• BIDS Helper has a Smart Diff feature that will ignore some changes in the XML, and hopefully only leave the real changes highlighted. Not that we can always make sense of what that XML is saying but it filters out a lot of the noise making it a bit easier. It's a free download and plugs into BIDS. Smart Diff is just one of the useful things about it. I highly recommend it.
