diff-lcs 1.1.3
Diff::LCS is a port of Perl's Algorithm::Diff that uses the McIlroy-Hunt longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm to compute intelligent differences between two sequenced enumerable containers. The implementation is based on Mario I. Wolczko's {Smalltalk version 1.2}[ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/Smalltalk/MANCHESTER/manchester/4.0/diff.st] (1993) and Ned Konz's Perl version {Algorithm::Diff 1.15}[http://search.cpan.org/~nedkonz/Algorithm-Diff-1.15/]. This is release 1.1.3, fixing several small bugs found over the years. Version 1.1.0 added new features, including the ability to #patch and #unpatch changes as well as a new contextual diff callback, Diff::LCS::ContextDiffCallbacks, that should improve the context sensitivity of patching. This library is called Diff::LCS because of an early version of Algorithm::Diff which was restrictively licensed. This version has seen a minor license change: instead of being under Ruby's license as an option, the third optional license is the MIT license.
