[Hidden-tech] Introducing jsdifflib

[Chas Emerick]

I know there are some software developers on the list, so I thought I  
would post an announcement to the list.  From <http:// 
blog.snowtide.com/2007/02/21/introducing-jsdifflib>:

> I’d like to introduce jsdifflib, an in-browser visual diff tool and

> service, it became clear that I needed a good in-browser visual  
> diff tool. I’ve become friends with a number of desktop “thick  
> client” diff tools over the years, but the interface to this new  
> service is 100% through the browser, and all those old friends

> minimum, but nothing ideal. There were a few javascript diff  
> algorithm implementations, but nothing that could be considered a  
> complete solution.

> live demo, and free downloads (with a BSD license).
