release)
------------------------------
We want the 2.0 branch to be absolutely stable, and not being able to parse
rarely occuring incomplete lines is unacceptable, so this bug fix alone warrants
this release.
(Bug Fixes)
* Included bug fix for not parsing incomplete lines. The incomplete line
marker line inserted by diff had been overlooked in the parser and would
cause an error dialog and no diffs display. Incomplete lines don't occur
often, but this is nevertheless an important bug.
Version 2.0.3: (portability release)
------------------------------
This release includes very minor changes for backwards portability to
Redhat-6.2, as well as a minor enhancement to allow the Debian package to have
its documentation automatically generated (--html-help doesn't require a display
connection anymore).
*** Change Log ***
(Better automated packaging)
* --html-help now does not require a display connection, so that the
packaging scripts can generate the documentation from the executable on a
machine without display connection access (suggestion of Tomas Pospisek).
(Redhat-6.2 Portability)
* Make sure we can now compile under rh-6.2 (thx to Fabrice Crestois).
* Removed std::auto_ptr<>::reset().
* Small iterator change in diffs.cpp for rh-6.2 compilation.
(Misc)
* Removed circular dependendy in resParser.lex.c, this was due to the fact
that by default make considers a lex file to have .l suffix and not .lex.
We could patch it with a simple rule, but instead we rename the file to
use the standard suffix.
Version 2.0.2: (bug-fix release)
------------------------------
* Fixed bug with inserts and deletes having one char shaved off the end of
the filename.
* Fixed bug with hanging xxdiff when diffing large dirs.
Error collection was being done before output collection.
* Fixed bug with segfault with more than 3 filenames specified on the cmdline
(thanks to Trinh Ma for reporting it).
------------------------------
Version 2.0.1: (bug-fix release)
* Tested all cases under IRIX.
* Fixed bug with saving conflict regions, needed to use a QByteArray.
This was introduced following the removal of std::stream's.
* Fixed bug with tags when saving with conflicts.
* Found bug with saving conflict regions. Of course, Murphy hits right
after a major release. Damn it. I'll release a bug-fix release.
------------------------------
Version 2.0: (stable release)
Changes since 1.13: the focus of this release is an internal rewrite for
stability, portability and code sanity before embarking on a series of new
features. There are not many user-visible changes, but you should switch
anyway, for stability.
Summary of changes since 1.13:
* ALL logged bugs have been fixed, including some nasty ones. xxdiff is
now more stable than ever, has been purified.
* Removed internal dependency on std::string, we are now using QString
everywhere internally. Much less STL dependency now. This should
improve portability considerably (it was ported again to Solaris).
* The resources system was rewritten completely, including the parser,
which now defines its own little resources language. Parsing the
resources file should be much more efficient that it was. The resources
file format has changed. Also, by default xxdiff will now turn on its
cool unique features as they appear. The output of --list-resources
should now be parsable directly. Xrm resources support has been
removed.
* User-visible changes: toolbar buttons have been reorganized slightly and
bitmap are now nice and final. Color legend is now integrated in the
options dialog. You can now customize fonts from the options dialog.
The options dialog has been reorganized. You can now maximized the
geometry from the resources. Cheesy logo added. Error messages are now
better.
* Full documentation is now included with xxdiff and will be online.
* Commands that don't require the display don't attempt to open a display
connection anymore.
* Build system has changed, we are now using tmake.
* The text area rendering code has been rewritten entirely. Rendering
very very long lines should now work correctly.
* The code was prepared for an upcoming Windows port tentative.
---------------------------
* Fixed bug with version printing missing endl in release mode.
------------------------------
Version 1.16: (pre-release)
* Setup trivial regression test script (gotta start this eventually).
* Updated root README file instructions.
* Updated all /tools dir.
* Added documentation table of contents.
* Fixed output of resources into HTML with HTML-able tags (XxHelp::xmlize()).
* Removed all stat() calls, replaced by QFileInfo.
* Removed useless XxUtil::isDirectory() code bloat.
* Fixed new bug with QTextStream going out of scope with a closed (f)stream.
* Used mpatrol and -check-memory-? to try to locate the problem with short
filenames and setting accelerator 0.
* Purified xxdiff on IRIX. It's clean. Qt has lots of UMRs though, but no
leaks. This did not turn out the problem we see under Linux.
* Updated the spec files.
* Fixed rpm packaging for tmake, fixed distribution script.
* Implemented double-click feature for directory diffs for version 2.0
(thanks to sourceforge user sgaskins).
* Closed all remaining bugs
* Fixed for Solaris 2.8 compilation. It works!
* Updated getopt versions.
* Addressed changes for Solaris 2.8 compilation.
* Checked if xxdiff can indeed handle one DOS file vs. one UNIX file
=-> add a FAQ section in doc and put this answer there
thx to yves@dastous.org
* Reversed search fwd and bwd buttons (they're now like the others).
* Fixed bug in toggling recursive dir diff from options dialog.
* Fixed bug in toggling ignore file changes in dir diff options dialog.
* Rewrote documentation entirely.
* Implemented resources ref. output in documentation.
* Removed dumpUsage and change by the contents of man.h as well.
* Added html-help command, will finish implementation tomorrow.
* Using rich text for help, write single help file source in richetxt (qml).
* Figured out something for documentation.
* Generated usage in both formatted plain text and qml as well.
* Changed man transformation into a single big string.
* Wrote self-documenting cmdline options system.
* Added xxdiff_translate_resources script to tools.
* Moved archive in its own CVS module and renamed xxdiff-doc xxdiff-web.
* Added HTML documentation, still need to finish and polish it.
* Removed linking to internal diffs linkage before release
(internal diffs to be done af ter 2.0).
* Changed tmake spec so we don't have to specify xxdiff.t
* Fixed bug with horizontal resizing on font change.
* Fixed diff3 parsing which had just been broken.
* Fixed non-thread-safe searchLine method (implement strnstr).
* Horizontal optimization of the text drawing (lots of optim.).
Still not sure if it ends up being faster.
* More work on optimizing text drawing (horizontal characters).
* Fixed drawing bugs with text.cpp.
* Removed BUFSIZ in diff output parsing.
* Major optimization to text widget: text drawing should be much faster now.
* Finished documenting resources
* Re-ordered colors.
* reviewed contents of app.h and resources.h and recategorize app.h stuff.
* Turned on some xxdiff goodies by default, so we added a --orig-xxdiff
cmdline switch for the romantics. By default, xxdiff should enable the
cool features it has.
* change permissions checking to use QFileInfo instead of access and friends.
* util.cpp: implemented one spawn in terms of the other
* Removed show_markers feature which was never implemented (and probably
never will be).
* Added documentation.
* Cleaned up requirement for display connection in XxCmdline::listResources.
* Disabled edit button for widgets for which it is irrelevant.
* Made sure we don't require X connection to parse resources or cmdline args,
except for those requiring it (i.e. --list-resources, for color and font
conversions).
* Fixed terrible bug where the silent msg handler would remove Qt warning
about not being able to connect to the display.
Removed the silent msg suppressor thingy, we don't need it anymore.
* Made sure the pangrams are different in options dialog.
* For gen.init.file, we now check for empty file before saving.
* Added BOOLKWD_BASE constant token.
* Fixed bug with listResources, and moved to Qt streams.
* Fixed bug with gen.init.file. If you start xxdiff and just gen.init.file
directly, you should output an empty file.
* Finally finished nice bitmaps for toolbar buttons.
------------------------------
Version 1.15: (development snapshot)
* Fixed bug under IRIX with endl output in --list-resources.
* Fixed bug with hidden files and recursive dirdiffs.

