Hi Henning,

thanks for the kind comment!

Indeed the new diff algorithm is called "patience diff" and is
different and arguably more natural than the traditional "myers diff".
In Darcs 2.10 you can compare both diff outputs in commands like
whatsnew or record by passing the flag --myers to get the old
behaviour.
