Allows you to see a detailed history of exactly what has been changed in any post and optionally rollback (undo) to a previous edit. Uses a word based difference algorithm to minimize storage requirements instead of saving the entire previous post on each edit (ie. changing one word only uses a few bytes).

Version 0.0.1 is intended as a public beta test for the adventurous. Please report any errors or incompatibilities.
I originally developed this for the Wiki-Post plugin to allow changes to be visualized/undone but then I realized it could be an interesting plugin for any post, especially if you allow long edit times. If you want to be sneaky, you can set the History button to only appear for moderators or even just administrators and see who is changing what.
Note that if there are 1000 posts made and only a handful of re-edits, this plugin barely takes up any database space at all.
You can see a demo on the Wiki-Post here (or make a post and edit anywhere on bbShowcase):

(you have to be logged in to see the History button)The undo/rollback feature doesn't exist yet (need some time for other projects) but if you start using this it will keep track so you can take advantage of the ability later.

Hi _ck_ was just wondering if you had done anymore to this plugin? I was thinking of trying to finish it if you hadn't done anything to it.

What features were you looking for?
Only thing that is left is to allow a user to select an old edit as the new master. Hasn't been a priority because you are essentially the first feedback and donations have been virtually non-existent.Posted: 1 year ago # -
I'd like to see some of this functionality added to the bbPress Moderation Suite as a way of tracking what edits and deletes a moderator might be making.

You can already do that by simply installing the plugin.

I'm split new to bbpress.
This plugin seems to work fine and I deem it useful.Thank you _ck_ for your effort!

This is a good plugin but I would like to suggest a feature: to be able to output the last edit time and user and total number of edits under each post that has ever been edited. I mean in the normal topic view and to be visible to everyone (like the Wiki post plugin does). I suppose it's not hard to implement since the plugin does track that data.

I love this plugin, but is there a way to show the exact date instead of something like "edited 2 months ago"
I know it has to do with this line:
<?php printf( __('Edited %s ago by %s'), bb_since($edit->time), $link); ?>And I know that this line shows the full date:
<?php printf( __('Posted %s'), bb_datetime_format_i18n( bb_get_post_time( array( 'format' => 'timestamp' ) ) ) ); ?>But what would be the best way to change that, so it shows the full date?
Something like "last edited 16 August, 2009 - 03:02 AMI don't really understand what this part is doing:
bb_since($edit->time), $link);Posted: 7 months ago # -
chandersbs, I've now made it so when you mouseover the "since" date you'll see the real date.
