Feature Proposal:
Motivation
HistoryPlugin provides a minimum functionality of what people expect these days. It is very much like the
MediaWiki interface, for better or worse.
Description and Documentation
Examples
Impact
Implementation
merely update the
Foswiki distribution's MANIFEST file and add the following line:
!include ../HistoryPlugin/lib/Foswiki/Plugin/HistoryPlugin
during the development of 1.1, the
HistoryPlugin could be further enhanced; those enhancements should be handled in subsequent
RequestProposals and task items.

Discussion
It would be better to bring this functionality into the RDiff code, instead of duplicating things and increasing the codebase we have to maintain.
It also seems to me to be important to analyse the actual benefits of the code and to consider what we can do better (as the core has full access to things)

Same comment as I have on
CompareRevisionsAddOn.
As long as I do not see some commitment to start implementing this in core, we should put this extension in 1.1.
We can always remove it again when the feature is in core.

Make them default plugins, I installed them on our system around a week ago and this seems to be standard functionality. There wasn't anything additional I had to install as the stuff for dependencies was already available on my installation.

Please do ship
HistoryPlugin as part of the standard distribution.

As an additional note - as the current maintainer of
HistoryPlugin I give my permission to change the change policy to
FollowReleaseProcess. This is required for all extensions that become default extensions to protect both our users and the original authors.
Sven, again, given the condition and promise that we merge the feature of
HistoryPlugin into core in 2.0 - are you OK to lift your concern? That would save the community a vote

done, and commited to trunk
presumably Will will be doing some docco work, and adding unit tests.
