What's new in this version:

New Code Compare with Greatly Improved Structural Comparison for C# 6.0/7.0 and VB:
- We have considered a number of comments on structural comparison and decided to switch to the Roslyn compiler that is the best choice when it comes to code analysis for C# и VB

Improved structural comparison for the latest versions of the С# and VB languages:
- Improved the binding of comments and processor directives to the structural elements in the code

Support for JavaScript and TypeScript editors in VS:
- Now the list of available languages in Code Compare for Visual Studio features such popular languages as JavaScript and TypeScript

Preliminary Comparison of Large Files:
- After running comparison, you will see a dialog box with information about the size, date and last modification for each file which size exceeds 10 Mb and info about file differences

Improved Support for 4-5K Monitors and Usability:
- We have also considered a number of reports on UI for the monitors with high DPI

Improved the style of dialog boxes:
- For more convenient scrolling in standalone application, we supported the Shift + mouse wheel shortcut. As for Visual Studio, we haven’t introduced anything new, since you can easily get this behavior with the SideScroller extension

Folder Comparison Improvements
- Navigation through the file tree after the search or deletion of an element has been fixed
- The ‘Launch Code Compare‘ command is now called ‘Compare Files‘ or ‘Compare Folders‘, depending on the type of selected nodes. It can be used on one pane or on the different pane, as it was earlier
- The Ignore line breaks option has been renamed as ‘Ignore empty lines‘
- The launch of comparison when invoking it from the Explorer shortcut menu of an element in the files/folders menu has been fixed
- The node_module folder has been added to the default list of ignored folders for the folder comparison, and the resources folder has been excluded from this list
- Autocompletion for the folder path has been fixed. Now you can easily invoke comparison for the root nodes of the file system
