Is there any precompiled release for Windows?

Hello, can this be used under windows, if so, how can I install it on windows?
Yes that should be possible. You need to install rust/cargo first (see here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install (most likely some rustup-init.exe))
After adding cargo to path (normally the installation should handle that for you) you just need to run 'cargo install keepass-diff' and this gets compiled.
At the end you might need to add .cargo/bin also to your path (if the installation of rustup didn't) to run it from everywhere.
Hello @caemor
I tried the compilation and it failed.
I installed C++ build tools ( from vs 2019) and rust using rustup-init.
I then ran "cargo install keepass-diff"
Am I doing something wrong ?

You are doing everything correctly.
It seems the old version of secstr was windows incompatible (https://github.com/myfreeweb/secstr/blob/v0.2.1/src/lib.rs#L165)
There is a new version avaibable which is included in a newer version of keepass. So keepass-diff needs to update it's keepass dependency.
So until someone patches keepass-diff it seems like it won't compile on anything not being unix, e.g. windows or mac.
You could either try my fork (https://github.com/caemor/keepass-diff/tree/fix-windows-comp-with-updating-dep) or wait until the PR i added, is accepted in here.
@caemor - How do I use your fork ?
Pardon my ignorance. I installed Rust only to get this tool.
git clone my fork : git clone https://github.com/caemor/keepass-diff.git
switch to that directory
checkout updated branch: git branch master origin/fix-windows-comp-with-updating-dep
and then install the local files with cargo: cargo install (you can also use cargo install --path .)
if you don`t want to download it with git, you can directly download the files at https://github.com/caemor/keepass-diff/archive/fix-windows-comp-with-updating-dep.zip
