Understanding what changed between releases using K-DIFF tag comparison

When something breaks in production or a release behaves differently than expected, the question usually isn’t “what’s in this branch?” — it’s:

What actually changed between releases?

K-DIFF’s tag comparison is designed specifically for that moment.

Instead of scanning commit histories or manually comparing files, you can select two tags and generate a structured diff session that captures changes across the entire repository — code, files, and context.

That session can then be used to:

generate release notes

validate what actually shipped

audit unexpected changes

establish a clear baseline for regression analysis

By anchoring analysis to release tags rather than development branches, teams get a more accurate, version-aware view of change — which is often what matters most after deployment.

It’s a small shift in how diffs are used, but it makes release analysis far more concrete and less error-prone.
