<p class="p_Normal">Here are some of the significant new features in Beyond Compare 4. Items flagged with <img width="27" height="12" style="margin:0;width:27px;height:12px;border:none" src="pro.png"/> are only available in the Pro edition.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Mac version</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Beyond Compare now runs natively on Mac.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">BC for Mac has all the power and functionality you've come to expect from Beyond Compare, now with native look and feel, speed, and enhancements to make it feel at home.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Overhauled Home view</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">The new Home View adds session search and web resources. The layout is easier to manage with on-screen controls.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">3-way Folder Merge </span><img width="27" height="12" style="margin:0;width:27px;height:12px;border:none" src="pro.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Three-way merging now extends to folders. Compare independent changes against a common ancestor to quickly merge your changes with someone else's. It makes merging your customizations into a new release a snap.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Ad hoc unimportant text</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">It is now easier to define unimportant text in your Text Compares. Define unimportant terms directly from the Session Settings dialog, rather than having to edit your file formats.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, Subversion and WebDAV support </span><img width="27" height="12" style="margin:0;width:27px;height:12px;border:none" src="pro.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">In addition to FTP, you can access Amazon S3 cloud storage, Dropbox cloud storage, OneDrive cloud storage, Subversion repositories, and WebDAV resources directly from within Beyond Compare. Organize your remote service profiles with friendly names and folder hierarchies.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Overhauled Picture Compare</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Picture Compare has a new look, with automatic zoom, pixel-level details, and simplified controls. Tolerance comparison mode uses grayscale to reveal the image along with the differences.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Overhauled Options dialog with search</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">The reorganized Options dialog includes a search feature for finding specific settings quickly. Commands for all comparison types can be customized without first having to open a view.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Other significant features</span></p>
