Make LVCompare available in all LabVIEW versions

Status: New

Software development has moved on since a similar idea was declined in 2016

http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Make-LVdiff-and-LVMerge-available-for-all-labview-vers...

I would like to suggest just LVCompare is made available in all versions of LabVIEW.

If LVMerge was also available that would be great, but leaving in just in the Professional version would also work.

As a lone developer I use GIT even on very simple projects to give me the ability to rewind and see what changes I have made. Projects are often put down and picked up weeks later. LVCompare lets me see how far I had got. Its also very useful for picking up debugging that should have been removed. In short Software Version Control just make my life easier.

Yes - please! It is totally not understandable why LCCompare is limited to the pro version - prohibiting modern software development!

I believe this idea has been accepted.

See LabVIEW 2022 Q3 Features and Changes - NI

"Compare VIs feature is now available with all editions of LabVIEW 2022 Q3 (Base, Full, and Professional) and not limited to a Professional Edition license."

 

That's great new for all LV users running Source Code Control.

LVMerge is still limited to the Pro version.
