It would be very nice if it supported version diffs ( like
viewcvs/cvsweb ) as i could then dump those slow
programs and use this 100%.

    More specific please.

    Define Visual Version Diffs.

    CVS Monitor currently displays diffs for a single version to the previous
    version. Do you mean to arbitrary versions?

    Sorry for the vauge-ness... I mean a side by side visual
    diff. ( like in viewcvs/cvsweb ) where you can see the full
    ( or partial ) file w/ color coded removed, changed, added
    markups. rather than in raw diff format.

    The original poster was obviously more interested in the
    visual rendering, but diffs between arbitrary versions are
    very handy.

    A potentially good interface for could be as follows:

    You currently have "v0.5.3 -> v0.5.4" in the header of
    cvsmonitor.pl?cmd=viewBrowseVersion

    If you put < and > controls around each of those numbers,
    you could browse by changing both the "from" and "to"
    revision #s. Alternately, 2 dropdowns would work as well.

    if you do 2 dropdowns, include both the revision # and the
    commit date in a dropdown - i'm frequently using ViewCVS to
    answer questions like "what's changed in the file over the
    last 2 months"
