    =====================
    
      Features:
    
        * File comparisons are faster! Meld now has a smarter pre-processing step
          for inline highlighting of differences (Piotr Piastucki) and does its

    ====================
    
      Features:
    
        * Folder comparisons can now show extra information, such as file size and
          modification times. Column visibility and ordering are properly
          configurable. (Philipp Müller, Kai Willadsen)
        * Shallow comparison (i.e., based on size and timestamp) are now supported
          for folder comparisons, including timestamp resolution preferences for
          cross-filesystem comparisons. (Cristian Dinu)
        * The UI for launching new comparisons has been reworked to have a clearer

        * Recently-used comparisons are now supported, allowing you to re-open
          previous comparisons directly. (Kai Willadsen)
        * Read-only files are now not editable by default, making merge actions
          clearer and more consistent. Individual read-only files can easily be set
          as editable as desired. (Kai Willadsen)
    
      Fixes:
