Full Release Notes

Difftastic is a structural diff tool that understands syntax. See [the manual](https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/) to get started, and [the changelog](https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for historical changes.

### Git Support

Fixed an issue where git with difftastic would terminate with `fatal: external diff died` when there was an unmerged path.

### Parsing

Updated Bash, C, Go, Lua, Nix, Perl, Python, Rust, Scala, Swift and YAML parsers.

Fixed an issue with parsing raw string literals in Rust.

### Build

Difftastic now requires Rust 1.77 or later to build.

Difftastic no longer uses jemalloc on any Windows builds. Previously jemalloc was only disabled for MSVC.

### Command Line Interface

Improved error reporting when invoked with an invalid number of arguments.

### Display

Fixed an issue with inline display where it didn't always respect the value of --context.

Fixed an issue with side-by-side rendering when files contain tabs.
