12.1.3 2 3- Minor GUI fixes. 4 5- Subtle bug fix by Bryan Huh which _may_ help resolve the bug that 6 affects saving when page ranges are in effect. 7 82.1.2 9 10- Minor GUI bug fixes. 11 12- Minor translation fixes. 13 14- Updated copyright year. 15 162.1.1 17 18- Tiny bug fix to make sure that the help file is in the right language. 19 202.1.0 21 22- Dragging and and dropping files from Windows Explorer, Thunar, etc., 23 now works (at least for me, on Windows 7 and Xubuntu). 24 25- Updated Czech translation from Pavel Fric. 26 27- French translation from Pierre-Alain Bandinelli. 28 29- German translation (and many suggestions) from Rainer Krachten. 30 31- Translations should "just work"; i.e., if you use a French locale then 32 the user interface and help text should appear in French. However, you 33 can force DiffPDF to use any language it supports by using the 34 --language command line option (e.g., --language=fr). If an 35 unsupported locale or --language option is used, DiffPDF will fall 36 back to English. 37 38- Now support -h as a synonym for --help. 39 40- Initial path defaults to home directory instead of DiffPDF's 41 installation directory. 42 43- Improved the Options dialog's layout. 44 45- A subtle bugfix to the --words command line option. 46 47- Fixed a crash: clicking to set a margin when there're no PDFs loaded 48 now safely does nothing. 49 50 512.0.0 52 53- Can now have comparisons exclude text that's outside user-specified 54 margins. This feature was sponsored by a company that prefers to 55 remain anonymous. 56 57- Save As can now save images as well as PDFs. 58 59- Minor bug fixes and improvements. 60 61- Command line help (--help) will no longer work on Windows. This is to 62 avoid a spurious console window appearing. I've put the output in the 63 online help though. 64 65- Improved dock window handling so that docks can now be stacked on top 66 of each other (useful for small screens). 67 681.9.2 69 70- Added missing step to the README. 71 721.9.1 73 74- Save As now preserves the aspect ratio. Bug reported by Rainer 75 Krachten. 76 771.9.0 78 79- Added Czech translation provided by Pavel Fric. 80 81- Will now use the default locale's language for standard dialogs (e.g., 82 for the file dialog). 83 84- Dragging & dropping one or two files onto the filename line edits or 85 onto the file viewer panels is now supported. Independently suggested 86 by Liviu Andronic and Rory Gordon. (This does not seem to work on 87 Windows.) 88 89- Show Zones checkbox is always visible (it was only visible with 90 --debug in earlier versions). 91 92- DiffPDF now starts up with its initial comparison mode being whatever 93 comparison mode was in force when it was shut down (or Words mode the 94 first time it is run). 95 96- Improved About box with more version info + contributors. 97 98- Added --help command line option. (For Windows this only works if 99 diffpdf is compiled with access to the console.) 100 1011.8.0 102 103- Introduced zoning: this can be slow in Characters mode but can provide 104 better accuracy in text modes. 105 1061.7.1 107 108- Improved Character mode to be as liberal about hyphens as Words mode. 109- Minor doc changes that I forgot for 1.7.0. 110- Minor GUI bug fixes and changes. 111- Minor under the hood efficiency improvements. 112 1131.7.0 114 115- Renamed Text mode to Words mode. This mode is best for alphabetic text 116 (e.g., English). 117- Added Characters mode. This mode is best for logographic text (e.g., 118 Chinese and Japanese). This was suggested by Paul Howarth. 119 1201.6.3 121 122- Very minor cosmetic changes. 123 1241.6.2 125 126- Save button is now only enabled if there are changes. 127- An improved help window with slightly more information. 128 1291.6.1 130 131- In rare cases the highlighting on the right hand page could be in the 132 wrong (horizontal) position; this has now been fixed. 133 1341.6.0 135 136- In addition to Appearance comparisons using highlighting, some 137 composition modes can now be used to help make subtle differences more 138 visible. (This was inspired by feedback by Florian Heiderich.) 139- Can now control the square size for appearance comparisons. Using very 140 small squares can help reveal tiny Appearance differences. 141- Can now control the fill opacity for highlighting. 142- Extended zoom range from 20% to 800% (was 25% to 400%). 143 1441.5.1 145 146Quite a few false-positives have now been eliminated: 147- All hyphens are treated the same now. 148- Some weirdly-encoded open/close double-quotes are treated as normal 149 Unicode open/close double-quotes. 150- Improved whitespace ignoring. 151 1521.5.0 153 154Added Save As action and dialog for saving the differences to a PDF file. 155 1561.3.0 157 158Added support for -a, --appearance, -t, --text command line options to 159set the initial comparison mode. 160 1611.2.3 162 163Added a mention of comparepdf in the About box. 164 1651.2.2 166 167Tiny change in how command line arguments are handled. This should make 168things work with both English and non-English locales on Windows. 169 1701.2.1 171 172Minor improvement with focus control for Previous and Next buttons. 173 174Acknowledged Steven Lee for building Windows binaries and Dirk Loss for 175building Mac OS X binaries in the About box. 176 1771.2.0 178 179Got rid of old text comparison mode. 180 181Various small user interface improvements. 182 183Fixed a subtle bug that meant the combine text highlighting setting 184wasn't saved and restored correctly. 185 1861.1.5 187 188Slightly changed the .pro file to make it a tiny bit more helpful. 189Added a Help button and separated Help and About information. 190Updated the README for Mac users (thanks to Dirk Loss for the info). 191 1921.1.4 193 194Improved the reporting of files that are the same. 195 1961.1.3 197 198Tiny bugfix for Debian. 199 2001.1.2 201 202It is now possible for the user to control whether highlighting is 203combined in text mode. 204 205Added a cache for page images. This makes it much quicker to flick back 206and forth between pages. The cache size can be set by the user: the 207bigger the cache the more pages that can be flicked through without 208recalculating. 209 2101.1.1 211 212Replaced QVariant::toReal() with QVariant::toDouble() to avoid breaking 213compatibility with Qt 4.4. 214 2151.1.0 216 217Added margin rules to indicate where changes are. (These can be turned 218off by setting a rule width of 0.0.) 219 2201.0.0 221 222Implemented the sequence matcher algorithm for text mode matching. 223 2240.6.0 225 226Redid the user interface to use dock widgets. 227 2280.5.0 229 230First release. 231
