Release 1.7.3

New Feature

Diff reporting option: Added an option to retrieve a DiffReport from diff operations.

DiffReport report = differ.diffWithReport(from, to, out);
// Determines whether there are any differences or changes in the diff operation.
boolean hasChanges = report.hasChanges();
// Indicates whether the primary algorithm failed and had to use a fallback.
boolean fallbackUsed= report.fallbackUsed();
// Returns the duration of the diff operation in nanoseconds.
long durationNanos= report.durationNanos();

Other changes

A set of internal refactors, readability improvements, small performance/resource-handling tweaks, added nullability/equals-hashCode consistency, static-analysis (Sonar) warning suppressions, and minor Javadoc corrections without any API changes.

Release 1.7.2

Features

• Comparisons can now use a LexicalTokenizer that generates text tokens more efficiently and consistently than the default regular expression-based tokeniser
• The tokenizer can support splitting based on consecutive XML spaces or Unicode whites spaces.
• The tokenizer can generate LexicalTokens that preserve the original characters and have a normalised form for comparison
• The LexicalNormalizer generates the normalised content for each token and supports the following features:
  • Diacritic folding: remove diacritical marks (such as accents) from characters, for example, replacing é with e
  • Bracket folding: replace any bracket (Ps and Pe Unicode categories) with either ( or ) to ignore differences between brackets
  • Case folding: replace uppercase letters with lowercase to ignore differences in case
  • Dash folding: replace any dash (Pd Unicode category) with a soft hyphen (U+00AD) to ignore differences in dashes
  • Punctuation folding: replace punctuation marks with a single dot to ignore differences in punctuation
  • Quote folding: replace any quotation mark (Pi and Pf Unicode categories) with an apostrophe to ignore differences between quotation marks
  • XML space folding: replace consecutive XML spaces with a single space (U+0020) to ignore differences in spaces
  • Unicode space folding: replace consecutive Unicode spaces (Zs, Zl, and Zp Unicode categories) or XML space with a single space (U+0020) to ignore differences in any type of spaces

Bug fixes

Improved AsciiMath error messages in process.

Release 1.6.6

Diff improvements

• Using a more efficient and accurate mechanism to strip whitespaces that aren't useful for diffing
• Handle differences in tables cells more efficiently by better detecting when diff recursion is necessary

Markdown bug fixes

• Importing markdown document using ATX style headings (with #) now correctly creates new sections and fragments

Full Changelog: v1.6.5...v1.6.6

Release 1.6.5

Features

• Updates diff algorithm to Gasherbrum V which can better handle differences occurring in paragraphs within nested structures like block labels

Full Changelog: v1.6.4...v1.6.5

Release 1.6.4

Features

• Added support for transclusions when converting PSML to Markdown
• Handle invalid paths gracefully with appropriate diagnostic warnings toRelativeLocalPath

Testing Framework Modernization

• Completed migration to JUnit 5 framework

Full Changelog: v1.6.3...v1.6.4

Release 1.6.3

PSML Diffing Enhancement

• Updated to include cell and hcell elements in the list, improving comparison behavior for table cells in ExtendedWhitespaceStripper
• Removed para element from the list to ensure proper handling of paragraph differences

Full Changelog: v1.6.2...v1.6.3

Release 1.6.2

New Features

• Enhanced XML Diffing Capabilities: Added new components for improved XML difference detection based on a diffing algorithm that handles structural and hierarchical block elements in XML documents. This algorithm implements a two-step diffing strategy that first compares structural elements and then performs detailed comparison within block elements. GasherbrumIVAlgorithm
