Option to ignore whitespace is in Text Filters section in Meld

The option to ignore whitespace while diffing two files exists in Meld, it is just hidden away. Go to Edit -> Preferences and click the Text Filters tab. Here you will find a whole set of filters that can be used to ignore whitespace, empty lines, comments and many other diff items.

Tried with: Meld 1.8.4 and Ubuntu 14.04
