MDIFF/MPATCH - What's new
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
What's new in release 1.60:
- Header file changed: sorry but MPatch 1.60 can't apply
patches made by MDiff 1.50.
- Now MDIFF automatically compute a default chunk length.
It may improve speed on large files.
If you experience problems with this new feature, please let
me know. Anyway a -c16 switch on the command line let MDiff
operate like release 1.50.
- The max chunk length is now 1024 bytes.
- Now MPATCH try to add a .MDF extension to the diff file
if it has no extension.
- Now MPatch and executable patches use copy instead of rename,
to avoid problems with OS/2 extended attributes.
- No more libraries distributed. Now you can purchase C
sources which contain code to apply patches.
- MDiff now has a Web Page at:
http://www.kagi.com/authors/giunti/mdiff.html
What's new in release 1.50:
- Fixed a bug of MDIFF command line processing: now MDIFF
can process command lines with more than 6 arguments;
- Now MDIFF automagically resizes the forced resync range
if it is necessary;
- Modified MPATCH structure: now it doesn't need floating
point math, so it is smaller in size (Dos version);

its speed;
- Changed headers to offer a more reliable encryption
when using password protection;
- Improved speed of MDIFF on very big files;
- Now MDIFF does not force upcase file names;
- Brand new C libraries added. Now you can easily make
your own patch applier programs using your Borland,
IBM or Microsoft C/C++ compiler;
- Spanish manual (translated by Juan Jose Comellas);

- New registration system (credit cards and FirstVirtual
now supported!).
What's new in release 1.45:
- Now MDIFF can generate password-protected patches;
- Totally rewritten MDF2EXE: now it can store up to 127
patches in the same executable;
- MPatch now returns the right error if the OLD file
is missing;
- Reorganized documents;
- Brand new WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT version.
What's new in release 1.40:
- If an .OLD file already exists, MPATCH renames the file
to .Oxx, where xx ranges between 00 and 99;
- MPATCH now recognizes if the destination file is already
patched;
- MDF2EXE, a program to convert an MDF file to an executable
file, has been added;
What's new in release 1.31:
- Now MPATCH will rename old file if it has the same
name of the new file;
- Fixed few minor bugs;
- Changed author's Internet address;
What's new in release 1.30:
- Improved diffing alghorithm;
- Now DOS version has no memory limit;
- Added to MDIFF the -Z switch to include a short
comment in patch files.

change the forced search range;
