This is a minor change that not many people would notice, and it has not actually happend. But fine, let's count it as one. > Colorized diffs.

That's all you could list for *four* years? None of that would even be noticed by most of our users, maybe push.default (when it actually happens), but that's *one*. *One* important change in *four* years. That's demonstration that change just does not happen. And if you disagree, then we'll agree to disagree. -- Felipe Contreras
