WinMerge is a free software tool for data comparison and merging of text-like files.
For a planned development of version 3.x [2] no commits have been made to the 3.0 codebase since 2011.
[3] In 2011 a fork of the 2.x codebase titled "WinMerge 2011" was created.
This new branch has continued to see active feature and bug fix development.
It has also removed ATL/MFC dependencies so that WinMerge can be built using the free Visual C++ Express editions.
