There is now a per-repository configuration option under Setup/Timeline that lets you choose which timeline format you prefer. https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/ is currently configured so that when you click on the "Timeline" menu, you get https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?basic - the "basic" query parameter declutters the display as much as possible to be friendly to newbies. You can change this on your repos by searching for "/timeline?basic" in your "Header" configuration and omitting the query parameter. There is an undocumented query parameter on /timeline that lets you experiment with different formatting options without having to change the configuration. https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=1 https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=2 https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=3 https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=4 https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=5 https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?commentformat=12 The "basic" query parameter simply forced commentformat=5 and then disables a lot of the complex submenu controls, replacing them all with an "Advanced" button that turns "basic" off. Other values for commentformat=N are possible, but are reserved for future expansion. Thanks to everyone who contributed comments! All suggestions were useful, even those that I did not implement. It is important to have lots of ideas in circulation. One thing I learned from this exercise is that no two people want the timeline to look the same way. Consensus is not a possibility here. There is too much diversity of opinion. Therefore, I had to exercise my authority as the BDFL and pick one particular behavior for the canonical Fossil repo and to be the default. You are welcomed to pick a different behavior for your own repositories, since it is now configurable. -- D.
