[TYPO3-dev] Finding Updates in Manuals

[Stefan Geith]

Hi Devs,

maybe some of you have the same problem with updated manuals:
I get a new manual for an updated plugin (or eg. a new TSref) and want 
to know, where I find the changes since the last version I know ...

So a question to the OpenOffice-Gurus:
Is there a OpenOffice-Feature, that helps with this issue ?
In OpenOffice, I find
   - "Änderungen aufzeichnen" (= Record changes ?)
   - "Versionsverwaltung" (= Versioning ?)
Could this be an option to let users see the changes from version to 
version in a doc/manual.sxw ?
Or is this impossible in SXW-Format ?

If there is no solution with OpenOffice, is/could be there an offical 
recommended way to mark/list changes in manuals ?

Maybe an Appendix 'Changes in Version XX' with a linked list to the 
changes in the manual ? The section 'Changelog' mostly contains comments 
about changes code yet, but not about changes in the manual :(

Maybe a column at the side of each page with Versionnumbers 'Implemented 
in Version x.y'?

Especially for big manuals like TSref, CoreApi etc. it would be a 
_great_ feature to find (or better highlight) the changes form e.g. 4.1. 
to 4.2. ;)

What do you think ?
