+#  (2019-05-30)
+
+This is the first proper release of `deepdiff`. In preparation for go 1.13, in which `go.mod` files and go modules are the primary way to handle go dependencies, we are going to do an official release of all our modules. This will be version v0.1.0 of `deepdiff`.
+
+deepdiff is a structured data differ that aims for near-linear time complexity. It's intended to calculate differences & apply patches to structured data ranging from  0-500MBish of encoded JSON.
+
+Diffing structured data carries additional complexity when compared to the standard unix diff utility, which operates on lines of text. By using the structure of data itself, deepdiff is able to provide a rich description of changes that maps onto the structure of the data itself. deepdiff ignores semantically irrelevant changes like whitespace, and can isolate changes like column changes to tabular data to only the relevant switches
+
+

+* initial work & failing test ([70735a9](https://github.com/qri-io/difff/commit/70735a9))
+* use queue to find heavy exact matches ([de01e72](https://github.com/qri-io/difff/commit/de01e72))
+* weight-based parent matching propagagion ([d84c363](https://github.com/qri-io/difff/commit/d84c363))
+* working on step 2: finding exact matches ([6b38350](https://github.com/qri-io/difff/commit/6b38350))
