- Field Detail
  - heuristic
```
@Deprecated
public boolean heuristic
```
    Deprecated.
    
    When set to true, the comparison uses a heuristic to speed it up. With this heuristic, for files with a constant small density of changes, the algorithm is linear in the file size.
  - no_discards
```
@Deprecated
public boolean no_discards
```
    Deprecated.
    
    When set to true, the algorithm returns a guaranteed minimal set of changes. This makes things slower, sometimes much slower.
