Description Dani Megert

3.6 RC2.

compare_contentviewer.htm says:

 RangeDifferencer  finds the longest sequences of matching and non-matching comparable entities in text content. Its implementation is based on an objectified version of the algorithm by Eugene W. Myers found <a href="http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/myers86ond.html">here</a>.


Please verify whether we still use that algo (I know we changed things here) and make sure that the link to the algorithm works.

Removing those sentences, we no longer use that algorithm. See bug 268073, comment 0 for details.
