v2.9.0 is released

New in this release - Git

• Initial GitHub support.
• Support is limited to public repositories on GitHub.com. Private repositories and GitHub Enterprise support to follow.

Fixed in this release - Git

• Fixed a bug when diffing changes in the working copy of submodules.
• Fixed some bugs related to tracking branches, especially when their branch name doesn't exactly match the remote branch name (e.g. main-upstream).

New in this release - Simulink

• Added support for R2022b.

New in this release - general usage

• We have bumped the underlying Java Runtime to Java 17, which means that Windows Vista and 7 are no longer officially supported. No changes in Mac or Linux compatibility.

v2.8.0 is released

New in this release - Git

• Support for git submodules.
• Detached HEAD mode is no longer converted automatically to detachedHead-deleteme.

New in this release - Simulink

• It is now possible to turn off the library link icon if you want to.

Fixed in this release - general usage

• Calling the dp command line utility without an already-running DiffPlug is now more reliable.

v2.7.0 is released

New in this release - Simulink

• Added support for Simscape.
• Added support for R2022a.
• Added support for Stateflow entry and exit ports (introduced in R2021b).

Fixed in this release - Simulink

• Toggling the split direction while in the undocked state no longer causes an error.
• Previously, a diff filter such as subviewS/* would fail to apply on an empty subviewS node - it falsely assumed there would be a subviewS/someProperty=foo. This is now fixed, which reduces noise in diff reports, especially related to embedded MATLAB scripts.

New in this release - general usage

• Keyboard shortcuts for tab navigation.
  • Ctrl+W to close the current tab.
  • Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen a recently closed tab.
  • Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab to navigate through tabs (or Ctrl+PgUp/PgDown).
• Instead of "Accept commits", you now get "Accept 4 commits" (as appropriate).

Fixed in this release - general usage

• log4j has been entirely removed from DiffPlug.
  • We used version 1.x which was not vulnerable to log4shell (see also this eclipse writeup as we share many dependencies).
• Dragging and dropping changed files in the commit diff viewer is fixed.
• When uploading a new branch to a remote, the --set-upstream tracking information wasn't being saved to disk. Now fixed.
• On MacOS only, DiffPlug startup could hang on proxy configuration when no network connections were available. Now fixed.
• Viewing and diffing folders which filenames containing [...] has been fixed.
