v1.4.3 is released

New in this release:

• Added support for configuring Rational Synergy to use DiffPlug for Simulink comparisons.
• The Simulink differ links the diff windows to the list of files more clearly.
  • Mouse over a file in the FileList and the appropriate parts of the differ will light up.
  • Likewise, as you mouseover different parts of the differ, the appropriate part of the FileList will light up.
  • 
• The commandline client can now ask DiffPlug to quit for the purposes of install scripting.
  • dp.exe --Exit
• All search boxes (BrowseBar, KeyRing, etc) are now fuzzy searches.
  • 
• The Simulink differ can now display multiline property values.
  • This is especially helpful for Stateflow states and transitions.
  • 
• DiffPlug now supports navigating up one level using the Esc key.
• DiffPlug can now render masks that have plot() calls.
• Improved filtering for UserData.
  • If the property which binds the UserData to a block is filtered (e.g. UserData=DataTag12), then any changes in that UserData will be filtered as well.
• Better handling of MAT-Data Structures.
• Complete rework of library handling to focus on relative paths.
• Diffing “jagged” models and libraries is now much easier.
• Introduced a new report format.

Fixed in this release:

• DiffPlug now shows proper background colors for all blocks.
• DiffPlug’s Simulink viewer no longer clips text when zooming.
• DiffPlug’s Simulink parser can now handle transitions that don’t have a destination state.
• Fixed a bug in how the Simulink differ displays additions.
• Fixed a bug which occasionally prevented a tree-view from scrolling to the very bottom.
• Fixed a bug in how Workspace Data is displayed in Simulink diff reports.

Missing in this release:

• DiffPlug’s native Subversion client is not present in 1.4.3. It will return in future releases.

v1.4.2 is released

New in this release:

• Multi-select in the Property diff pane of the Simulink differ.
  • Easily ignore or unignore several properties at once.

Fixed in this release:

• Fixed a bug which made it impossible to drag and drop tabs for some users.

v1.4.1 is released

New in this release:

• Improved Simulink diff reports.

  • 2.5x performance improvement.
  • Dialog now estimates page count, and allows the user to cancel in-progress reports.
    • 

• Simulink filtering now allows nested paths and wildcards.

  • Previously, DiffPlug only allowed single-keyword ignores, e.g. Position.
  • Now, DiffPlug allows nested ignores, such as GraphicalInterface/ComputedModelVersion
    • 
  • DiffPlug also supports wildcards, such as SimulationSettings/*
    • 
    • SimulationSettings/* will ignore all children, grandchildren, etc. of SimulationSettings
    • Wildcards are only supported at the entire-node level. Sim*/SomeProp, SimulationSettings/*/Deeper, and SimulationSettings/Snapshot* are all invalid.
  • Right-click a block to wildcard all of that blocktype - effectively ignoring all blocks of that type.
    • 
    • Please note that this will ignore changes to these types of blocks, but not additions. There is no way to filter the addition of any kind of element.

Fixed in this release:

• Fixed several graphical regressions in the Simulink and Stateflow viewers.
• Fixed some incompatibilities with the way that older MAT-Files encode Java objects.
