Hi,
Now that we have the history files and a history renderer in the
making [1] it would be possible to create a Before / After service:
user would select one or a few concurrent changesets comprising an
edit session, and the service would churn out a pretty HTML page with
a static map of the area just prior to the changesets affecting the
area and just after the last ones were closed.
I was just wondering how difficult / feasible this would be to
implement. Do we even need Peter's renderer for it?
You could use the database and the valid_from / valid_to processing used
in the views to get the before/after state and do whatever you want (ie
compare version & minor version to find affected items).
Just use this clause in your where-statement to get all items at this
point in time:
'2010-01-01' BETWEEN valid_from AND COALESCE(valid_to, '9999-12-31')
Take a look at render.py to see how it's used.
