Kompare is a graphical difference viewer that allows you to visualize changes to a file. Whether you're a developer comparing source code, or you just want to see the difference between that research paper draft and the final document, Kompare is the tool you need.

Kompare can

• Compare two text files
• Recursively compare directories
• View patches generated by diff
• Merge a patch into an existing directory

Kompare can either be used as a standalone application, or embedded in another application - e.g. as a patch viewer in konqueror or in KDevelop.

Kompare is part of the KDE SDK package, and it is released at the same time as the rest of KDE SDK and KDE.
