HTML diffs and images

How come the most recent change in https://forum.bors.tech/t/adding-new-reviewers-to-a-repository/73 shows the images as being changed, when the raw diff shows that they aren’t being changed?



I think this is a technically hard problem to deal with, and the benefits are so minor (arguably cosmetic only) that we’re loathe to burn a week of engineering time on it. cc @zogstrip – this also might be a dupe topic.

As far as the why it’s to do with how the post was baked for version 2 - back in 2017/11 the baking code put in:

for the LHS and the new version does:

for the RHS.

It could be that e.g. SSL was forced in between those two dates.

Yeah, I think that is what happened. Thanks for the info!

Sorry, not sure I want to keep this open, we are unlikely to make any changes here and there was … technically… a legitimate change with the image.

Image diff would be a warmcan of a feature request.
