v1.3.0

What's Changed

This one includes two features I've wanted for years: a webdiff command that detaches (to give you back your terminal) and JSON normalization. The webdiff process should reliably terminate when you close the diff browser window. If you run into problems with this, please file an issue.

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.1.0

v1.0.1

Highlights

• Use git diff for diffs by @danvk in #150
  webdiff no longer generates its own diffs. Rather, it relies on git diff to generate them. It is, in effect, just a frontend for git diff --no-index. This provides support for detecting rename+change, and all of the other git diff options, e.g. -w for ignoring whitespace and --algorithm.
• Use git config for configuration. See #150.
• Add host option by @danvk in #160 — serve webdiff under any host name you like, e.g. 0.0.0.0.
• Updates to dependencies
