This project uses a custom versioning scheme (and not Semantic Versioning).

- skip empty lines
- introduction of Meyers Diff Algorithm with Linear Space improvment (until matured this will not be the default diff algorithm)
- introduction of DiffAlgorithmFactory to set the default diff algorithm DiffUtils use (DiffUtils.withDefaultDiffAlgorithmFactory(MeyersDiffWithLinearSpace.factory());)
- bugfixing on new UnifiedDiff reader / writer for multifile usage
- bugfix for wrong DiffRow type while transforming from a patch that removed a line in one changeset
- introduced change position into UnifiedDiff reader
- introduced first version of conflict output possibility (like GIT merge conflict)
- moved verification to AbstractDelta
- introduced ConflictOutput to Patch to add optional behaviour to patch conflicts
- some bugfixes regarding unified diff writer

- UnifiedDiffReader improved for new file mode and better timestamp recognition
- minor bug fixes
- optional include equal parts of original and revised data
- API change: removed DiffException completely
- added possibility to process diffs to for instance show whitespace characters

- support for inline merge
- integrated JGit (Eclipse Licensed) to provide HistogramDiff to gain speed for large datasets
- switch to maven and removed other artifacts
- changed groupid to com.github.java-diff-utils due to different forks at github
- updated maven plugins
- JDK 1.8 compatibility, sorry if you have to stick with older versions
- restructured packages heavily
- changed API
- changed Algorithm to provide only cursor positions
- removed all kinds of helper classes in favour of new JDK 8 function classes like Predicate
- JDK 1.5 compatibility
