Finding change between CALS tables has never been so easy. XML Compare v12 is here!

DeltaXignia are excited to announce the launch of Version 12 of their leading XML Compare software. Following on our performance improvements last year across all products, we are releasing our best ever CALS table handling. This new version features a major update to the way CALS tables are handled when comparing tables and reporting differences. There are also a few new capabilities to ensure you get the best results when processing tables, so be sure to check these out.

Our best ever table comparison

Anyone who has worked with XML tables knows comparing is tricky – there is a trade-off between capturing structural changes and showing the content changes in a way that is useful for the reader. This release of XML Compare includes a completely new approach to table comparison that is focused on showing content changes in as much detail as possible. Those used to seeing row duplications in their table results will be pleased to know that these have been dramatically reduced. In the vast majority of cases, changes are now shown at the cell level, leading to a more intuitive table result.

Changes to spans

Handling spans is much improved with the results far more easy to display and understand when reviewed. Previously, row duplication often occurred when table changes included a modification to a span. The following examples show the new, superior table results for both row and column spanning changes.
