    2015-04-20 meld 3.13.1
    ======================
    
      Features:
    
       * Previously, Meld could show very different results in file vs. folder
         comparisons when the files differed in line endings. These are now much
         more consistent.
    
          * In folder comparisons, applying filters now also normalises line
            endings (Kai Willadsen)
          * In a file comparison, if the files-are-identical notification is shown
            when files differ in line endings, this now mentioned (Kai Willadsen)
          * There is a new preferences controlling whether to apply text filters
            during folder comparisons, defaulting to on, which also controls line
            ending normalisation (Kai Willadsen)
          * Help documentation has been updated with details of how text filters
            are applied in folder comparison (Kai Willadsen)
    
       * Folder comparisons will now show an identical notification similar to the
         one used in file comparison (Kai Willadsen)
       * The "New blank comparion" button now works for folder comparisons as well
         as file ones (Kai Willadsen)
       * In folder comparisons, the expansion state of the tree is now remembered
         when you collapse and re-expand a row (Kai Willadsen)
