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)
