In their own words
Delta Patcher
Delta Patcher is a free desktop application for creating and applying xdelta patches to files on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Create mode records the differences between an original and modified file in a new patch. Apply mode takes the original file expected by that patch and its matching .xdelta file to produce a patched output. The application includes the xdelta3 engine, so a separate command-line installation is not needed. Checksum validation can flag a source file that does not match, and users may preserve a backup of the original. Creation settings include compression level, secondary compression, source window, checksum, and an optional description. Version 3.1.5 added support for files larger than 4 GB. Delta Patcher is open source under GPL-2.0. Downloads are ZIP archives hosted on GitHub, with no separate installer. The project directs users to GitHub for issues, discussions, source code, and releases.
