I'm working on a KDE4 version, but it is not quite finished yet. > Yeah I know there are other alternatives too: meld, xxdiff, ... however > these utilities are slower than Kdiff3.

Part of why it took so long is because Qt4 was very slow in the early versions and KDiff3 was not at all satisfactory to use. Even now I needed some additional optimisations that weren't necessary with Qt3. > By the way I understand why Kdiff3 removed from the archive. You might want to try the current svn-version: Requirements: normal devel-packages for KDE4 + libkonq-devel (That's the name on opensuse 11). svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/utils/kdiff3 kdiff3 cd kdiff3 mkdir release cd release cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<KDE4-prefix> make sudo make install <KDE4-prefix> is where the other KDE4-programs are installed. (For me it's "/usr".) Feedback on bugs and regressions is appreciated.