want sgi looks.
* removed XLFD warning by changing to a different XLFD but that generates
the same font.
* Re-implemented the generated init file functionality.
* remove singleton b.s. from resources.
* remove all the autoconf b.s. files in the root,
change INSTALL file to my own install instructions, perhaps remove and
point to README file.
* remove ifdefs for version 220, xxdiff now requires 2.3.x
(sorry, it shouldn't be that hard to upgrade)
* added cheesy gif logo for about box for 2.0 rewrite
* fixed update bug with the options dialog.
* replaced accelUtil search with a sort + binary search op for speed.
We still cannot use QAccel::stringToKey, it crashes, but it looks from the
docs that Qt-3.0 will fix the problem.
* Finished new editing of colors and color legend.
* fixed color dialog choosing colors
* Lots of cleanup.
* New and improved color legend and editing: the legend is gone, and
the user interface to set the colors now displays with the text font,
as well as with the appropriate colors.
* fully removed dynamic 'manual'. Manual will get compiled in.
* version is now in version.h
* removed old crap in resources.cpp
* worked on parser memory cleanliness
* move preferred_geometry to initgeometry or prefgeom
* removed all old autoconf-related files
* removed rcfileparser files.
* renamed XxRcfileParser to XxResourceParser
* Started moving to the new resources system.
* Finished full parser.
* Worked on parser, lots.
* Separated accelerator parsing into it's own compilation unit.
* Created new resource parser files.
* Removed unused line number background coloring code.
* Moved line color algorithm... in line class, where it belongs.
* Moved internal diff parser to Qt streams.
* Removed the XxStringResParser.
* Cleaned up some of the privately declared exceptions.
* eradicated std::string and standardized on QString, except for converting
from an ostringstream. we want only one type of string, and we can't
really eradicate QString because we use Qt. besides it's not that bad and
all those string conversions are probably costing something.
------------------------------
Version 1.14: (development snapshot)
* We're pretty much (almost) std::string-free at this point.
I haven't addressed the many bug requests yet.
* Disabled buggy socket notification for editor subprocess.
* cleaned up all exceptions that takes strings:
- unified code for taking strings in base class
- all exceptions now takes special arguments
* Big QString unification takeover (over std::string):
- removed using namespace std where not needed
- reviewed all uses of c_str() and latin1()
- grepped for std::string in all of code, make sure none remains
- cleaned up some more strings business
- removed all string.h where I could
- ostream cleanup, use the Qt versions where you can do.
* fixed bug with clipboard text format widget
* removed as much std::string as was possible, moved all to QString
* Much more strings cleanup.
* Remove useless Xrm resources support.
* Removed silly configuration from configure.in.
We use tmake now anyway.
* Removed runtime help option b.s.
* Fixed it under IRIX, made both diff and diff3 available.
* Managed to get linked GNU diff output and diffs under Linux, still
broken under IRIX.
* More strings cleanup, not done yet.
* Finally linked together GNU diff and xxdiff, now working on supporting
internal diffs without fork to external program.
* Fixed error msg on [442465]
* Removed throw new calls [463709]
* More work in no process hack.
* Simple hack for diffutils to link with xxdiff.
* Moved to tmake in preparation for Windows port.
Tmake is simple and nice, although less portable.
I always hated the autoconf/automake mess anyway.
I'll move to Jam files eventually, that could be even nicer.
* More work for Windows port, what a pain in the butt it is.
* Just started Windows port using the non-commercial Qt for Windows.

