A region removed from the file will be colored red, an added region will be colored green. If a region was modified, the old version is displayed above the new version. Line numbers indicate the exact position of the change in both the old and the new version of the file. … … 38 41 39 42 In addition, various advanced options are available in the preferences form for adjusting the display of the diffs: 40 * You can set how many lines are displayed before and after every change; if the value ''all'' is used, then the full file will be shown. 41 * You can toggle whether blank lines, case changes and white space changes are ignored, thereby letting you find the functional changes more quickly. 43 * You can set how many lines are displayed before and after every change, or display the changes in the context of the full file. 44 * You can toggle whether blank lines, case changes and white space changes are ignored.

The full content of each file in the changeset can also be downloaded as a zip archive. 58 59 === Examining Differences Between Revisions 52 60 53 61 Often you want to look at changes made on a file or on a directory spanning multiple revisions. The easiest way to get there is from the TracRevisionLog, where you can select the ''old'' and the ''new'' revisions of the file or directory, and then click the ''View changes'' button. 54 62 55 === Examining Differences Between Branches ===63 === Examining Differences Between Branches 56 64 57 One of the core features of version control systems is the possibility to work simultaneously on different ''Lines of Developments'', commonly called “branches”. Trac enables you to examine the exact differences between such branches.65 One of the core features of version control systems is the possibility to work simultaneously on different ''Lines of Developments'', commonly called "branches".

The resulting set of differences consist of the changes that should be applied to the ''From:'' content to get to the ''To:'' content.67 Following the '''View changes ...''' button in the TracBrowser leads to the diff page, where you can enter ''From:'' and ''To:'' path/revision pairs. The resulting set of differences consist of the changes that should be applied to the ''From:'' content to get to the ''To:'' content. 60 68 61 69 For convenience, it is possible to invert the roles of the ''old'' and the ''new'' path/revision pairs by clicking the ''Reverse Diff'' link on the changeset page. 62 70 63 === Checking the Last Change ===71 === Checking the Last Change 64 72 65 73 Another way to examine changes is to use the ''Last Change'' link provided by the TracBrowser.
