Versions & Diffs for a userscript

I just wanted to say that I really like the diff feature and THANKS for everything

I really want to delete old version scripts...

@Chook: +1

I am terrible at making changes / versioning in general. I'd like to be able to manage it.

One very logical change to the code would be to overwrite last change unless there has been an install of the last version. This way we could freely edit the head revision for typos and such.

@Chook,

-2 (and maybe even more)

There are many safeguards in using version control. Among the many this one stands out in my travels. Trying to "cover up" an open-sourced project by deleting old changes will be a guarantee of loss of credibility. Another is referencing material. Everyone will make mistakes... anyone who thinks that they don't shouldn't be scripting.

@Marti:

It's not "covering up mistakes". Sometimes, I release a version of a script, but then make a quick style / feature addition to the same version instead of releasing it as a brand new version. When someone looks at the diff, they won't see all the new additions from the old version.

I'd like the idea of a changelog or even the ability to add a name/version number to the version log instead of having the date and time as the identifier.

Help me please!!!!

@Jesse:

How about a way to compare two different scripts? (Or at least, an API so that we can make such a thing).

I would absolutely love that.

I think a good addition to the versioning would be to add an indicator on the admin page for a script that would display which dates there were updates on.

Optionally using alternate CSS script plus the amo extension PageDiff works very well for me. :)

I would have to open up each raw js file to compare, if that even works I didn't try.

Marti wrote:
That's why you could use alternate CSS by GIJoe which can open up the raw source :)

JoeSimmons wrote:
I really don't care about using the script for anything else, I could just make it run only on source pages and toggle it when I want to view diffs.

To each their own. I prefer not seeing a narrow screen on my monitors though.

JoeSimmons wrote:
Me too that's why I use my style which expands the source to full width but not overflowing, and word wrapping.

Ok installed it, but it's not showing the raw source. It's still showing all the other elements.

Seems like you didn't found the "view" link (between the "install" and "changes" links).

@JoeSimmons: Thanx for pointing to your script - saves me to ask for that option! I also did not find the "view" link between "install" and "changes". Guess Marti was kidding - or using your script

it would be nice i we could delete some changes, or at least merge them
