This is strange. I've seen it on several machines now.<BR>
Clean installs. Old installs. IE6. IE8. Probably Firefox. Maybe IE7.<BR>
<BR>
Viewing diffs in cvsweb significantly regressed fairly resently.<BR>
The "preferred" view, while not really to my liking, at least did a half decent<BR>
attempt to show the data. Now however it doesn't show much at all.<BR>
In particular, the colors that were used to differentiate lines<BR>
are no longer used. As a result the "preferred" view is really worthless.<BR>
<BR>
Simple example:<BR>
<A href="http://dcvs.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/m3core/src/thread/PTHREAD/ThreadPThread.i3.diff?r1=1.31;r2=1.32">http://dcvs.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/m3core/src/thread/PTHREAD/ThreadPThread.i3.diff?r1=1.31;r2=1.32</A><BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I just use "unified" instead.<BR>
Which also isn't necessarily best.<BR>
What you really often want is "unified but with the full contents".<BR>
Or maybe "unified with infinite context".<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Maybe this is related to the color scheme change elsewhere on the website??<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
(Really I consider cvsweb just one of the great deficiencies of cvs.<BR>
Not only is the diff not well presented, but given a commit mail it<BR>
is incredibly laborious to track down the diff, both to find just one file<BR>
let alone all the files.)<BR>
