Stefan Neufeind (http://pear.php.net/user/neufeind) has commented on the proposal for Text::Diff. Comment: Had a quick look at the source, and I like the idea of having such functionality in pear, so that you can also compare two text-blocks directly in memory or similar. Since it's already in use by Horde I asume the package runs smooth :-)) However, do you think it should just be used for diffing text? Or could maybe a more general package be founded which then also contained functions to do e.g. a DeltaV-diff on binary files (as it is done for Subversion) etc.? Though I haven't yet occupied myself with the algos, but it might be handy sometimes - and we wouldn't need an additional package for binary diffs.
