-* Bugs Fixed:
+- Bugs Fixed:
- * The new encoding detection for diff output generation (added in 1.2.2)
- introduced a bug if the left side of the comparison was the empty set.
- Originally found in [rspec/rspec-expectations#238][] and
- [rspec/rspec-expectations#239][]. Jon Rowe developed a reasonable
- heuristic (left side, right side, empty string literal) to avoid this
- bug.
- * There is a known issue with Rubinius in 1.9 mode reported in
- [rubinius/rubinius#2268][] and demonstrated in the Travis CI builds.
- For all other tested platforms, diff-lcs is considered stable. As soon
- as a suitably small test-case can be created for the Rubinius team to
- examine, this will be added to the Rubinius issue around this.

## 1.2.2 / 2013-03-30
-* Bugs Fixed:
+- Bugs Fixed:
- * Diff::LCS::Hunk could not properly generate a difference for comparison
- sets that are not US-ASCII-compatible because of the use of literal
- regular expressions and strings. Jon Rowe found this in
- [rspec/rspec-expectations#219][] and provided a first pass
- implementation in pull request [#15][]. I've reworked it because of
- test failures in Rubinius when running in Ruby 1.9 mode. This coerces
- the added values to the encoding of the old dataset (as determined by
- the first piece of the old dataset).
- * Adding Travis CI testing for Ruby 2.0.

-* Bugs Fixed:
+- Bugs Fixed:
- * As seen in [rspec/rspec-expectations#200][], the release of
- Diff::LCS 1.2 introduced an unnecessary public API change to
- Diff::LCS::Hunk (see the change at
- [rspec/rspec-expectations@3d6fc82c][] for details). The new method name
- (and behaviour) is more correct, but I should not have renamed the
- function or should have at least provided an alias. This release
- restores Diff::LCS::Hunk#unshift as an alias to #merge. Note that the
- old #unshift behaviour was incorrect and will not be restored.

## 1.2.0 / 2013-01-21
-* Minor Enhancements:
-
- * Added special case handling for Diff::LCS.patch so that it handles
- patches that are empty or contain no changes.
- * Added two new methods (#patch\_me and #unpatch\_me) to the includable
- module.
-
-* Bugs Fixed:
-
- * Fixed issue [#1][] patch direction detection.
- * Resolved issue [#2][] by handling `string[string.size, 1]` properly (it
- returns `""` not `nil`).
- * Michael Granger (ged) fixed an implementation error in
- Diff::LCS::Change and added specs in pull request [#8][]. Thanks!
- * Made the code auto-testable.
- * Vít Ondruch (voxik) provided the latest version of the GPL2 license
- file in pull request [#10][]. Thanks!
- * Fixed a documentation issue with the includable versions of #patch! and
- #unpatch! where they implied that they would replace the original
- value. Given that Diff::LCS.patch always returns a copy, the
- documentation was incorrect and has been corrected. To provide the
- behaviour that was originally documented, two new methods were added to
- provide this behaviour. Found by scooter-dangle in issue [#12][].
- Thanks!
-
-* Code Style Changes:
-
- * Removed trailing spaces.
- * Calling class methods using `.` instead of `::`.
- * Vít Ondruch (voxik) removed unnecessary shebangs in pull request [#9][].
- Thanks!
- * Kenichi Kamiya (kachick) removed some warnings of an unused variable in
- lucky pull request [#13][]. Thanks!
- * Embarked on a major refactoring to make the files a little more
- manageable and understand the code on a deeper level.
- * Adding to http://travis-ci.org.

-* Fixed bug #891 (Set returned from patch command does not contain last equal

- NoMethodError in the event of private :new being called).
-* Modified the non-initialisable callbacks to have a private #new method.
-* Moved ldiff core code to Diff::LCS::Ldiff (diff/lcs/ldiff.rb).