* Removed filename from clipboard text (not needed, usually annoying).
* Added `clipboard text format' format string to resources and
infrastructure, and implemented format clipboard text.

* made color selection dialog work.
* Separate merged view classes.

------------------------------
Version 1.7:
* Release.
Directory diffs introduction warrants major number release but I'll

It now has exactly the SGI looks!
* Incorporated changes by Bob Bell <bobbell@zk3.dec.com> for Tru64 port.
Version 1.6.8:
* Cleanup of preliminary parser for directory diffs.
* Noticed that directory diffs are dead slow, tried to optimize using
fork()/execve(). Had to provide envp from main().
* Implemented faulty mouse-drag on merged view.
* Added diffutils-2.7 source code to package in preparation to link with it
directly. I think that this will make directory diffs faster.
Version 1.6.7:
* diff3: When selecting a region whose text is the same as another,
e.g. DELETE_1 selecting 2 or 3, show both of these as selected (even though
the selection is allowed to vary between 2 or 3, we don't care).

* Converted signal() to sigaction() for portability (caught by fjaubert).
* Fiddled makefiles to work under Solaris2.8.
Version 1.5.8:
* Fixed bug in 3-way diff when diff at the very first line (thanks to
Damjan Lango for reporting it).
Version 1.5.7:
* Fixed Makefile problem with IRIX.
* Fixed doc distribution makefile problem.
* Fixed save as bug in 3-way (thanks to hubert for reporting it).
Version 1.5.6:
* Added documentation which had mysteriously disappeared.
Version 1.5.5:
* (don't remember what)
Version 1.5.4:
* Added feature: ask user to save if the selections wouldn't save anything
different (ask because it could be the case that the file has changed
from some other program).
* Fixed majorly important issue: pressing Escape on a dialog did NOT cancel
before (I can't believe I survived thru this since I always dismiss them
like that). Well, now it works as expected.
Version 1.5.3:
* Fixed cursor centering bug (jaubert).
Version 1.5.2:
* Wrote SGML documentation!
Version 1.5.1:
* File renaming in preview of directory diff implementation.
* Noticed that ``ignore whitespace'' will not work with cleartool diff'',
fixed that with special case.
* Wrote tools/diffToClearCase wrapper script.
* Merged 1.4.6 -> 1.4.7 changes and this.
------------------------------
Version 1.5:
* Release (lots of bug fixes).
Version 1.4.7:
* Added horizontal-diffs-ignore-whitespace, which ignores whitespace
differences when doing diffs horizontally (a separate process than
the usual line-per-line diffs). This feature is a little bit tricky:
you cannot just skip the whitespace, to begin skipping, all the sides
have to start with some whitespace.
* Fixed bug with horizontal diff: rendering tabs wasn't done correctly.
* Added resource to disable display of cursor (for mcguffm, jfr?).
* Fixed geometry parsing bug (ptrembla), result is still not perfect, need to
communicate with winmgr to do it properly. Qt doesn't offer support there?
* Fixed makefile linker for libstdc++ rt dependency.
* Fixed tabs rendering bug.
Version 1.4.6:
* Fixed nasty bug in diff3 parser (due to funky clearcase reporting).
Caught by belley, thank you!
Version 1.4.5:

