New features:

  • Bash and Zsh completion functions are now included.

  • A manual page is now included.

  • New -W --always-exec-diff option.

User-visible changes:

  • The (unimplemented) option -e / --hardlinks has been (temporarily) removed.

  • When reporting mode discrepancies (-m / --mode), if no mask is used with --mode-or or --mode-and, then asked values are not shown.

  • The -| / --mode-or and -& / --mode-and options now take their arguments as octal (no need to lead them with a zero to force octal parsing).

  • The -p / --no-mmap option has been removed.

  • Using the -v / --verbose option more than once now increases the logging level.

  • The -V / --version option now prints compiled in features (ACLs, xattrs, etc.)

  • The command specified in -w / --exec-always is not run anymore if both files to be compared are hard-links of each other.

  • Updated BSD / MacOSX flags.

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed bug where paths could be wrongly displayed (when one of the arguments was / or ../ for example).

  • Change the inode cache hash function to DJB2 (performance).

  • Times could sometimes be compared incorrectly.

  • Compare symbolic links contents only when requested.

  • Crash fixed when the command line for -x / --exec or -w / --exec-always did not reference both %1 and %2.

Internal changes

  • Move to Git, git-aware build scripts.

  • Open files with O_NOATIME.

  • Factorize some autoconf code into macros.

  • Fix build errors when cross-compiling.

  • Support getdents64 on Linux.

  • Portability fixes for FreeBSD 12, MacOSX, Android, Solaris.

  • Add test suite.

  • Include RPM spec file.
