 ###  - add possibility to store configuration options for latexdiff in a file rather than as options
 ###  - use kdiff3 as a merge tool
 ###  - make style that allows (forward and backjumping with hyperref)

 # Version 1.2.2a:
+#    - treat options to \documentclass as potential package names (some packages allow implicit loading of or imply selected packages
 #    - improved pattern matching: now allows nested angular brackets, and is no longer confused by escaped curly braces
 #    - improved pattern matching in COARSE mode: occasionally, the closing bracket or some other elements would be matched in an 'unnatural' way due to another sequence being more minimal in the computational sense, sometimes even causing errors due to tokens moving in or out of the scope of math environments. This is now discouraged by adding internal \DIFANCHOR commands (which are removed again in post-processing) (fixes issues reported via email by li_ruomeng .
