calandria

- a source document that still holds tracked changes has always been read as if every change were accepted (as Word's own Compare does). That is now said out loud: the source card shows "N tracked changes, compared as if accepted" as soon as the file is dropped, the change list carries one line naming each side's count after Compare, and the PDF summary report adds a "Tracked changes in sources" line. Nothing about how documents are read or compared changed; a clean document shows nothing new.
- new POST /api/inspect returns one file's count without touching the loaded comparison.

- comments are compared as displayed: matched by identity across the two documents (a durable id, then anchor overlap plus author, then text similarity), classified added / removed / edited / unchanged, threaded (a reply follows its parent), and their text diffed like body text. They are an uncounted, navigable side list — never a row in the change list, never part of the counted summary.
- drawn as right-margin bubbles on the page holding their anchor, with a connector to the anchored text and a bracket around it; a resolved comment shows a check mark. A commented document widens its sheet to the right to hold the comment column, so the body keeps its full width and a document paginates the same with or without comments; comment-free documents are unchanged.
- the viewer's location filter gains a Comments entry, listing every comment change with its author, initials, date, resolved state and diffed text, indented by reply depth.

- headers and footers are compared, as they are displayed: for every section, the header and footer Word shows on its first, odd and even pages (linked to the previous section when the section sets none), blank ones dropped, repeated ones once, in document order. Changes in them are counted like body changes, listed with the location Header or Footer, and the location filter has both.
- headers and footers are drawn on every page where Word draws them: the header at the header distance from the top, the footer above the footer distance from the bottom, the right variant per page (first page, even, odd). A header or footer taller than the room above or below the margin pushes the body, as in Word. PAGE and NUMPAGES fields show the page's own number (numbering restarts and roman or letter formats honoured) and the page total; a page number is never a change.
- a changed header shows its redline on every page it appears on; the change bar and margin number sit on the first of those pages, and the change list goes there.
- an inline image in an otherwise empty paragraph keeps its box (the template's logo headers are as tall as in Word); the picture itself is not drawn.
- known limits: a table inside a header is laid out as its cells' paragraphs stacked; a header change inside a continuous section shows from the next page; Word's red notice for a changed first-page or link-to-previous setting is not produced.

- the space between two paragraphs is the larger of the first one's space after and the second one's space before, as Word lays it out (Word's HTML paragraph auto spacing, on unless the document's compatibility settings turn it off). Before, the two were added, so a run of paragraphs with both values set came out taller than in Word; on the EPC template's cover that pushed its last line onto a blank page once the cover's footnote took its room. Measured against Word's own PDF of the template: the cover's lines now sit within a point of Word's.
- empty paragraphs at the start of a section no longer push the section's first text a page further: the page a section break starts was being charged twice. On the EPC template this removes the blank page before the list of schedules; the template alone now lays out at 199 pages against Word's 198.
- an empty paragraph is as tall as its paragraph mark says (its style's font and size), as in Word, instead of the document default size.

- footnotes and endnotes are compared. A note that was edited, added or removed shows as a redline like body text, with its own change number, change bar and place in the totals and the tiles; the change list's location filter gains Footnotes and Endnotes. A note's changes are numbered right after the paragraph that references it, so the numbers read in page order.
- footnotes are drawn at the foot of the page that references them, under Word's short separator rule, and endnotes after the last body paragraph. Reference marks are drawn as superscript numbers in the text, and a note opens with its number. A note dropped with its paragraph keeps a struck mark where it stood. A page keeps room for the notes it carries, so a line moves to the next page together with its notes. A long note is not split across pages in this version.
- before, references and note text were ignored: a note's edits were invisible and the pages had no footnotes.

- bold set by a paragraph style (a TOC level, a heading, a caption) is drawn in bold, as Word shows it. Before, only a run's own bold was drawn, so "SECTION 1" in a table of contents whose style is bold came out in regular weight. The comparison is unchanged: bold from a style is drawn, never reported as a formatting change.
- paragraph borders (w:pBdr: top, bottom, left, right, on the paragraph or its style) are drawn as rules in the pages and the PDF, at the border's width and colour, with Word's space between the text and the line. Adjacent paragraphs with the same borders and indents share one box, as in Word. Double, dashed and the other line styles draw as a single line. Before, borders were not drawn at all (the two rules on the EPC template's cover were missing).

- a tab formatted larger than the text around it no longer makes its line taller, as in Word. A table of contents whose entries carry an 11 pt tab between 10 pt text (every entry of the EPC template's stored TOC) now sits at Word's line pitch, so its page breaks fall where Word's do. Before, each such line took the tab's height.