upcomin merge feature.
* Added merge feature.
Version 1.4.4:
* Fixed bug on IRIX: \n doesn't show in --help output.
* Fixed ``return value of 1'' mistake introduced in 1.4.3.
* Better handling of errors.

resource. Works with a signal handler waking up the event queue thru a
socket.
* Now warns about ignore resource in rcfile.
Version 1.4.3:
* rpm_build fix.
* urgent bugs: problem xxdiffrc (belley). Specification of command
resource is now more robust. Merged command and command-args resources
(simpler and nicer).
* changed resource: ignoreErrors is now false by default.
Version 1.4.2:
* Geometry now includes position, Xt-style (i.e. WxH+L+T), for belley
(this allows you to specify a full-screen xxdiff). Caveat: there is
some flickering on startup, because of Qt limitations: a resize first
occurs, and then a move.
* Smaller font for filename labels.
Version 1.4.1:
* Bug fix: find next unselected and prev unselected were broken.
* Bug fix: select global unselected wasn't working for first line.
* Added warn-about-unsaved option/resource for gijsbert.
------------------------------

Version 1.3.12:
* More work on gen.init.file.
Version 1.3.11:
* Static documentation and correct checking.

* Added resource documentation generating capabilities.
Version 1.3.9:
* Added default bindings Ctrl+R -> Redo Diff for giasson.
* Fixed buffer allocation bug for string rendering which broke on long lines.
* Bug fix: horizontal scrollbar is not correct because of varying widths of
text widgets due to linenumbers. adjustScrollbars() cannot deal with it
correctly since it gets called to adjust on the first widget's resize and
the other ones haven't been resized yet (at that point). We need to make
the line numbers widget all the same size, but for that the lineNumbers
format string has to be the same for all.
(fixed).
* Fixed bottom filling region drawing minor bug.
Version 1.3.8:
* New ideas in CHANGES.

emacs bindings.
* Bug fix: crashes when specifying only one file!
* Finished saving unselected anyway with tagging.
* Fixed global selection bug.
* Added all new colors to color legend, improved code a bit.
* Made the resources object a singleton everywhere in the code.
* Bug fix: isAsciiText doesn't deal with C-l's (which occurs often in text),
make it work as ascii. Now we're only checking the very first line of
text.

* Bug fix: redo diff twice doesn't reappear (bug under IRIX only)
Version 1.2.13:
* Fixed Linux compilation.

the file and save if no more unselected" (more simply called "select X and
next"). This feature for rapid merging (request by Peter Maly and
jdilelle).
* Started sketching out merged view.
Version 1.2.6:
* Line numbers in their own widget.
* Bug fix: tabs weren't shifted correctly when showing line numbers
(-> implement widget)
* Added a resource for preferred default geometry (for George Zamba)
* Cleaned up boolean resource access.
* Added a resource and UI for toggling markers (but no functionality)
* Bug fix: tabs and horizontal diffs weren't rendered synchronously.
Version 1.2.5:

(fixes bug: Shift+F1 help doesn't work on on context menu).
* Clicking on the filename label puts the filename in the clipboard (this is
a cool feature for making merge review comments with long ClearCase
filenames).
Version 1.2.3:
* Added reported bug to this file, reorganized this file.
Version 1.2.2:
* Bug fix: when file is not writable, (e.g. clearcase not checked out) error
was not reported (reported by gdh).

Version 1.1.2:
* Unfinished rc file support (~/.xxdiffrc or XXDIFFRC env var).
* Fixed bug with opening with no files.
Version 1.1.1:
* Fixed bug: initially setting horizontal diff thru resource wasn't working.
* Added lighter colors for selected and deleted (looks much nicer in
horizontal diffs more).
* Added "paste with line numbers" option, which add the name of the file as
well as line numbers, this will be great for making review comments.
