A Japanese version of Merge is also available.

BENEFITS:
For software engineers and web site developers: compare, understand and combine different source file versions. Work quickly and accurately, whether you are comparing individual files or reconciling entire branches of source code. Use three way comparison to integrate changes made by you, and those made by a colleague, with a common ancestor version. For 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. Compare product releases to be certain that only the expected files have been modified. Create an HTML or XML report of changes for audit purposes. For code reviewers and auditors: identify in context every change made between two or three source code hierarchies. Create a standalone HTML or XML report of your findings. Other users: Whether you are working with multiple revisions of text files or need to keep multiple folder hierarchies in sync, Merge might help save time and reduce errors by helping you to work quickly and accurately.

NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN MERGE V6.5
NEW/ENHANCED FEATURES It is now possible to create a report in HTML (example), HTML slideshow, XML or UNIX diff format for file comparisons. HTML reports are particularly useful for archiving and distribution. See Creating a File Comparison Report. Reports may also be created in HTML or XML format for folder comparisons (example). A folder comparison report can, optionally, include file comparison reports for some or all of the files involved in the folder comparison. Thus it is possible, in one operation, to generate a report that is a complete record of all the differences in all of the files involved in a folder comparison. This is especially useful in code review and code audit situations. See Creating a Folder Comparison Report. Merge v6.5 supports English, German, French, Inteational Spanish and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) as user interface languages; translation of the online help to German, French and Inteational Spanish is underway. Merge tries to choose a suitable user interface language based on the Regional Settings of the host operating system. It is also possible manually to specify the user interface language on the Application page of the Options dialog. Merge now provides a Virtual File System (VFS) API. All access to the filesystem (for example, by file and folder comparisons) within Merge takes place using the VFS API. Thus, third parties are now able to write plug ins that enable Merge directly to browse, for example, configuration management or version control repositories, FTP sites and web sites. This means that SCM vendors can now extend their integration with Merge such that Merge can compare and merge source code branches directly within the SCM repository. Support for the Win32 file system within Merge is implemented using the new VFS API, and full source code to this implementation is provided as an example. It is now possible for users to add synchronization links to tell Merge to re synchronize the comparison at particular points. This is particularly useful in some complex comparison scenarios. Various enhancements have been made to the Automation API.

APPLICATION LEVEL CHANGES Windows XP theming is now fully supported. Toolbar icons have been updated to be more in keeping with Windows XP. Some icons have been redesigned to more clearly indicate their purpose. More features are now available from toolbar buttons. Buttons on the toolbars have been re arranged in a more logical manner. Toolbars can now be customized. There is an option not to show the splash screen when Merge starts. Various defects have been fixed. Where appropriate, these fixes have also been applied to recent builds of Merge v6.0.

FILE COMPARISON IMPROVEMENTS For file comparisons, there is now an option automatically to reload files modified outside of Merge. The default character encoding used by Merge can now be specified. Previously, the system encoding was used by default. The command line compare utility can now be used to perform an automatic merge when a three way file comparison is launched. The default list of regular expressions now includes a filter for CVS style comments. File access related error messages are now shown directly in a file comparison pane, instead of in a separate error dialog. This is particularly helpful when multiple file comparisons are launched from a folder comparison. The status bar now shows the codepage of the file in the currently selected file comparison pane. File comparison panes now support optional line wrapping. Specific columns or column ranges can be ignored when comparing files. Sequences of characters matching specified regular expressions can now be ignored when comparing files. There is a new option in file comparisons to show only a few lines of context instead of large blocks of unchanged text. The EUC JP character encoding is now supported. Selected lines can now be marked as being resolved. They are then shown dimmed in the same way as resolved text following an automatic merge. It is now possible to replace text found as a result of a Find operation. Replace can operate within the current selection instead of the entire document. Merging buttons are have been made semi transparent on certain platforms, enabling any text behind them to be perceived. File comparison linking lines are now drawn using anti aliasing on Windows platforms that support GDI+. This improves their visual appearance. There is a new toolbar button to save all modified files.

FOLDER COMPARISON IMPROVEMENTS Folder comparisons are now shown within the main application window (instead of a separate window) and participate in the tab strip, if shown.

IMPROVEMENTS COMMON TO FILE AND FOLDER COMPARISONS Various commonly used file and folder comparison options are now directly available from a menu associated with the Options toolbar button. The Windows Explorer context menu now appears as an item in file and folder comparison context menus. There are new toolbar buttons for jumping to the Next and Previous change. The double arrow scrollbar buttons, which jump to the previous and next change within a specific file, are retained. A window showing comparison statistics for file and folder comparisons is now available. The default header and footer for printing has been improved. The presentation of printed pages has been enhanced.

OTHER CHANGES New style serial numbers have been introduced. We strongly recommend that you copy and paste serial numbers whenever you need to enter them. This is much less error prone than trying to type them in manually. A serial number is now required to use the Evaluation version of Merge. Evaluation serial numbers are available free of charge from the Araxis web site. Merge requires certain information about the user to be provided when it is first run (including the users name and email address). This information is provided to Araxis whenever Merge performs an update check. Therefore, provided that you allow Merge to perform update checks, it is no longer necessary separately to register Merge on the Araxis web site following purchase. The information sent to Araxis during Merge update checks has been modified. Users conceed about their privacy should read the Data Collection help topic. The Professional, Standard and Evaluation versions of Merge are now supported by a single executable. Previously, each variant used a separate executable. Merge v6.5 has a new splash screen.
