For a planned development of version 3.x [1] no commits have been made to the 3.0 codebase since 2011.[2]

In 2011 a fork of the 2.x codebase titled "WinMerge 2011" was created. This new branch has continued to see active feature and bug fix development. It has also removed ATL/MFC dependencies so that WinMerge can be built using the free Visual C++ Express editions.[3]
