Changes

  • 2.0
    • Fixed: User names containing single quotes.
    • Improvement: Added domain based configuration.
  • 1.10
    • Fixed: Collision of words and keywords caused script to crash.
    • Change: CSS tweak
  • 1.9
    • New: Deleted comments are now treated like one half of a diff.
    • Change: Use CSS instead of inline style for the bulk of the script
    • Change: Refactor Buffer class (should be faster).
  • 1.8
    • Fixed: < & > weren't being escaped, caused some rare problems.
    • Fixed: "Show" link now has proper background.
    • Fixed: Incompatibility with "Jira Change Combiner" (it wasn't play nice with the class)
    • Minor tweaks to the Style.
    • Removal of superfluous sections.
  • 1.7
    • Fixed a bug whereby the whitespace was being stripped before and after non-text elements (links, images).
    • Changed the dif/ins tagging to use a smart buffer. It's a bit slower but it collapses adjacent tags where ever possible (this can be turned off by adjusting the value of Debug_diffString).
  • 1.6
    • Rolled back part of Change:92921 was causing resizing problems.
    • Updated splitter regex. Some day I'll get around to doing it properly.
  • 1.5
    • Collapse Changes sections titles are now colored so they stand out.
    • Double clicking the section title cell causes it to toggle between full and hidden mode (just like what it does on the gray resize bar).
    • Some minor tweaks to the diff engine.
  • 1.4
    • New: Collapsible/Resizable sections in changes tab, applied to the Description field by default.
    • New: Diff highlighting, colors removed and added text in the change tab, applied to Description by default.
    • Fixed: Xpath expression didn't select everything they were supposed to.
    • KNOWN BUG: "Show" link for collapsed comments is the wrong color (I don't know why this is happening).
    • KNOWN BUG: Any attribute that isn't an attribute (events registered by script) will be lost during diff ~ tried to fix this but it requires a major redesign (I started but the rabbit hole kept getting deeper).
  • 1.3
    • Better user name detection
    • Better comment field identification
    • KNOWN BUG: "Show" link for collapsed comments is the wrong color (I don't know why this is happening).
