whatsdiff
CLI tool to see what has changed in your project's dependencies
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. It offers an interactive Terminal UI mode for browsing these changes more comfortably, and supports multiple output formats (text, JSON, Markdown) so you can integrate it into CI/CD pipelines or documentation workflows. There is also support for commands like check to test if a specific package has changed, which makes it suitable for gating releases or alerting teams of critical dependency updates. -

External Compare - Eclipse Plugin
Launch an external diff tool like WinMerge in Eclipse
Eclipse comes with an internal diff / compare editor, but if you prefer a third-party one, this plugin opens an external merge or diff tool for you. After you open two versions of a file in the internal eclipse compare editor, this plugin either opens an external diff tool automatically or you can choose that this plugin opens the external diff tool after you press a button in the toolbar of the internal compare editor. Furthermore the plugin can (optional) format java code before the compare. This simplifies the compare if the code of 2 versions of a file is different formatted. -

Duck2Dox
Convert Autoduck markup to Doxygen
This Python script is designed to convert Autoduck source code markup in C++ style comments to Doxygen style markup. The output is ready to be used with Doxygen. The output directory is a mirror of the input directory (the directory is copied before any conversion takes place) so the input remains untouched. The output directory only contains code that has been converted, and all non-supported files are removed from the output directory. You can then use a directory diff tool, like WinMerge, to review the changes. See http://www.literateprogramming.com/autoduck.pdf or http://helpmaster.info/hlp-developmentaids-autoduck.htm for information about Autoduck. See www.doxygen.org for information about Doxygen. -
