0001 KDiff3-Readme
0002 =============
0003 
0004 Author: Joachim Eibl  (joachim.eibl at gmx.de)
0005 Port to KF5/Qt5 by Michael Reeves (reeves.87@gmail.com)
0006 KDiff3-Version: 1.12
0007 
0008 Now requires Qt 5.12 or later and KF5 5.70+. Legacy 0.9.98 and earlier builds are not supported.
0009 MacOS X build is 64-bit only unfortunately I can't test build locally. The Konqueror specific plug-in
0010 is not ported and no longer maintained. This plug-in would only apply to KDE before 4.6. As of 1/13/17
0011 cmake 3.1+ is the targeted cmake version.
0012 
0013 cmake is now the only build system supported. KF5/Qt5 was big jump. A lot changed besides just the API.
0014 I am not against a Qt5-only build variant but see no reason to maintain two separate build systems.
0015 At present KF5 is my focus.
0016 
0017 Known Issues:
0018 *Binary comparison has been temporarily disabled due to stability issues.
0019 *Network comparison operation via non file urls may fail for some configurations. This is under investigation.

0032 KDiff3 runs best on KDE but can be built without it, depending only on Qt-libs.
0033 These are available for Un*x, Windows, Mac.
0034 Thus there are many setup possibilities to consider.
0035 
0036 Supported Qt-versions: 4.8, 5.2 or higher.
0037 Supported KDE-version: 4, 5
0038 (For KDE3/Qt3 use KDiff3-0.9.92 or older.)

0049 ------------
0050 
0051 KDiff3 is a program that
0052 - compares and merges two or three input files or directories,
0053 - shows the differences line by line and character by character (!),
0054 - provides an automatic merge-facility and
0055 - an integrated editor for comfortable solving of merge-conflicts
0056 - has support for KDE-KIO (ftp, sftp, http, fish, smb),
0057 - has an intuitive graphical user interface,
0058 - provides a context menu for KDE-Dolphin and Windows-Explorer,
0059 - supports 64 bit systems. (Some build issues are discussed in here.)
0060 - Support for many encodings and Unicode.

0090 ----------------
0091 
0092    Start from commandline:
0093    - Comparing 2 files:     kdiff3 file1 file2
0094    - Merging 2 files:       kdiff3 file1 file2 -o outputfile
0095    - Comparing 3 files:     kdiff3 file1 file2 file3
0096    - Merging 3 files:       kdiff3 file1 file2 file3 -o outputfile
0097         Note that file1 will be treated as base of file2 and file3.
0098 
0099    If all files have the same name but are in different directories, you can
0100    reduce typework by specifying the filename only for the first file. E.g.:
0101    - Comparing 3 files:     kdiff3 dir1/filename dir2 dir3
0102    (This also works in the open-dialog.)
0103 
0104    If you start without arguments, then a dialog will appear where you can
0105    select your files via a filebrowser.
