Diff Anything 1.4: compare encrypted and multipart archives

Diff Anything 1.4 is out, with a much broader archive comparison engine.

It now compares ZIP/ZIP64/ZIPX, ZIP-based packages, 7z, RAR, TAR families, standalone Gzip, Bzip2, XZ, and Zstandard streams, encrypted ZIP/7z/RAR archives, and supported multipart 7z/RAR sets. Entries are matched by normalized path and streamed content hash, so timestamps, compression levels, member order, and other packaging-only changes do not create false differences.

The three-way merge workspace has also been redesigned. Ours and Theirs are each compared with Base, conflict navigation is clearer, unchanged source lines can collapse, bulk Ours/Theirs choices and reset are available, and compatible character-level changes on the same line can merge automatically.

Everything runs locally on macOS and Windows. There is no account, upload, cloud comparison service, analytics, or telemetry.
