Looks pretty cool. One small suggestion for the UI: Adding separate
columns for object/struct changes would be good. Atm it's harder to
find these, and e.g. libdrm has a releases with 100% abi compat
rating, but still yellow box. The yellow box is because we extended
some structs - direct links to those sections would be nice too.

Cheers, Daniel
