Changelog

All notable changes to DriveWorks Project Compare are documented in this file.
The format loosely follows Keep a Changelog,
and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

1.0.1 - 2026-06-09

Added

  • A free, fail-silent update check. On launch (GUI) and after a CLI run, the app
    queries the GitHub Releases API and shows a "newer version available" notice
    linking to the download page. It only notifies — it never downloads or
    installs — and is silent when offline.

Fixed

  • Flip Direction no longer corrupts the summary cards. It was swapping the
    card labels instead of the counts, leaving a green card labelled "Removed".
    It now swaps the Added/Removed counts and keeps labels and colors fixed.
  • Inline diffs are now token-level instead of word-level. Because DriveWorks
    formulas rarely contain spaces, any change used to re-highlight the entire
    formula; now only the changed token (number, identifier, operator) lights up.
  • Flip Direction is now consistent for lookup-table grids — per-cell and
    per-column highlight classes swap, and "New"/"Old" column badges flip too.
  • Duplicate task / component-task names no longer collapse. Specification
    macro tasks (keyed by title + type) and component tasks (keyed by name +
    component) now disambiguate repeats so a change in a same-named task is not
    silently dropped.
  • No more no-op "Modified" rows. Navigation steps and form/control
    properties that differ only in a non-displayed field (e.g. the IsStatic flag
    with an unchanged value) are now treated as unchanged.
  • Status filtering no longer orphans grouped rows. A group's identity row
    (control/task/column name) stays visible whenever any of its child rows pass
    the filter.
  • Removed em dashes from the report (the "unchanged" status marker).

1.0.0 - 2026-05-15

First public release. Compares two DriveWorks projects and generates a
self-contained HTML diff report.

Added

  • Direct .driveprojx support, files are auto-extracted to a temp directory.
  • Recursive scanning, all project.xml, designMaster.xml, componentTasks.xml,
    and .tdm files in nested folders are picked up.
  • Sections covered in the report:
    • Variables (with resolved category names)
    • Constants
    • Special Variables
    • Calculation Tables, including row-level rules
    • Component Tasks
    • Documents
    • Lookup Tables, rendered as cell-highlighted grids
    • Data Tables
    • Specification Macros, per-task and per-property
    • Navigation Steps
    • Forms, form-level rules plus per-control property formulas
  • Hierarchical diff rendering. Forms, Macros, and Calculation Tables emit
    grouped rows where the parent identifier (control, task, column) appears
    once per group, with a visual separator between groups.
  • Interactive HTML report:
    • Sticky filter bar with status filters, search, flip-direction, and toggles
      for "Show unchanged sections" and "Show unchanged lookup rows".
    • Sticky per-form and per-table sub-headers stay pinned while you scroll.
    • Auto-collapsed sections for empty diffs, click to expand.
  • Three launch modes:
    • CLI, python -m dw_compare ...
    • GUI, python -m dw_compare --gui or double-click run_compare.command
      on macOS
    • Auto-detect, run with no args inside a folder containing two projects
  • Tkinter GUI with file and folder pickers, live log pane, and a
    background worker so the window stays responsive.
  • Help menu with Documentation link and an About dialog.
  • --version flag on the CLI.
  • Self-contained HTML output suitable for sharing by email or hosting on
    an internal share.
