v2.11.0 is released

New in this release - Simulink

• Added support for R2023b.

New in this release - Git

• You can now login to GitHub to view private issues and pull requests.
• You have always been able to select groups of commits or branches with ctrl+click, now you can also use shift+click.
• You can also use the arrow keys to navigate commits and branches, including shift selection.

v2.10.0 is released

New in this release - Simulink

• Added support for .sldd files (details).
• Some blocks with custom mask drawing code had their background and foreground colors set to white. Because DiffPlug can't read all custom mask code, white-on-white is invisible, so the foreground color is now drawn as grey for these cases.
• When the label of a constant block is too long to fit, DiffPlug tries shrinking the font by 1 or 2 points.

Fixed in this release - Simulink

• Stateflow blocks whose ports have been reordered are now drawn in the correct position - no more unnecessary wire bends.
• Various bugs around drag-and-drop on the DiffList have been fixed.

v2.9.1 is released

New in this release - macOS

• Installers for macOS are now signed and notarized to prevent security warnings.
• Installers for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc) are now available for better performance on Apple Silicon machines.

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.

v2.6.1 is released

New in this release - general usage

• When you mouseover the head branch, you now get a context-sensitive popup for downloading and uploading against that branch.
• 
• It is now possible to force-push a remote branch backwards (usually not a good idea to do that, DiffPlug will ask for confirmation first).
• 
• git push now includes --set-upstream.

Fixed in this release - general usage

• Confirm dialogs which are triggered by the sync pane now automatically have keyboard focus.
• Faster feedback when removing a branch or tag from git tips.
• "Show help whenever I open a new git history window" was not respected, now it is.
• Cloning a git repository could sometimes fail starting in 2.6.0, now fixed.
• Deleting remote branches and downloading branches which have been removed from the remote are now fixed.
• Attempting to git push and getting rejected because the remote has new commits now proactively prompts to download latest.
• Retry attempts which needed a --force were broken, now fixed.

New in this release - expert users

• Whenever you see a red X like below, you can right-click it to open a stacktrace dialog. In previous releases of DiffPlug, this was double-click, but now it is right-click. This change was needed to allow us to use the red X as a regular button in some important places, namely the git operation tracker.

v2.6.0 is released

New in this release - general usage

• The git client has been redesigned to improve usability and prepare for new features coming soon.

Fixed in this release - general usage

• Folder diff via the dp ext mechanism has been fixed, after it was broken by a performance optimization introduced in DiffPlug 2.5.1.

New in this release - for Simulink users

• Added support for R2021b.
  • Note: we do not yet support the new Stateflow Entry and Exit mechanisms which were introduced in R2021b. They will be added in the next release.
