Whatsdiff is a command-line tool built to help developers inspect and understand changes in project dependencies after running a package update (for Node.js with npm or PHP with Composer). Instead of just seeing version numbers scroll by, Whatsdiff allows you to compare the package-lock.json or composer.lock between commits, branches, or tags, and see exactly what changed in your dependencies—including version jumps, added or removed packages, churn, and often included changelogs.

Produces a succinct comparison of two Linux kernel configuration files, showing added, removed and changed settings, in an indented layout reflecting the configurator menus.

Now comes with a program to extract configuration variable names and their prompts from their kernel build system, to create a symbol table.

Toldiff is a diff tool that allows tolerable (insignificant) differences between two files to be suppressed showing only the important ones. The tolerable differences are recorded running the tool with an appropriate command line flag.
