Details
- 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)
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)
Patch
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.

See: MoinMoinBugs/RecentChangesIsBroken
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 2007-09-10 17:08:22
