Description Olli-Antti Kivilahti 2016-03-07 12:00:45 UTC
Currently there is no tool to diff differences or changes between biblios or their different versions.
This is most useful for logging who changed and what.

This feature introduces a biblio diffing module, which takes an arbitrary amount of MARC::Records and produces a complex data structure about all the identified changes.

Should this be "Needs signoff"? Could you add a test plan?

Improvements to cataloging logging to clearly show the difference between the before and after situation would be great. In 21.11 there is still the BEFORE Info presented after the edit is made to a biblio. To see the AFTER situation I think the only way is to edit the record a second time and be offered a second BEFORE (which becomes the AFTER situation to the first edit, if that makes any sense to the reader!). A before and after view with changes highlighted similar to what is offered with an overlay would be a delight.
