Create an HTML or XML report of changes for audit purposes.Īs well as being able to compare files and folders on local drives and network shares, Merge comes with plugins for Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Perforce. Compare product releases to be certain that only the expected files have been modified.

Synchronize a website with its staging area via FTP using the supplied FTP plugin†.įor release and quality control managers: compare different source code branches to give total confidence that you know and understand every change made to every file for a specific release. Use three-way comparison to integrate changes made by you, and those made by a colleague, with a common ancestor version. Work quickly and accurately, whether you are comparing individual files or reconciling entire branches of source code. Copy text from other applications (such as Microsoft Word) and paste it directly into a text comparison.įor software engineers and web developers: compare, understand and combine different source file versions. Directly open and compare the text from Microsoft Office (Word and Excel), OpenDocument, PDF and RTF files. I haven't tested it, but I hope the alternative diff coloration makes it easier to see single-word/space insertions and deletions within a line (which is something I often fail to notice in mainline KDiff3).For legal and publishing professionals: instantly identify every change between different contract or manuscript drafts. I stopped following KDiff3 development and decided to pin 1.8.5 on my system, which actually works.Īnother fork of KDiff3 is.

Unfortunately versions starting at 1.9.0 are drastically buggier than 1.8.5: Ctrl+C being incorrectly enabled and disabled ( ), merge errors (, fixed), drastic slowdown when loading CRLF files (, fixed), recurring assertion errors (didn't personally encounter, but, ), large chunks of Git history producing unusable binaries that corrupt memory or print assertion errors when loading files, etc.
