#229: Email change updates should show diffs, not full text
--------------------------+---------------------------------
  Reporter:  jdreimann    |      Owner:  nobody
      Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
  Priority:  major        |  Milestone:
 Component:  plugins      |    Version:
Resolution:               |   Keywords:  email notifications
--------------------------+---------------------------------
Changes (by jdreimann):

 * keywords:   => email notifications


Old description:

> ,, ... via ''Bloodhound'' quick create ticket dialog,,

New description:

 Currently these emails show the full text before the change, and the full
 text after the change.
 As an example,
 [https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/115?action=diff&version=2
 this change] triggered [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox
 /incubator-bloodhound-
 commits/201210.mbox/%3C070.12e315d1fb01dea5055b33eda063802b%40incubator.apache.org%3E
 this email]. My suggestion is that the email should contain only the diff
 information.

I don't think that we need a quick decision on this. Unless anyone can 
point it out as folly, I am still very much in favour of the full text 
diff.

Cheers,

I read the same and assumed you knew more than the ticket stated.

Anyway, I've got no issue with pulling ahead of them.

On second look, they may not have improved this at all. I read that ticket
very quickly and assumed that Status: Resolved, Resolution: Answered meant
that there was a fix. However, near the bottom of the ticket, they state: "We
are not currently looking at making improvements in this area in the near
future."

I don't feel that strongly about my stated preference. I see either (or
any) approach as being better than what is done now, which for a long time
I've found to be an undesirable feature of Trac notifications.

On a related note, I'm trying to get development ramped back up on
AnnouncerPlugin, with the hope that it will be a viable alternative to the
core Trac notification system in the near future. It needs a few major
fixes at the moment for Trac 0.12+ issues.

I was actually thinking in first place of replacing old desc with diff
and keeping new desc . The same actually for custom text fields .

I like the approach of showing the full text with the diff embedded.

Two items of interest
 * JIRA didn't seem to be doing any better than this until very recently:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-25667
 * I would have expected the AnnouncerPlugin to do a better job at this
since it formats messages in HTML, but it only seems to present a plain
text diff with a limited number of surrounding lines (
https://trac-hacks.org/ticket/10485).

Well, you could choose to show a diff with the full text shown. Not 
quite the same thing as the clean text of course..

+1 for the diff, but not sure we should completely remove the clean text
also.

It's really hard to figure out what part of description and other text
fields changed .
