v1.5.0 is released

New in this release:

• Realtime diagram tracking in Mathworks® MATLAB®.
  • While the button in the top-right of a Simulink diagram is engaged, MATLAB will mirror the selections you make in DiffPlug.
  • This link is optional, and all other features of DiffPlug will continue to work without a MATLAB license.
• The Simulink differ now ignores the order of Simulink properties, which greatly reduces the comparison noise introduced during MATLAB version upgrades.
  • The differ still respects the order of Array nodes, for which order matters.
• Added a Clean and Import from MATLAB button to help manage Simulink library folders.
• The conflict navigator ( ) now greys out options which are not possible, to indicate when you have reached the end of the conflicts.
• Simulink diff reports no longer display details which have been ignored.
• The Simulink internal property ‘ObjectID’ is now hidden to decrease the noise it caused in diffs.
• Improved support for Model Reference blocks.
• Synergy integration allows tying to only viewer or differ.

Fixed in this release:

• Fixed stability issues in the Windows explorer extension.
• Fixed a bug which prevented automatic detection of external changes.
• Fixed a bug in Simulink report generation which could cancel reports which contained matches between text and graphical elements.
• Text differ can now diff multi-megabyte files with ease.
• MAT-File viewer / differ now formats floating point arrays correctly.
• Fixed Stateflow display errors for R2014b and later models.

Missing in this release:

• DiffPlug’s native Subversion client is not present in 1.5.0. It will return in future releases.

v1.4.4 is released

New in this release:

• All differs now provide easy linking between the list of files and the diff contents.
  • Mouse over a file in the FileList and the appropriate parts of the differ will light up.
  • Likewise, as you mouseover different parts of the differ, the appropriate part of the FileList will light up.

Missing in this release:

• DiffPlug’s native Subversion client is not present in 1.4.4. It will return in future releases.

v1.4.3 is released

New in this release:

• Added support for configuring Rational Synergy to use DiffPlug for Simulink comparisons.
• The Simulink differ links the diff windows to the list of files more clearly.
  • Mouse over a file in the FileList and the appropriate parts of the differ will light up.
  • Likewise, as you mouseover different parts of the differ, the appropriate part of the FileList will light up.
  • 
• The commandline client can now ask DiffPlug to quit for the purposes of install scripting.
  • dp.exe --Exit
• All search boxes (BrowseBar, KeyRing, etc) are now fuzzy searches.
  • 
• The Simulink differ can now display multiline property values.
  • This is especially helpful for Stateflow states and transitions.
  • 
• DiffPlug now supports navigating up one level using the Esc key.
• DiffPlug can now render masks that have plot() calls.
• Improved filtering for UserData.
  • If the property which binds the UserData to a block is filtered (e.g. UserData=DataTag12), then any changes in that UserData will be filtered as well.
• Better handling of MAT-Data Structures.
• Complete rework of library handling to focus on relative paths.
• Diffing “jagged” models and libraries is now much easier.
• Introduced a new report format.

Fixed in this release:

• DiffPlug now shows proper background colors for all blocks.
• DiffPlug’s Simulink viewer no longer clips text when zooming.
• DiffPlug’s Simulink parser can now handle transitions that don’t have a destination state.
• Fixed a bug in how the Simulink differ displays additions.
• Fixed a bug which occasionally prevented a tree-view from scrolling to the very bottom.
• Fixed a bug in how Workspace Data is displayed in Simulink diff reports.

Missing in this release:

• DiffPlug’s native Subversion client is not present in 1.4.3. It will return in future releases.
