#51 Presentation of (many) RecentChanges

[Axel Boldt]

It would be nice if at the bottom of the RecentChanges
list, there were links to the previous RecentChanges,
similar to the bottom bar at a search result list.
Right now, if you want more RecentChanges, you have to
choose a bigger number and then find the spot up to
which you have already read.

This way, one could also get rid of the ridiculous 5000
changes, and one could drop the hidden and unintuitive
restrictions (5000 changes *of the last 3 days*; 90
days *but only up to 100 changes*). Right now, there is
no way (except for editing the URL) to get a complete
overview for the last week, say.

The time limit is important to keep because it speeds up the
query a lot. But I agree that there should be a way to get
offsets as well as limits. The current code makes this far
from trivial, because it's getting data from two tables and sort
of manually doing a union (which MySQL 3.23 doesn't do
yet). Maybe after MySQL 4.0 becomes stable for a while we'll
add this feature (along with the fancy searches).