- text formatted as capitals or small capitals (w:caps, w:smallCaps, on the run or its paragraph style) is drawn in capitals, as Word shows it; the comparison still runs on the text as typed. Small capitals are drawn at full size.
- a character from a symbol font (Wingdings, Wingdings 2, Symbol: a checkbox, an arrow) measures its own glyph width instead of a placeholder's, and the on-screen pages draw the glyph's outline from the font file, so it no longer runs into the text beside it. The PDF already embedded the right glyph.
- tabs advance to tab stops: the paragraph's own stops and its style's and list level's, then Word's default stops beyond them. Right, centre and decimal stops align the text that follows, and dot, hyphen and underscore leaders are drawn. A table of contents now lays out as in Word: number, title, leader dots, page number at the right stop. Before, every tab was one space.
- the change strip beside the pages lines up with the scrollbar: its marks and the band that shows the part on screen sit on the scrollbar's own track (below the top arrow button, above the bottom one and the horizontal scrollbar), placed by where each change really is in the scroll, gaps between pages and zoom included. Before, the strip spanned the whole pane height and placed marks by page number, so a mark sat a little off the thumb.

- a change is a passage: a contiguous run of inserted text, a contiguous run of deleted text, or a renumbered list marker. A paragraph that swaps a word holds two changes, the deletion then the insertion, numbered in reading order and labelled together in the margin ("22-23"). This is the unit other comparison tools count; the amendment class is gone, and the three tiles, Insertions, Deletions and Numbering, add up to the total. Before, every changed paragraph was one change and counted as an insertion and a deletion as well, so a 200-change document could read 200 insertions, 200 deletions, 200 amendments and 200 changes.
- the change list has one row per passage, showing that passage with a little unchanged text either side; the margin numbers sit beside the line each passage starts on; the density strip, the on-page highlight and the side panes follow the passage.
- the PDF summary line reads Changes: T (insertions I, deletions D, numbering N); formatting F (not counted).
- version 2.4.7 was built but never released; its work ships here.

- the row menu of the changes list keeps the keyboard focus while it is open (Tab and the arrow keys cycle through it) and opens from the keyboard on the current row (Shift+F10 or the Menu key); the row's menu buttons leave the tab order.
- "Changed pages only" keeps the reader's page when it is turned on or off.
- copy Final reports the number of lines it copied.
- the marks on the page strip carry an accessible label, and the strip reads the page heights once per layout.
- inside: the blackline and the side panes share one page builder and one side map; the server checks a requested side in one place; a PDF request checks the document names before its flags; an empty layout draws nothing instead of failing.

- the Calandria shortcut beside the launcher is written by Calandria itself, in the Windows shortcut file format, instead of through a PowerShell command: a machine that runs PowerShell in Constrained Language Mode refused that command, so no shortcut appeared and its errors filled the log. The shortcut is rewritten only when its contents change, so a synced folder is left alone. The log carries one shortcut line per start.
- "Defer page rendering" is on by default and has moved from the main display to Options > Rendering, where it can still be turned off. It is remembered.

- dropping documents fills the two slots and waits for the Compare button; a first drop of two files no longer compares by itself.
- a test toggle, "Defer page rendering", lays out the pages as they come into view instead of all at once, and finishes the rest in the background once the comparison is on screen. It is off by default and remembered.

- the compare runs about three times faster: the formatting of a paragraph is worked out run by run instead of character by character. The result is the same to the character (the old walk stays in the tests as the reference).
- the Original and Modified pages are laid out and drawn the first time their pane is turned on, and kept for the rest of the comparison; a new comparison draws the blackline alone. A pane turned on while a request is still running waits for it.
- the log (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Calandria\calandria.log) carries one timing line per compare, relayout and redraw, with the page count and the seconds of every stage.

- Calandria.ico ships in the zip and the launcher writes a Calandria shortcut beside itself with that icon, refreshed on every launch: a .cmd cannot carry an icon, a shortcut can. Start Calandria from the shortcut, or drag it to the Desktop or pin it.

- calandria has an icon: a delta with a red and a blue bar. It is embedded in the page, so the app window's title bar and taskbar entry show it with no file to fetch and nothing new to install.

