Thanks to our contributors we have a plenty of new exciting features and improvements in upcoming 0.21 release. I would like to give you a short tour over some of new features.

qdiff dialog now has new look and feel based on the nice toolbar (similar toolbar Gary has added for qannotate in past releases):

New toolbar in qdiff dialog

As you can see qdiff now has Find text feature, you can invoke this mode clicking by “Find” button on toolbar (or using Ctrl+F hotkey):

Found

Not found

qdiff options are in View Options submenu on toolbar, you’ll find there “Complete” knob (to see full-text for all changed files),  encoding selectors (for every pane) and even new knob: Ignore whitespace changes.

You can also force option “Ignore whitespace changes” from command-line with new qdiff command-line option –ignore-whitespace (short form -w).

Also, now you can control the size of tab characters in qdiff, qannotate and qcat windows via configurable option (tab_width). You can set this option either in bazaar.conf or individually for branches in their branch.conf. Global option can be edited via qconfig dialog:

Other improvements in upcoming release also include changes to qinfo dialog (it now shows the same information as CLI bzr info), qcommit now remembers “Show non-versioned” knob state, you can open files in their native applications while browsing treeless branches (or branches on remote servers) and other changes (see NEWS.txt for the full list of improvements and bugfixes).

Many thanks to all people who help us make new QBzr release awesome, especially: A. S. Budden, Dorin Scutarașu, Glen Mailer and many others, see NEWS.txt for details.
