A new version of Meld, a visual diff and merge tool, has been released



Meld lets you compare two or three files, and updates the comparisons while you edit them in-place. You can also compare folders, launching comparisons of individual files as desired. Last but by no means least, Meld lets you work with your current changes in a wide variety of version control systems, including Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and Subversion.

What's new in 3.17.3:

* Fix folder compare when using text filters (Alsan Wong)
* Make activity spinner show when inline comparisons are running (Kai Willadsen)
* Migrate back from threads to multiprocessing for inline diffs; unusual CPU contention caused this to harm interactivity (Kai Willadsen)
* Manually refreshing a file comparison sometimes caused diff navigation to break (Kai Willadsen)
* Folder comparisons that update their state no longer break navigation (Kai Willadsen)
* Version-control comparison on missing files now work again (Kai Willadsen)
* Fix regression in initial focus for folder comparisons (Kai Willadsen)
* Fix handling for added, partially staged files in git (Kai Willadsen)
* Bugs fixed: 784436, 785603, 785859, 786043
