tmeld 0.5.0

bmeld — Meld in your browser

• bmeld a b (or tmeld --web a b) serves the comparison to a browser:
  the same vendored engine, palette and keybindings, rendered by CodeMirror
  with real SVG linkmap curves. Files, folders and the version-control view
  all open as tabs; the process keeps the git-mergetool exit contract.
• --bind ADDR / --advertise HOST to reach it from other machines (loopback
  by default, with a warning when you open it wider). --port implies --web.
• One press of Ctrl-C exits cleanly even with a browser attached; a cache-busted
  build id in the footer tells you which bundle you are running.

One command line

• tmeld and bmeld now share a single parser and validation. --web selects
  the browser and --port implies it; options that belong to the other
  front-end are refused rather than silently ignored.

Terminal UI

• Esc quits (warning once if there are unsaved edits); a ✕ closes the lone
  comparison when the tab strip is hidden.
• Read-only panes get Meld's treatment: the push arrow toward them becomes a
  delete (✕), a 🔒 marks the file, and a /dev/null side (as p4 and git pass
  for an added or deleted file) is read-only automatically.
• One overview map per pane, so the two sides drift apart as they diverge; the
  first pane's scrollbar moves to the far left, clear of the linkmap.
• Line numbers are hidden by default, matching Meld; the status bar carries
  Ln, Col. --show-line-numbers restores them.
• Graphics mode: the gutter arrows are Meld's own icons, drawn into the linkmap
  and scaled with the font; the insert marker (Meld's thin line for a one-sided
  change) is drawn under kitty; the channel takes Meld's grey.
• Tab strip: slanted caps, palette colours meeting WCAG contrast, and one fewer
  row (the underline is gone).

Packaging

• The Debian package now ships bmeld too, depends on the system aiohttp rather
  than bundling it (staying Architecture: all), and maint/mkdeb.sh stamps
  each build so rebuilds upgrade in place.

Fixes

• Diff-chunk fills now cover the full scrollable width, not just the viewport.
• Empty panes are no longer reported as modified.

tmeld 0.4.0

• Version-control view: tmeld . shows working-copy status (git
  first-class; bzr/cvs/darcs/hg/svn backends vendored). Enter compares
  against the repository; conflicted files open a remote/merge/local
  three-way whose middle-pane saves resolve the working file. c
  commits, r reverts, Ctrl+R/F5 rescans.
• Tier-2 graphics: Meld's anti-aliased linkmap connector curves drawn
  between the panes on kitty-graphics or sixel terminals
  (auto-probed at startup, --graphics to override); the overview map
  gains pixel resolution so single-line chunks stay visible in huge
  files.
• Tab polish: click-to-close ✕, active-tab highlight, overflow shift
  arrows + mouse-wheel scrolling on the tab strip.
• Release packaging: LICENSE, vendoring provenance notices, CI.
