Might be slightly off topic but since we are talking about build history. I was always confused by why the most important part of the page 'build history' is tucked into a corner instead of being ( literally) front and center. Paginating that small widget in the corner would be awkward at best. None of the information on the main page is of much significance if you are using git with many branches in a multiuser environment.
Here is a screenshot of revamped UI that I am working for dotci, that makes buildhistory the main focus of the page. http://i.imgur.com/qm8BqE8.png Surya On Friday, January 23, 2015 at 9:53:58 AM UTC-6, Tom Fennelly wrote: > > Hi. > > I'm interested in hearing how people would feel about a change to how the > BuildHistory widget handles build histories where there are 100s or 1000s > of builds.
