ECMerge still there :)

Hi all,

if you followed the development of ECMerge, you know that the public version of it has been stuck for a long time by now. Indeed we did not release a GUI ECMerge for a quite long time.

In fact, ECMerge is still developed in the background. Its command line version is used behind several web sites to produce comparison reports. ECMerge 3.0 contains a really good text comparison engine which is able to compare complex texts and still give good results.

We developed as well a side by side and in-line text-centric HTML comparison which is of fair quality.

If you want information about ECMerge 3, please contact our sales team.

Have a good week,
Armel

ECMerge 2.5.205 released

Hi,

We released ECMerge 2.5 build recently. It fixes essentially a problem with new SHA256 signatures that are now mandatory on Windows 7 +. It fixes as well 64 bits issues for 64 bit build of ECMerge (which is still to come officially with 2.6 new version but is available to download if you are interested in it).

Today there is a promotion of ECMerge on BitsDuJour, you can profit of it there:

64 bit builds coming for ECMerge

This blog was silent for months, as we have been highly occupied with other duties.

ECMerge is still on the workshop and we’ll release a new version by some weeks. This version will bring two new official builds : 64 bit builds for Linux and Windows.

Regards
Armel

ECMerge 2.5 build 203 was released

We just released ECMerge 2.5 build 203.

It fixes a few bugs and installation on OS X Mavericks and Yosemite should now work like a breeze.

We did not integrate yet the Russian translation, and already fixed another bug (which happens only on huge images with dozens of millions of pixels), so we’ll probably release another build within a few weeks.

Have a good week,
Armel

Soon a new build of ECMerge 2.5 (OS X + Russian)

We will soon release a new build of ECMerge, mainly to improve the installation experience for OS X Mavericks and OS X Yosemite (compatibility with new Gatekeeper requirements).

During past weeks, Konstantin kindly started a Russian translation for ECMerge, we’ll integrate it into this version if it is finished in time or into a later release else. If you want to participate into new or improve existing translations (especially Polish, Portuguese or Italian) please contact us through our site. We set up a Git repository for contributors.

Have a good week-end,
Armel

ECMerge 2.5.201 was released

Hi,

we released ECMerge 2.5 build 201 a few days ago, it fixes a problem in German translation as well as an annoying message in the console under OS X Mavericks.

We are still working on ECMerge 3, the command line is not fully complete but already in production. If you need only text comparison with red-line style reports, ECMerge 3.0 is ready and can produce your server side reports.

Have a good week,
Armel

ECMerge 2.5 build 200 is there

Last week, we released ECMerge 2.5 build 200 which fixes a bug in Xtract (the conversion of MS Word or OpenOffice Writer files could fail when the name contained Cyrillic characters).

We are aware of few quirks on OS X as well, we should we release a new build by the end of the month. We noted as well that the integration with svnX is not perfect (ecmerge tool must be in the PATH for the integration to work seamlessly).

ECMerge 3 is still progressing, if you want to be informed of the progress send us an email.

Have a good week,
Armel

A Windows 64 bit build of ECMerge

JohnW asked if we could make a 64 bit build of ECMerge for Windows a few days ago. As you may already know we have an ActiveX build of ECMerge (which covers all diff/merge feature of ECMerge), and to be able to run it in all Windows software it is built as 32 and 64 DLLs… so we already had a 64 bit build in fact.

We took a few minutes to create an installer for the Windows 64 bits build, so here it is:
http://www.soft.elliecomputing.com/soft/ecmerge.win64.exe

It requires the same serial number currently as the Win32 version, in ECMerge 3 it might be only for the Pro version as 64 bit capacities are typically only required by professionals.

Have a good week.

ECMerge 2.5 build 195 and 196 released

We hope that you are having good time with your family these days and that Santa brought you what you hoped.

We released ECMerge 2.5 build 195 and 196 a few days ago (the version 196 just added so called ‘Developer’ certificates for OS X so that you can now be sure that all the executable files in the application are from us).

The build 195 fixed a handful of bugs, improved the conversion of MS .doc files, and added new shortcut names for the executable on all platforms: ECMerge can now be called with ‘ecmerge.exe’ and ‘ecmerge-cli.exe’ on all platforms (once the path of installation of ECMerge known).

Have a good week,
Armel
