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.
