Description athompson 2007-06-15 19:27:28 UTC 
from my 6/15/2007 comment on issue 102449:

while this 'fisheye' thing looks very promising, this is a major regression. there needs to be an link on the download
page of a build which shows ONLY the changes from the previous build that were incorporated into this one. the current
download page/approach falls short of previous functionality in several ways:

- there is no aforementioned link on the download page.
- the UI for fisheye is too complex. i don't care about folders, branches, tags, or dates.  all i care about is the
changes that went into this build.
- unless you know the exact cutoff date and time for the last two builds, there is no way of knowing which changes
actually made it into the build.

i'm sure fisheye can handle queries as far as the dates are concerned, so it should be doable to generate the correct
link and stick it on the page.

Reducing priority to P3, moving to appropriate subcomponent.
Comment 2 rbalada 2008-01-15 13:54:29 UTC 
This has been fixed in infrastructure which is going to be available with upcoming Mercurial migration.
Comment 3 athompson 2008-02-13 15:39:16 UTC 
i still don't see a way to show just the changes that went into this build since the previous build).  i'm i missing it
somewhere?
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2008-02-13 17:28:59 UTC 
Probably still in flux as we just recently moved to Hg, but we do plan to have the build_info file mention the ID of the
changeset used to make the build, which is enough info to reconstruct the list of changes. (From the hg command this is
easy; not sure about the hgwebdir web interface.)
Comment 5 athompson 2008-02-13 18:33:16 UTC 
yup. so i should reopen because this bug is about the link no long being there...
Comment 6 pgebauer 2012-11-09 12:38:33 UTC 
Is it still a valid issue? If so, please provide steps to reproduce.
Comment 7 athompson 2012-11-10 01:27:00 UTC 
Yep.  Go to the daily builds page.  Many years ago there was a link you could click on that would take you to the list of bugs that were addressed between this build and the previous one.  What I wrote in the description still applies.
