diff 8.x-1.1

Bug fixes

Fixes a couple of bugs and declares compatibility with Drupal 10. Here's the full diff, if you're curious.

Note that this release drops support for any versions of Drupal older than 9.3 (including all of Drupal 8).

diff 8.x-1.0

Behold, and at long last: a stable release of Diff!

This increases Drupal 9 compatibility, and fixes the following issues since 8.x-1.0-rc2:

diff 7.x-3.4

Bug fixes
New features

Small update mainly for PHP 7.2 compatibility.

diff 8.x-1.0-rc2

Bug fixes

Another RC after a bunch of bugfixes.

Most important change is that we removed the automated summary generation on the Revisions tab. It caused performance regressions and wasn't as useful as expected. We need a better approach for that goal.

Changes since 8.x-1.0-rc1:

diff 8.x-1.0-rc1

Bug fixes
New features

Diff is pretty much stable and we feel it's time for a release!

Since Beta 2, only minimum amount of breaking changes have been done. Most importantly, the configuration / diff builder settings handling wasn't clean and was overhauled.

Experimental support to display images in diffs is added. We don't know yet how to make this more pluggable, thus it's a hardcoded special case. #2840566: Make rich diff pluggable

diff 7.x-3.3

Bug fixes
New features

A long awaited maintenance release with a pot-pourri of various bug fixes and new features, including some minor CSS changes, and slightly better I18n support.

This release should fully support PHP 7, but there should be no backwards incompatible API changes.

Note: This release includes some string changes.

Changes since 7.x-3.2

diff 8.x-1.0-beta2

Bug fixes
New features

Diff is moving fast towards a stable release.

With Beta 2 we have completed all internal refactorings and completed some last minor API changes.
Since Beta 1 we focussed more on clarifications in the UI, shaping uniform terms, explaining how things work, and simplify logic to make the tool work as expected.

Changes since 8.x-1.0-beta1:

diff 8.x-1.0-beta1

Bug fixes
New features

Diff moved fast forward recently. We introduced plugin systems and added configurabiliy and needed to break some things to allow us moving forward fast.

It's time to stop breaking things. :-)

Additionally, we made great progress on the UI recently.
Line numbers are added to the two column diff view and the diff layout header is reduced.
Plugin labels are completely changed and technical terms dropped.

The focus is improving UX now for a final stable version.

Changes since 8.x-1.0-alpha5:

diff 8.x-1.0-alpha5

Bug fixes
New features

Diff now has a layout plugin system that allows us to ship different diff presentations.
The new default HTML Diff plugin offers rendered entity comparision with view mode selection and depends to an external PHP library. This is base on functionality previously found in HTML Diff project.
Both single and two column layouts can be switched between raw and stripped html output.
Plugins can be ordered, enabled/disabled with the first being the default selection.

diff 8.x-1.0-alpha4

Bug fixes
New features

A next alpha release after more cleanup.

We just made the diff property aware. Thus it's possible to have labels for recursive / hierarchical structures.
Some code cleanup happened, other issues simply have been fixed automagically by the property issue.

Still, APIs are not stable and further refactoring is happening. That's why still alpha and not higher level.
Hope we can complete the cleanup this week!

Changes since 8.x-1.0-alpha3:

diff 8.x-1.0-alpha3

New features

A next release of Diff.

The admin UI was completely reworked, now providing a clean configuration for diff settings.
The storage of settings changed, dropping all previous diff builder settings.
The new diff builder matching and default settings are much better and we expect that defaults simply work for >95% of users.

The config storage should be stable now.
Some refactorings in APIs are still pending, which is only relevant if you provide own diff builders or alter diff behavior.

diff 8.x-1.0-alpha2

Mini release. Simply added entity module as a dependency so we can continue adding tests that depend on it (thanks @dawehner).

diff 8.x-1.0-alpha1

First alpha release.

Works, but it stills further usage and manual testing. This release adds a Compare button only when viewing node revisions.

Future steps for the next alpha will be adding even more automated tests, integrating with other revisionable entities and integrating gracefully with other modules that alter the Revisions tab such as Workbench Moderation.

diff 8.x-1.x-dev

This release contains the latest work done for updating Diff module to Drupal 8

diff 7.x-3.2

Bug fixes

Fix erroneous variable name for default display diff settings form

diff 7.x-3.1

New features

Added UI setting to for default diff view type. Options are to display html in diff or as a plain text view.

diff 7.x-3.0

New features
Bug fixes

Generally the upgrade from Diff 2.x should be automatic, but there are a number of new features and changes that you should be aware of. These include:

  • Diff comparisons are driven by the new display view mode Revision comparison. This enables you to select what fields to compare and for those fields that lack Diff support, what formatters to use to compare the revisions. You would only need to enable this if you want to show different fields from those shown on the default view mode.
  • There are more configuration options including enhanced optional CSS and JScript options found under the Admin » Configuration » Content authoring » Diff. This area also contains the administration pages for global settings for entity and fields.
  • A string review has resulted in a number of string changes.
  • Inline diff settings are now found in the block configuration screen.

Significant changes within the code include:

  • hook_diff() has been replaced with hook_entity_diff()
  • many new field hooks and callbacks have been added.
  • system variable names have been changed so that they are entity specific and also that they are prefixed with "diff_"

Existing field support.
