Hello everyone! I've started this new forum for news and discussions specific to BC version 3.

We've been working on our BC3 prototype, code-named "Cirrus", for some time now. We're getting close to showing it off to a small group of users for feedback, then working up to a larger private beta group. By the end of this year we hope to have a stable, productive, public beta out.

Watch here for more news concerning our beta signup!

Great news! I, for one, have anxiously been waiting for news of v3. I am looking forward to see what Cirrus will bring. Thanks for a great product.

Can you give us some ideas on what BC3 will look like? :D

Publicly we're keeping it a bit under wraps for now, but I'll be posting more info here in the coming weeks, and perhaps I'll upload a screenshot or two. :)

I would like to apply to start testing B.C. 3 as soon as possible.

Thank You very much

We're anxious to show off Cirrus also!

We'll start by inviting some of our frequent contributors ;) for a "technology preview". Then I'll be posting a signup link here (in a week or two), so we can put together a private beta group.

Have you thought about porting BC3 to (Intel) Macintosh or Linux? Ive tried all their file and directory diff/merge tools and nothing even comes close to BC2. Much less BC3.

Here's a Cirrus screenshot (http://www.scootersoftware.com/images/cirrus_image1.png) that shows a bit of the new file viewer with full-screen editing and syntax highlighting enabled. Notice that the matching lines hidden by the display filter can be expanded, to study more code in the vacinity of a mismatch.

As I mentioned in my other post today, we're working on a BC3 for Linux version. :) Beyond Compare is written in Delphi, and from the beginning of our BC3 work we've tried to keep both VCL (Win32) and CLX (Qt) compatibility going.

This a repost of a previous post because I was not logged in when I posted and my name was not attached to the post.

I would like to register my interest in participating in BC3 beta testing on the Windows platform.

I'm really glad to hear you will have a Linux version of BC3. I've used Beyond Compare at work for years, and it truly is beyond compare. The only reason I've never bought a copy for myself is the fact that it is Windows only. My home computer is a Thinkpad running FreeBSD, and Beyond Compare is one of only a very few apps I miss from the Windows world.

While I'd prefer a native FreeBSD binary, all I really ask is that you ensure your Linux binary is fully functional under FreeBSD's Linux emulation. You do that, and I'll cheerfully buy BC3 Pro Win32+Linux. My credit card is standing by...

(Oh, and I found out about BC3 at donationcoder.com while googling for SFTP support in Beyond Compare. If you could toss that into BC3, that'd be swell, too.)

Thanks!

:cool: I'd also like to be included in the v3 beta testing, especially the 3-way merge functionality.
Beyond Compare is the tool!

Yes! (in Marv Albert voice) I'm excited for BC3, like a Christmas present.

BTW, if you need testing people, I'll help too if needed. I currently use BC in multiple nightly command line synchs (both local networked machines and to remote ftp sites), for integration use with TortoiseCVS, and general context menu ad-hoc compares. I could help with 3-way merge as well since I've needed to do some cvs branch merges for some time.
