<p>hi list,<br /><br />is there a smart way to find the difference between 2 versions of a patch?<br /><br />sometimes i have 2 versions of a (complicated) patch<br />and i don't remember what's the (maybe small) difference between them.<br /><br />the methods i'm using at the moment are:<br /><br />comparing the behaviour.<br />however, when the patch has lots of possibilities this can be seriously time-consuming.<br />also, when the behaviour is different it's not always clear where to look for the cause of it.<br /><br />comparing the involved .pd files as text.<br />for that, i'm using the app Kdiff3 which can do complete dir's in one run.<br />it's a good tool, effective in some cases.<br /><br />visual inspection.<br />going through all subpatches looking for possible changes.<br />especially cumbersome when i have no clue where to look specifically.<br /><br />consulting my change-log.<br />hoping to find a hint.<br /><br /><br />i guess in the Pd-community there exist more methods/tools to tackle this search for differences.<br />hearing about it would be appreciated.<br /><br />rolf</p>
