0.49.0

Difftastic is a structural diff tool that understands syntax. See the manual to get started, and the changelog for historical changes.

Parsing

Added support for LaTeX.

Updated grammars for C, C++ and Java.

Improved parsing of qualified constructors in Haskell.

Difftastic is now stricter about valid UTF-8 and UTF-16, considering more of the file's bytes during filetype detection. This fixes cases where e.g. PDF was sometimes incorrectly considered as UTF-8.

Diffing

Improved handling of delimiters ("nested sliders") in languages that prefer the outer delimiter, such as JSON and Lisps.

Build

Difftastic now requires Rust 1.58 to build.
