WinMerge2.16.58

Compare two files or directory trees in WinMerge to see exactly where their contents differ, then merge selected changes into a combined result. Side-by-side line views expose changed lines, while highlighting within each line pinpoints edits that might otherwise be easy to miss. A location pane provides a compact map of the comparison, showing how differences are distributed across the files or folders.

Filename and line filters accept regular expressions, letting you restrict the view to names or content patterns that matter. A syntax-coloring editor supports closer inspection and editing, while Unicode support accommodates text in many writing systems. Windows Shell integration places comparison commands within the normal file-management environment, and Visual SourceSafe integration supports workflows built around that system. Translated interface languages make WinMerge usable in several language settings.

The program suits developers, maintainers, and other Windows users reviewing revisions, reconciling parallel edits, or examining directory-level changes. It runs on Windows as an x64 build, is published by denisb, and is licensed as open-source software. WinMerge belongs to the Developer Tools category, and version 2.16.60 is the current release.
