Meld 3.17.0 has been released, and is now available at:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/meld/3.17/meld-3.17.0.tar.xzThis is the first release of Meld that supports (and requires) Python 3.
Please note that Windows support is currently untested, and no build
environment has been set up for Python 3 at this point.
Python 3 porting
----------------
* Python 3 support; we now require Python 3.3 as a minimum
* Python 3 compatibility fixes; too many cases of bytes/string confusion,
syntax changes and other miscellany to mention individually (Vasily
Galkin, Kai Willadsen)
* Handle new unicode-escape behaviour and unicode/bytes confusion for
process interaction and version control plugins (Vasily Galkin, Kai
Willadsen)
* Add support for byte-based filters, to support directory vs. file
comparison filters (Kai Willadsen)
UI changes
----------
* The "Tabs" menu item has been removed, to better match up with more
modern GTK+ design. All of the actions are still available in the
expected key bindings, and there is a new per-tab context menu.
* The change action buttons in the central pane divider now correctly
render as flat buttons (Kai Willadsen)
* The curves in the central pane divider are now... smoother!
Internal changes
----------------
* Handle reload notifications better in asynchronous saving (Vasily Galkin)
* Remove multi-process diff in favour of asynchronous (threaded, but
GIL-throttled) matching (Kai Willadsen)
* Performance improvements in rendering of multiple widgets, as well as for
initial text comparison (Kai Willadsen)
* Many updates for GTK+ 3.20 and 3.22 ABI changes (Kai Willadsen)
* NOTE: Windows support is currently untested
Fixes
-----
* Update supported version control list (Kai Willadsen)
* Update requirements and build requirements lists (Kai Willadsen)
* Don't create empty help/figures directories (Kai Willadsen)
* Translation maintenance (Piotr Drąg)

What is Meld?
-------------
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool. It 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.
