 Applies to:: 1.5.5a, 1.3.1 (different patch files--see below)
 Purpose:: Patches the RecentChanges macro to be less confusing. (see: MoinMoinBugs/RecentChangesIsBroken)
 Description:: Many people find the set of revisions the current RecentChanges macro displays to be very confusing.  This patch makes the following changes:
 * For a given time range (by bookmark or days), all revisions to a page are ''always'' shown, grouped by day. (old behavior: only the latest day's changes are shown)
 * When viewing by day, the "glasses mode" is no longer used.  It now displays in the same manner that bookmark mode uses, which is:
   * '''New''' is displayed if the oldest revision for a day was a page create. (icon links to a view of the page)
   * '''Deleted''' is displayed if the newest revision for a day was a page delete. (no link)
   * '''Updated''' is displayed in all other cases (icon links to a diff for all of the changes represented by that line item)

In addition to applying the patch, I recommend that the moinmaster RecentChanges page be modified to remove the explanation at the bottom of the page.  With this patch applied, I believe no explanation for the RecentChanges page is neccessary.

For those still using an ancient version of Moin, I've posted a version of the patch for Moin 1.3.1:

Sometimes if you unpack a zip file or do use packages you can get a few hundreds log entries per page. Are those always shown? -- ReimarBauer <<DateTime(2007-09-10T17:08:22Z)>>
