DiffDog enhances Child Order Recognition

Altova DiffDog is a powerful diff / merge tool for files, folders, and directories. Altova DiffDog includes an easy-to-use synchronization utility quickly compares and merges text or source code files and directories via its intuitive visual interface. Altova DiffDog also provides advanced XML aware differencing and editing capabilities based on those popularized in Altova XMLSpy.

The following editions are available:

• Altova DiffDog Professional 2010 - Installed Users
• Altova DiffDog Professional 2010 - Concurrent Users

Updates in 2010 Release 3

• Enhanced Child Order Recognition
  XML-aware file comparison has been a powerful feature since the initial release of DiffDog in 2005, enabling XML developers and power users to quickly identify files that are equivalent XML documents even if they are not identical in a text-based comparison. One important DiffDog XML comparison option has permitted users to instruct DiffDog to ignore the order of the names of child elements when comparing XML documents. Child element order recognition is enhanced in DiffDog 2010r3 to process child element attributes as well as child element names. This expands DiffDog comparison intelligence to recognize equivalence between files when the only difference may be a subtle ordering of child information by attribute type.
