It will show you all differences between the > twos. Actually... If you made a repository here: https://github.com/arcadehistory?tab=repositories JUST for the history.dat / history.xml... Not only would it be another way for people to download it (and submit changes, tho I am sure you don't desire that method?) ... but it would be an easy way to compare the changes with each new "commit" (release). However, I think we'd be talking about SO many changes (I haven't actually checked) that Github would probably not permit the resulting diff to be displayed. - Stiletto
