Scooter Software heeft versie 5.0.0 van Beyond Compare uitgebracht. Met dit zeer uitgebreide programma, dat beschikbaar is voor Windows, Linux en macOS, kunnen bestanden met elkaar worden vergeleken.

Ctrl++/⌘++andCtrl+-/⌘+-for "Display Font Increase/Decrease" and Picture Compare "Zoom In/Out".- Command line now supports using /fv="Hex Compare" for archive files.
- File viewer encoding auto-detection now matches against the entire file instead of just the first 64KB.
- Fixed reading BC scripts saved as UTF-8 without a byte order mark.
- Mouse wheel scrolls the control under the mouse cursor rather than the one that has focus.
- Windows: "Register for All Users" option will now store the key in C:\ProgramData (%AllUsersProfile%) instead of Program Files so it doesn't need to show a UAC prompt.
- Windows/Linux: Titlebars now show "Administrator:" or "(Root Session)" when run elevated.
- Windows: Loading a base folder that contains a Windows shortcut file named "target.lnk" will no longer automatically redirect to the target of that shortcut.
- Windows: Fixed various issues with control and menu appearance on Windows 11.
- macOS: Copies within a single file system now make linked copy-on-write clones, so the file data isn't duplicated until one of them changes.
- Linux: Added KDE6 file manager integration. Thank you to Benjamin Robin.
Table Compare
- Windows: File views now assume UTF-8 instead of ANSI encoding for files unless it detects extended characters.
- FTP/FTPS/SFTP use binary transfers for all files instead of doing ASCII ones for some file types. The previous "Auto" behavior still exists as an option.
- FTP/FTPS/SFTP now uses UTF-8 for command/filename encoding by default. Previous "Detect" behavior can be changed in the profile's "Server > Encoding" tab.
- Deleting in folder compare/sync will now use the recycle bin by default.
- Windows: "Tools > Source Control" dialog (MSSCCI integration) is now hidden by default since most version control systems no longer support it. It can be manually re-enabled in "Options > Toolbars, etc".
- Increased "Binary size for binary compare" from 65KB to 4MB.
- "Limit next difference files to current folder" is now off by default.
- Added "Ignore Same", "Favor Left", and "Favor Right" buttons to Text Merge toolbar.
- Removed Text Compare "Full Edit" toggle. Full editing support is always enabled.
Windows Explorer context menu extension
- Autodetection of file formatting and column type has been improved.
- Multiple MS Excel sheets and multiple HTML tables can be compared with tabs.
- Default comparison uses a standard alignment rather than a sorted one.
- Individual cells are colored based on their differences.
- CSV files support editing on a cell-by-cell basis.
Installers
- Works in the top-level menu in Windows 11.
- Added "Compare Using Hex Compare" for archive files.
- Added support for right clicking on the desktop or in the background of a folder view to act on that folder.
- Using "Select Left File" and then right clicking on a folder now supports comparing a file of the same name within that folder.
- "Edit" command is now enabled for a selection of up to 15 files.
- Added "View Patch", "Compare to Clipboard", and "Open for Compare" commands.
Picture Compare
- Windows: Added /DisableUpdates switch to disable check for updates for the current user or all users.
- Windows: Install mode prompt (All Users, Current User, Portable) is now shown before the UAC prompt, so it no longer needs admin privileges for non-admin installs.
- Windows: "All Users" installs no longer prompt to run the Clipboard Compare on startup. Previously this only affected the installing user.
- Windows: Portable installs will now default to 64-bit versions on 64-bit Windows. Silent installs can use the /32 switch to force a 32-bit version.
- Linux: Creating an empty
/etc/default/bcomparefile will prevent the .deb package from adding the Beyond Compare repository and public signing key to the system configuration.- Linux: Uninstalling the .deb package will now remove the repository and public signing key configuration files if they were added automatically.
FTP/FTPS/SFTP
- Mouse now uses a precise + cursor when over images and the two images that the mouse isn't over show smaller cursors in the same relative positions.
- Mouse wheel scrolls the view rather than zooming.
Shift+Wheel will scroll horizontally andCtrl+Wheel will zoom in and out.
