Whenever something changes in the source code at work we get an email detailing the file changes.  This encourages a form of code review because it encourages others to check my changes.  I could always go to perforce to do this but that is not right in my face all the time.

Since the DMD frontend is open source I was thinking that it would be cool if the DMD changelog included a diff of the changed frontend files since the last one.  Users could click on a link and see what changes where made.  How this would look I don't know.  I don't even know how you'd set this up.  I know there's some tools out there that can spit out HTML diffs.

Also if you like this idea, what would be a practical way for Walter to set this up.

Well, phobos is already hosted on dsource, which provides built-in integration with the subversion repo, and will auto-generate pretty HTML diffs.  The FE source would just have to be added.

Part of FE sources already get their home @ dsource.org/projects/dparser/
