Our current way of selectin diffs with (cur) and (last) is quite confusing and restrictive. Often when listing a page's history, I see a group of edits from a single user and would like to check the net effect of that group of edits, but the software doesn't let me do this.
Here's a proposal for an improvement: on the page's history, (cur) and (last) are junked. Instead, every listed version has two checkboxes in front of it. To get the diff from version x to version y, you check the first box in front of x and the second box in front of y, then click on the diff button.
Only one button can be checked per column. When initially viewing a page history, the buttons for the two most recent versions are already checked, so that hitting the diff button immediately will show the effect of the last edit.
