I'm very happy to announce the release of Daisy Diff 0.1.
Daisy Diff is a Java library that diffs (compares) well formed HTML
files. It's basically the same diffing algorithm that's being used in
DaisyCMS 2.1 but now in a stand-alone form. I believe there is a need
for the stand-alone library because all existing solutions to HTML
diffing are substandard.
The project website is:

Daisy Diff can be downloaded from:

The most notable features are:
* Works with badly formed HTML that can be found "in the wild".
* The diffing is more specialized in HTML than XML tree differs.
Changing part of a text node will not cause the entire node to be
changed.
* In addition to the default visual diff, HTML source can be diffed
coherently.
* Provides easy to understand descriptions of the changes.
* Allow easy browsing of the modifications through keyboard shortcuts.
* Changes to images are instantly recognizable through a red or green
shade.
Many thanks to Outerthought and Google!
