ECMerge Pro 1.1 is now available at http://www.elliecomputing.com
Changes in this release:
new major features (XML pretty-printing, in-line differences, security
distance, ability to ignore lines changes with regular expression), =
fixed
various bugs, improved character encoding handling
Description:
ECMerge compares and merges files and folders, side-by-side or 3-way.
It is designed for software engineers, web authors and other =
professionals
who work with multiple revisions of text files or who need to keep =
multiple
folder hierarchies in sync. Two text files or folders can be compared to =
a
common ancestor: comparing entire source code branches can give =
assurance
that every change introduced in a particular product release is known =
and
understood.
Save your work at intermediate situation and restart it later (full
comparison status saved)! Define favourite comparisons as templates to
launch them in one click or with the command line.
ECMerge provides syntax colouring for C/C++, Java, HTML, ASP, PHP and =
many
others. The integrated XML pretty-printing filter allows great =
comparisons
for XML files, the equivalent output filter can compact the XML into
one-line file. In-line differences are detected (at word and/or =
character
level): Character differences are indicated with different colored text
within displayed files. A security distance can be specified for 3-way =
file
merges so as to attract user attention during risked merges. Ignore =
lines
matching a regular expression. Generate Unix patches between files.
Recursively compare and synchronize trees of folders and files to find =
the
differences both in file presence and file contents, works between local
directories or networked computers (Windows/Linux/MacOS). Filter
files/folders to be displayed in Folder comparison view, by name =
(regular
expressions), or by status.
Drag and drop of files/folders to be merged, list of recently used=20
filenames.
Can be used as a replacement of many SCC own merge tool, for better =
display
of changes and more efficient merges.
A Standard version limited to side-by-side comparison exists. Available =
also=20
for
Windows.

Subject: autoproject 0.20

* lib/cli/c/autogen/checkopt.def (flag): add short options for
everything, to work around bug in .tpl file.
* lib/cli/all/autogen/manpage.tpl: Add missing quotes in manpage
description for --help and --more-help.
* lib/cli/c++/none/xmalloc.c: eliminate references to error.h and
error(), to eliminate dependency on GNU libc.
2005-11-20 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.19
* lib/cli/c++/none/program.cc: eliminate multi-line strings
(thanks to Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>)
* README: update author's email
* autoproject.in: handle error return of expr (thanks to Joachim
Reichel <joachim.reichel@gmx.de>)

it's distributed.
* cmdline.c depends on cmdline.cli.in instead of cmdline.cli, so
it's not remade every time the user runs configure (since it
requires clig which the user may not have installed) (thanks to
Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@lrde.epita.fr>).

programs in only a few languages.

FSF address (thanks to Ulrik Haugen <qha@lysator.liu.se>)
2002-03-09 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.15
* autoproject.in (EEMAIL): initialize NAME to empty, and put $NAME
in quotes everywhere, to handle a name with spaces (thanks to Dave
Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>) (closes:Bug#136912)
2002-01-09 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>

from README:
autoproject - create a skeleton source package for a new program
autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a
new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new
package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the
Makefile. `make distcheck' succeeds.
The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a
new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory
and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project.
The version number for the new program is initialized as 0.1.0, and is
set in configure.in. It is available in C programs as the macro
VERSION, and in the Makefile as $(VERSION).
Optionally, the new package will use an external command line parser
or a parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports:
argp by Miles Bader, included in GNU C Library 2.1
clig by Harald Kirsch <kirschh@lionbioscience.com>
(see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/~kir/clighome/)
autogen by Bruce Korb <bkorb@gnu.org>
(see http://AutoGen.SourceForge.net/autoopts/)
I would like to support graphical user interface (GUI) as well as
command line interface (CLI) programs, but I have very little
experience with them. Contributions would be welcome.

As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, you may
use the files generated by autoproject without any restriction.
