+WinMerge 2.7.6 Beta Release Notes
November 2007
+
+About This Release
+
+
+This is a development release of a WinMerge. This is not a stable release.
+In general, beta releases are not meant for production use. Beta releases
+should be usable in general, but they can contain bugs and unfinished
+features.
+
+
+
+This beta release is the last beta release before next 2.8 stable release.
+Between this release and 2.8 stable release there will be only smaller
+improvements and hopefully lots of bug fixes.
+
+
+
+Compared to 2.6.x releases there are many improvements done for usability
+of WinMerge. One huge improvement is the new localization system, which
+allows a lot easier translation of WinMerge. Then there are many improved
+dialogs and other features.
+
+
+
+Please submit bug reports to our bug-tracker.
+
+
What Is New in 2.7.6?
+
+
+For a complete changelog, see the ChangeLog.txt
in Docs
+folder in WinMerge program folder.
+
+
+New Localization System
+
+The most important change in this release is the new localization system. The
+new system is based on widely used PO files. PO files are text files that have
+both original (English) text and translated text together. As PO files are
+text files they are easy to edit. Also there is no anymore any kind of
+compiling needed for updating the files. So one can just edit the file and
+re-start WinMerge to test changes done.
+
+
+
+See WinMerge's development wiki for more information about translations:
+http://winmerge.org/Wiki/Translations
+
+
+In short: PO files have replaced LANG files in Languages-subfolder.
+
+
+Translations
+
+Several translations were again updated. We expect things to improve with
+translation statuses, as new system is so much easier to use.
+
+
+
+New Croatian and Portuguese translations were added.
+
+
+Other Changes
+
+ - HTML reports from file compare
+ - Improved printing
+ - New dialog for selecting folder compare columns
+ - New icon for Shell Integration
+
+
+Important Bugs Fixed
+
+ - Rename in folder compare misbehaved when renaming item existing only in other
+ side.
+ - Do not merge ignored differences when multiple differences are selected
+ - VCS system integration tried to check out wrong file - this caused many kinds
+ of side-effects.
+ - Backup file was created from wrong file in folder compare operations
+
+
+What Is New in 2.7.4?
+
+ - New confirmation dialog for copying items in folder compare
+ - Improved line filter -dialog
+ - Printing improvements
+ - Allow user to select syntax highlighting to use for file
+ - Tabbed multi-window interface
+ - Alternative big toolbar
+ - Recent project files in File-menu
+
+
+Important Bugs Fixed
+
+ - Crash when comparing empty folders
+ - Pressing ESC-key when renaming file caused a crash
+
+
+What Is New in 2.7.2?
+
+ - New XML (expat+scew) and regular expression (PCRE) libraries used
+ - Try to match files inside differences
+ - Optimized folder compare
+ - New options for creating backup files
+
+
+Important Bugs Fixed
+
+ - Crash when file modification time was missing
+ - Dialogs could be hidden behind other windows
+ - Many word-wrap related fixes
