Comparisons in CVS

Often developers have to view what changes have been made to a file and in which revision. Application Developer provides a mechanism to graphically display two revisions of a file and their differences. Two types of comparison are possible, users can compare the version in their workspace with any version in the CVS repository, or any two files in the CVS repository can be compared with each other.

The History view provides these mechanisms and the following scenario has an example of how to do this.
