Improved efficiency for diff-type detection, and the addition of a new colour area called 'cvsstuff' that allows an additional colour definition for this type of output. 'long colordiff colour options' has been removed, since it appears to conflict with the use of additional diff command line options. This change also fixes the bug, which means that colordiff returns the 'diff' return value correctly. Inclusion of a separate 'cdiff' shell script for colouring compressed and URL-based diffs.
Support for "dark" colors was added. Support was
added for long command-line options to change
colors on the fly. Inconsistent handling of
arguments in the input stream was fixed.
More tolerance of whitespace in the config file. More elegant handling of directories other than '/etc' being the location for the central colordiffrc and preserving a backup of an existing /etc/colordiffrc at installation. Extra documentation for 'less' options.
Diff identification is now more reliable. Diffs generated by 'subversion' are now recognised, in addition to plain diffs and CVS diffs. The colour 'black' can now also be specified in ~/.colordiffrc for use by those with light-coloured backgrounds.
