Update to 1.7.1:

2012-2-28 meld 1.7.1
====================

  Features:

    * Folder comparisons can now show extra information, such as file size and
      modification times. Column visibility and ordering are properly
      configurable. (Philipp Müller, Kai Willadsen)
    * Shallow comparison (i.e., based on size and timestamp) are now supported
      for folder comparisons, including timestamp resolution preferences for
      cross-filesystem comparisons. (Cristian Dinu)
    * The UI for launching new comparisons has been reworked to have a clearer
      workflow, and is now shown on startup if no other comparisons have been
      opened (Kai Willadsen)
    * Recently-used comparisons are now supported, allowing you to re-open
      previous comparisons directly. (Kai Willadsen)
    * Read-only files are now not editable by default, making merge actions
      clearer and more consistent. Individual read-only files can easily be set
      as editable as desired. (Kai Willadsen)

  Fixes:

    * New version control API, currently used by Git and Subversion (Kai
      Willadsen)
    * Version control compatibility updates and fixes (Cedric Le Dillau, Louis
      des Landes, Kai Willadsen)
    * Command line labelling options now apply to folder tabs (Kai Willadsen)
    * Regressions from parallel inline highlighting calculations have been
      fixed (Kai Willadsen)
    * Diff algorithm cleanups (Piotr Piastucki)
    * Compatibility fixes for Python 3; this does *not* mean that Meld works on
      Python 3 yet, just that 2to3 issues have been addressed (Kai Willadsen)

2012-11-07 meld 1.7.0
=====================

  Features:

    * File comparisons are faster! Meld now has a smarter pre-processing step
      for inline highlighting of differences (Piotr Piastucki) and does its
      highlighting calculations asynchronously (Kai Willadsen), leading to
      better overall performance and interactivity.
    * Auto-merge mode is now available from the command-line (Piotr Piastucki)
    * Comparisons can be opened in new tabs (rather than in a new window) from
      the command line (Kacper Wysocki, Antoine, Kai Willadsen)
    * Custom colours can now be configured for all Meld drawing (Kai Willadsen)

  Fixes:

    * Improved behaviour when opening many tabs at once (Peter Tyser)
    * Notification of searches wrapping around the buffer (Philipp Müller)
    * Better compatibility with non-standard keyboard layouts (Stephan Hilb)
    * Better error reporting for failed VC comparisons (Kai Willadsen)
    * Version control compatibility updates and fixes (Jan Danielsson, Tim
      Babych, Kai Willadsen)
    * Other miscellaneous bug fixes (Jeff Oliver, Pacho Ramos, Rainer Suhm, Kai
      Willadsen)
