A colleage discovered it, I'm not sure if by accident or intentionally,
when I sent him a link to the timeline page in the Fossil website.

Then I checked the release notes because it wasn't working with my
build.

For the particular case of the selective timeline diffs I guess it would
help adding the following CSS to the commit nodes/boxes:

    cursor: pointer

That way people would get a hint that the box is clickable.

For other features, I guess there should be more mentions to the release
notes.  Other projects do that.

Cheers.
