v1.6.1 is released

New in this release:

• DiffPlug now has an integrated Git client.
  • Free while it’s in alpha.
  • Used every day by DiffPlug staff to develop DiffPlug.
• DiffPlug’s SVN client has returned.
  • Free while it’s in alpha.
  • Not quite ready for day-to-day use.

New in this release related to Simulink:

• Differ buttons are now located inside the differ window, rather than along the top toolbar.
• Extensive improvements to Simulink reports.
  • When a subsystem block is added to a model, its contents are now included in the diff report.
  • Added icons for each entry to make it easy to see what kind of element (block, state, transition, etc.) was changed.
  • Long element names (usually Stateflow elements) are now truncated in the table of contents.
  • Very large images now have their lines automatically thickened to ease visibility.
  • Changes to properties are now highlighted on a character-by-character basis.
  • “Image per difference” reports now use a background highlight to emphasize the foreground, rather than dimming the background.
• The Simulink reference browser is no longer modal, which allows multiple references to be opened at once.
• Added a tutorial to assist with reducing comparison noise in Simulink diffs.
• The track in MATLAB feature is now compatible files from version control.

Fixed in this release:

• Browse now goes to the intended folder, rather than always selecting the user’s home directory.
• The content of folders are now ordered in a case-insensitive way (similar to the Windows explorer).
• The MAT-File parser was missing support for unsigned 16-bit integers, as well as some object packing formats.
• The Simulink “Image per diagram” report was failing intermittently - fixed now.
• When using the diff navigator to navigate a Simulink diff, the appropriate blocks are now highlighted in the diagram.
