 # ToDo:
 #
+# Version 1.2.1 (22 June 2017)
+#    - add "DeclareOldFontCommand" to styles using \bf or \sf old style font commands (fixies issue #92 )
+#    - improved markup: process lstinline commands in listings package correctly
+#      for styles using colour, \verb and \lstinline arguments are marked up with colour (blue for added, red for deleted)
+#    - bug fix: protecting inline math expressions for mbox did not work as intended (see stack exchange question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359412/compiling-the-latexdiff-when-adding-a-subscript-before-a-pmatrix-environment-cau)
+#    - bug fix: when deleted \item commands are followed immediately by unsafe commands, they were not restored properly
+#      (thanks to J. Protze for pull request) (pull request #89)
+#    - treat lstlisting and comment as equivalent to verbatim environment
+#      make environments that are treated like verbatim environments configurable (config variable VERBATIMENV)
+#      treat lstinlne as equivalent to verb command
+#      partially addresses issue #38
+#    - refactoring: set default configuration variables in a hash, and those that correspond to lists 
+#    - feature: option --add-to-config used to amend configuration variables, which are regex pattern lists
+#    - bug fix: deleted figures when endfloat package is activated
+#    - bug fix: alignat environment now always processed correctly (fix issues #65)
+#    - bug fix: avoid processing of commands as potential files in routine init_regex_arr (fix issue #70 )
+#    - minimal feature enhancement: treat '@' as allowed character in commands (strictly speaking requires prior \makeatletter statement, but always assuming it to be 
+#       @       a letter if it is part of a command name will usually lead to the correct behaviour (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/346651/latexdiff-and-let)
+#    - new feature/bug fix: --flatten option \endinput in included files now respected but only if \endinput stands right at the beginning of the line (issue #77)
+#    - bug fix: flatten would incorrectly attempt to process commented out \include commands (from discussion in issue #77 )
+#    - introduce an invisible space (\hspace{0pt} after \mbox{..} auxiliary commands (not in math mode), to allow line breaks between added and deleted citations (change should not cause adverse behaviour otherwise)
+#

 # ToDo:
 #
+# Version 1.2.1 (22 June 2017)
+#    - add "DeclareOldFontCommand" to styles using \bf or \sf old style font commands (fixies issue #92 )
+#    - improved markup: process lstinline commands in listings package correctly
+#      for styles using colour, \verb and \lstinline arguments are marked up with colour (blue for added, red for deleted)
+#    - bug fix: protecting inline math expressions for mbox did not work as intended (see stack exchange question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359412/compiling-the-latexdiff-when-adding-a-subscript-before-a-pmatrix-environment-cau)
+#    - bug fix: when deleted \item commands are followed immediately by unsafe commands, they were not restored properly
+#      (thanks to J. Protze for pull request) (pull request #89)
+#    - treat lstlisting and comment as equivalent to verbatim environment
+#      make environments that are treated like verbatim environments configurable (config variable VERBATIMENV)
+#      treat lstinlne as equivalent to verb command
+#      partially addresses issue #38
+#    - refactoring: set default configuration variables in a hash, and those that correspond to lists 
+#    - feature: option --add-to-config used to amend configuration variables, which are regex pattern lists
+#    - bug fix: deleted figures when endfloat package is activated
+#    - bug fix: alignat environment now always processed correctly (fix issues #65)
+#    - bug fix: avoid processing of commands as potential files in routine init_regex_arr (fix issue #70 )
+#    - minimal feature enhancement: treat '@' as allowed character in commands (strictly speaking requires prior \makeatletter statement, but always assuming it to be 
+#       @       a letter if it is part of a command name will usually lead to the correct behaviour (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/346651/latexdiff-and-let)
+#    - new feature/bug fix: --flatten option \endinput in included files now respected but only if \endinput stands right at the beginning of the line (issue #77)
+#    - bug fix: flatten would incorrectly attempt to process commented out \include commands (from discussion in issue #77 )
+#    - introduce an invisible space (\hspace{0pt} after \mbox{..} auxiliary commands (not in math mode), to allow line breaks between added and deleted citations (change should not cause adverse behaviour otherwise)
+#
 # Version 1.2.0:
 #    - highlight new and deleted figures
