assembly-differ

A .NET tool that compares the public API of two versions of a set of assemblies, writes the differences and suggests the version change they need: none, patch, minor or major.

dotnet tool install --global assembly-differ
assembly-differ diff "nuget|MyLib|1.2.0|net8.0" "directory|src/MyLib/bin/Release/net8.0" -t MyLib -f markdown -o out

Where each side comes from

Spec Assemblies
assembly\|<path> one dll
directory\|<path> every dll in a directory
nuget\|<id>\|<version>\|[tfm] a package from the NuGet sources your NuGet.config lists
previous-nuget\|<id>\|<version>\|[tfm] the release on nuget.org before <version>
github\|<owner/repo>\|<commit>\|<build command>\|<relative output path> a commit, cloned and built

Options

Flag What
-t, --target only diff these assemblies (repeatable); defaults to every assembly both sides have
-f, --format xml (default), markdown, asciidoc or github-comment
-o, --output output directory or file; without it the diff only goes to the console
-p, --prevent-change exit with 4 when the suggested change is at least patch, minor or major
-a, --allow-empty-previous-nuget succeed when previous-nuget finds no earlier release (a first release)

On Linux, Windows and macOS (arm64) the tool installs as a native-AOT binary; elsewhere it falls back to a framework-dependent build. It also runs as a container (ghcr.io/nullean/assembly-differ) and as a GitHub Action: see https://github.com/nullean/assembly-differ.
