Diff Mode

Diff mode compares two assemblies side by side:

dotsider diff v1.dll v2.dll

Each tab shows both assemblies with differences highlighted. Added items appear in green, removed in red, changed in yellow.

Press f to cycle through diff filters:

FilterWhat it shows
AllEverything from both assemblies
AddedItems only in the right assembly
RemovedItems only in the left assembly
ChangedItems present in both but different

This is useful for reviewing breaking changes between library versions, auditing what changed in a new build, or understanding the impact of a refactoring.

The Summary tab has selectable info panels and change statistics. Press Tab to cycle focus between them, select text, and press y to copy. iw and yiw work in these panels for quick word-level copying.

On the Types, Methods, and References tabs, focus a row and press y to copy it as tab-separated values. A brief flash confirms the yank.
