Introduction

Main target of this release is performance and stability improvement.

Documentation

With passing years due to many changes in plug-in functionality, documentation became slightly out of date. Although it requires a lot of work, it is still important and we plan to continue working on it in the future releases too. So, for now it is the issues #503325, #503330, #503542, #504927, #505006, #505089, #505115, #505119, #503329, #503327 that were addressed.

Stability

Stability improvements made were mainly related to the plug-in's compare functionality, such as issues caused by behaviour difference between SVN Kit and JavaHL API calls, improving the results representation etc. You can check addressed issue details on Eclipse Bugzilla in items: #501030, #506756, #502505, #505370, #508236, #508237, #495202, #492534. #509192, #509424.

Performance

Thanks to the community people's help, there were some major performance improvements including both: CPU and memory usage reduction. These issues are addressed by Bugzilla items #501032, #505611, #506785, #506757, #506760, #506762, #506763, #506777, #504058, #506811, #505360.

Usability improvements

In order to improve comparison results representation we've provided an option in "Compare with..." dialogues, that allows to choose between ignoring of the common ancestry of the compared resources or not (issues #508231, #512313).
