Any Plan to a new release?

[EliranTurgeman]

Hi
The original MELD had few releases in the years, the last one happening 2 months ago:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/releases

Can we also have a bump version for MacOS?

Thank you in advance.

From what I've been following for some time, this project is already dead. I don't believe there will be any more updates. What I can recommend is that you use the application called "Beyond Compare". Since this project no longer has a guarantee of support as it is abandoned.

Too bad because Meld is a great tool. Really pity that macOS version will not be suupported anymore. Other tools I checked are worse than Meld, even paid ones.

Meld will have an official macOS release soon-ish.

I don't know when 3.23 is going to happen, but upstream now has macOS CI and you can try development snapshots fresh from the pipeline (Apple Silicon only).

Will there be a version for Intel Macs?

@yousseb Do you have any plans to create a new release in the future?

fwiw, it looks like here are some releases from @dehesselle that work with latest OSX https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/meld_macos/-/releases (this also seems to be the CI pipeline that got integrated in upstream gnome/meld), I guess try at your own risk.

The release above is now available through Homebrew: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/dehesselle-meld

brew install --cask dehesselle-meld

This works fine. Was also looking for Meld as I got used to it on Linux. Installed via homebrew, and done. Works just fine.

Bonjour @dehesselle,

I’ve identified a bug in your new meld port to Mac. Where can I report it?

Cordialement, Antoine

[dehesselle]

The upstream project is the correct place: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld

Please check if the issue is still present in the latest development snapshot: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=main

Then create an issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues
I'll get back to you from there.

I’ve clone the project, but it eludes me how I can compile, build or run it on Mac from there.
I’ve installed meson, ninja, have python3.13.1 and gtk+ 2.24.33_2.

I get this error:

bin/meld
Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work.
module 'locale' has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'
Meld requires Gtk+ 3.22.

EDIT: I think I found the instructions…