- three toggles in the toolbar, Original, Blackline and Modified, show any combination of the three views side by side in that order (keys 1, 2, 3). Blackline alone is the default for every new comparison; the last pane on cannot be turned off.
- the Original and Modified panes are clean pages laid out by the same engine as the blackline, with no change marks. Marks (key m) tints the deleted text in Original and the inserted text in Modified.
- the panes scroll together by content: the paragraph at the top of the pane you scroll is put at the top of the others. Next, Prev, the change list, the density strip, zoom, Fit and Changed pages only act on every pane; the current change is highlighted in each.
- the PDF is unchanged: it is the blackline.

- once a comparison exists, the original and modified fields, swap and compare sit in the toolbar as a second row instead of above the pages; the remove buttons sit in line with the file names.
- the change navigation (first, prev, next, last, the number box and the count) sits at the right of the toolbar, beside the zoom controls and save pdf.

- the insertions and deletions tiles filter the way their counts count: an amendment (deleted and inserted text in one paragraph) counts as both, so those tiles now include amendments and a tile's list matches its number.

- gutter change numbers: changes that start on one baseline (the cells of a table row) share one label such as "7-9" instead of printing on top of each other, on screen and in the pdf.
- dropping a file on the original or modified card clears the page area's drag highlight, which used to stay as a dashed outline.

- a change-density strip beside the pages: one mark per change at its place in the whole document, coloured by category; a band shows the part on screen; a click jumps to the change.
- "changed pages only": a view toggle hides the pages without a change (page numbers stay real), and a pdf option writes only the first page and the changed pages (calandria pdf --changed-only).
- copy per change: a ⋯ button on the row, or right-click, copies the modified or the original text of that change; copy final copies the whole modified document as plain text.
- the change numbers in the margin stay legible below 100% zoom on screen; the pdf is unchanged.

- viewer: a ? button opens the shortcut sheet; the change list is a single tab stop; fit shows the on-screen scale and follows the scroll; aria roles on the cards, panel toggle, progress bar and notice; the formatting tile dims like the others when a category is soloed.
- server: a refused cross-origin request no longer resets the idle clock; only the session's own errors map to 400 and 409; a beacon on pagehide so a last hidden ping does not delay the stop; the log rotates to .1 instead of being truncated.
- launcher: the stamp path is quoted; when the log folder cannot be made the log goes next to the launcher. build: the zip leaves the testing package out.

- two labelled drop cards, "original" and "modified", replace the file buttons: drop one file on a card, or two files anywhere, or click a card to choose; a swap button exchanges the sides.
- the toolbar keeps only what every session needs: first / prev / next / last with the go-to box, the zoom stepper (−, +, 100%, fit; ctrl+wheel), save pdf and an options popover holding the comparison, page, rendering and pdf settings and quit.
- keys j / k and the arrows join n / p; the keys are shown on the buttons and ? opens a shortcut sheet. a progress bar during a comparison; errors show as a card.
- change list: each row shows its page and clamps to two lines; the count tiles are the category filters; a table glyph marks changes inside tables; the list folds to a narrow rail and remembers it.

- Calandria.cmd no longer leaves a console window open: the program starts in the background and the viewer opens in its own window (edge in app mode — no tabs, no address bar, its own taskbar entry; the default browser if edge is absent).
- closing the window stops calandria within a few seconds; a laptop that sleeps with the window open resumes where it was.
- serve --log=PATH writes the start line and any error to a file; the launcher logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Calandria\calandria.log.
- the extracted folder holds Calandria.cmd, the readme, the changelog and one _internal folder (the python runtime and the program).

- offline word (.docx) redline / compare: a paged on-screen viewer and a pdf, both drawn from one layout engine. runs from a single downloaded folder on any 64-bit windows machine — no install, no admin rights, no internet.
- compares body text, tables and list numbering; reports insertions, deletions, amendments, numbering changes and formatting changes; options to ignore case and to leave numbering changes uncounted.
- layout engine with word's pagination rules: font metrics from the installed fonts, widow and orphan control, keep-with-next and keep-lines, page-break-before, section breaks with their own page geometry, list markers with tab stops, atomic table rows.
- viewer: drop two files, compare, page through the redline, switch the rendering set (standard: blue double underline / red strikethrough; black and white), toggle change bars, hide any category, zoom 50–200% or fit width, and navigate the numbered change list (n, p, Home, End).
- pdf: embedded truetype subsets, redline styling, change bars, gutter change numbers, a uniform table grid and a summary report block (first page, last page or none).
- command line: dump, compare, layout, pdf, serve, version. nothing is written back to word; no .docx output.
- successor to sorkwhare compare 1.16.0 (frozen); extraction and change lists are held to it by a parity harness.
