Any Plan to a new release?
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.Meld 将很快发布正式的 macOS 版本。
come on baby~~~~
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).
@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.
(Mac Mini M4, latest macOS)

Bonjour @dehesselle,
I’ve identified a bug in your new meld port to Mac. Where can I report it?
Cordialement, Antoine
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… https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/wikis/Running%20Meld%20on%20macOS

@antoine2711 I'm sorry, you're probably not familiar with GitLab. I didn't mean for you to compile or run from source - of course you're welcome to do so! - but to test the latest artifact from CI. Every pipeline produces a development version of the app for macOS, the link I gave you takes you to the list of pipelines of the main branch. Click on the green checkmark in the middle (most recent pipeline on top, currently 1355) and then on "macos".
There will be a download button on the page that follows.
Also, development versions are unsigned:
On Apple Silicon, unsigned application bundles have a quarantine state and macOS shows they are corrupted (which they aren't). This can be bypassed by running
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine App.appwhereApp.appis the path to the application bundle.
If that's too much trouble for now, skip this and open an issue.
Hi @dehesselle, thanks for all this info. Yes, I didn’t know GitLab, pretty new to that tool, with your instructions, I manage to download from the latest pipeline.
For the non-signed app, I usually go with right-click + open, and this enables me to bypass the code signature. And sometime I use the xattr tool to bypass it.
It’s not too much trouble, I appreciate that you show me all of this.
Merci, Antoine

This works perfectly on my ARM Sequoia mac! Well done.
Just to reiterate, the latest releases of the upstream meld project are available on macos via
brew install --cask dehesselle-meld
but because these come from upstream, not this project, you must report any issues you find at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues
Looks like it's now simply:
brew install --cask meld
...as per https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/meld -- https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/dehesselle-meld returns 404
