KDiff3 1.8.5 Release Notes

[Michael Reeves]

KDiff3 1.8.5 is now released.
It can be found at https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/
kdiff3-1.8.5.tar.xz.mirrorlist

MacOS X and Windows 64 bit binaries have also been released.


Known Issues/Limitations:

*As of this time binary comparison has been temporarily disabled due to 
stability concerns. I hope to have this back for the next major release.
*KDiff3 due to multiple design issues is extremely inefficient both in terms of 
speed and memory usage. This is a carry over from the old kde4 code base.
Work to fix this is being done in master but requires significant reworking.
*The windows contextual menu is not installing properly
