+- Directory-menu: Fold/Unfold all subdirs
+- Bugfix for 3-way auto-merge: A line deleted from the base in B and C

+- KDiff3 is now a KPart
+ - in KDevelop3 it can be used to compare the current text with the
+ last saved version, or the current version on disk with the last cvs version.

+ version is available too.
+- Documentation is now in docbook-format.
+- "Toggle Split Orientation" for Diff-Input windows. (Good for long lines.)
+- When "Dir and Text Split-Screen-View" is off: Now "Focus Next/Prev Window"

+- Displaying a status message at the end of the directory-comparison.

+
+
+Version 0.9.61 - 2003/06/07
+===========================
+- Compilation problem fixed.
+- Directory merge: Preserving file attributes and times during copy. (now also for Win32)
+- Crash fixed, when directory comparison from the command-line was started.
+
+
+Version 0.9.60 - 2003/06/01
+===========================
+New features:
+- New ways to select input for the diff window:
+ - Pasting clipboard text into a diff window.
+ - Drag and drop a file from a filemanager (e.g. konqueror) onto a diff window.
+ - Drag and drop text from an editor (e.g. kate) onto a diff window.
+ Reanalysis starts immediately if no merge is in progress.
+ (This should help you to compare similar parts in the same file.)
+- New/Deleted white lines are now also considered as white deltas.
+- Configurable keyboard shortcuts for most actions (KDE version only).
+- The overview now also distinguishes whitespace deltas.
+New preprocessor options:
+- You can now define your own external Preprocessor and LineMatchingPreprocessor:
+- "Convert to upper case",
+- "Ignore numbers"
+Fixed bugs:
+- Directory merge: Preserving file attributes and times during copy.
+ (not for Win32 yet)
+Source-tree-structure:
+- Switch to KDevelop3 (Gideon): Renamed subdir "kdiff3" to "src".

+ and corrected support for external diff.
+New Features:
+- Search-function: Search for a string in all open text windows.
+- Special background colors for current region.
+- Button to toggle showing of whitespace in differences.
+- Buttons to go to next/prev unsolved (!) conflict.
+- While auto-advance waits, no more choices are allowed.
+- New setting: Auto-advance-delay.
+ (Note that with delay 0 fast clicks might be detected as double clicks and the second
+ click does nothing. My advice: Prefer the keyboard-shortcuts Ctrl-1/2/3)
+- Functions to Show/Hide Diff Window A, B or C. The other windows then have more space.
+- Merge editor: The right mouse button selects the current region and lets you choose
+ A, B or C via a popup menu.
+- Commandline option --auto: No GUI if all conflicts are auto-solvable.
+- When equal files are compared, then a message box informs you.
+- Merge current file: When comparing two or three files, the merge can be started with a single click.
+- Option dialog: Warning for "Defaults" added, because it resets all options.
+- A warning is given, when the user tries to merge binary files. (i.e. files that contain '\0'-bytes)
+Changed behaviour:
+- 3 file automerge: When for a line B==C (and A!=B) then C will be selected.
+ (In older versions this was a conflict. I was convinced that this is no problem.)
+- Auto-Advance now jumps to next unsolved (!) conflict.
+- On 256-color-displays KDiff3 uses them. (Previously KDiff3 only used 16 colors.)
+- On 16-color-displays the Defaults-button in the options dialog selects special colors.

+- Font-Option "Italic For Deltas" added.
