Changelog

Diffloupe 0.2.0

The first public release, open source on GitHub, with updates from inside the app. Install it with one Terminal command from diffloupe.com, or from the disk image.

Review

• The Changes list refreshes live and compares the branch with the merge base of its target branch.
• Side-by-side and unified diffs with word highlights, folded unchanged lines and synchronised scrolling.
• The branch log shows only the branch's own commits, with merges from the target branch as divider rows.
• Rendered Markdown diffs, side by side or inline, with one placeholder line for a run of added or removed blocks.

Git

• Commit, Commit and Push, branch switching, and merging the target branch into the branch.
• The 3-pane merge window for conflicts, with yours, the result and theirs.
• A terminal tool window that opens in the repository.

Updates

• Diffloupe checks GitHub for a new version at start and once a day. Turn it off in Settings, under Updates.
• Update downloads the new version, checks its SHA-256 checksum and installs it when you restart or quit. Your settings stay.

Also new

• After a week of use Diffloupe asks once for a star on GitHub, and once more a month after Not now.
• An unexpected error opens a report you can paste into a GitHub issue. Diffloupe sends nothing itself.

Install

• The install command checks the SHA-256 checksum, replaces an older copy in Applications and keeps your data.
• Requires a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later.
• Settings gain an Updates section, and settings from 0.1.0 get it with checks on. Nothing else in your stored data changes.
