ModelMaker Structured Diff Viewer 1.05 released

Fri, 07 Jan 2005 13:26:56 GMT

Regular file based difference viewers report lots of changes if methods or properties are just moved to a different location in a source file - even if nothing relevant changed.

ModelMaker Structured Difference Viewer does not care about white space or position: It compares source a syntactically. This helps you trace actual changes, even if methods, fields or properties are moved or appear in different order.

New features in v 1.05:
+= C# syntax supported
+= Delphi 2005 syntax and IDE integration support
+= Extended command line interface
+= Customizable difference color scheme.
