File comparison. Meld shows differences between two or three files, highlighting changes in content. Modified, added, or removed lines are marked with specific colors for quick identification.
Directory comparison. The tool allows comparing entire folders, showing new, deleted, or modified files. It includes filters to exclude certain file types or name patterns.
Merging changes. Meld allows combining changes between file versions. Users can select which modifications to keep and which to discard through manual actions.
Syntax highlighting. Supports syntax highlighting for multiple programming languages, improving readability when comparing source code.
Direct editing. Files can be edited within the Meld interface without needing to open an external editor. Changes are saved directly to the original file.
Version control. Integration with systems like Git, Mercurial, and SVN. Shows differences between versions and allows reverting specific changes.
Custom filters. Options to ignore whitespace, case sensitivity, or specific text changes during comparison.
Quick navigation. Jump between differences with keyboard shortcuts or dedicated buttons, streamlining the review of extensive changes.
Action log. Maintains a history of operations performed during merging, allowing changes to be undone if necessary.
Unicode support. Compatibility with files in different text encodings, including UTF-8 and others.
Three-way comparison. Advanced functionality to compare three versions of a file simultaneously, useful in collaborative development environments.
Visual customization. Configuration of colors and fonts to adapt the display of differences according to user preferences.

Meld was created by Kai Willadsen in 2017. The project emerged as a graphical alternative to the file comparison tools available at the time. It is written primarily in Python, using GTK+ for the graphical interface. Over the years, it has received contributions from multiple open-source community developers.
