Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 changes

  * set initial view to display passed revision id. now when you click to
 view a revision in the list, that revision displays
  * set maximum step width; now when there few revisions slider bar is
 smaller size;
  * remove cancel button, exctraneous
  * new backbone view for tickmarks, ticks inside slider bar
  * tickmarks indicate revision load state while loading (currently spinner
 background on 1 line, but open to suggestions)
  * tickmark width & color based on scope of changes, initial pass, five
 weights (noted issue with wider ticks appearing left of centered)
  * move compare two checkbox to upper right
  * removed 'comparing x of y' language above slider
  * reversed direction of revision view - oldest on left, newest on right
  * html cleanup in revision.php
  * move restore button next to compare from meta, change language to
 'Resore this Revision'
  * retain compare position when switching modes (bug fix)
  * changed slider dragger to blue triangle from mock up; used base64
 encoded image, think thats best but request suggestions
  * turn viewing autosaves on by default
  * started work on tooltips but didn't get that far, need help! trying to
 have tooltips that work like these:
 http://www.filamentgroup.com/examples/slider_v2/index3.php - slider is low
 to accomidate tooltips; maybe add revision change lines added/deleted
 info;not convinced we need them, clunky, same info as below

  * misc bug fixes
  * add check for latest revision matches post data (new methodology in
 #16215)
  * currently counting lines changed, is this useful or should it be words
 changed
  * currently hard coded thresholds determine scope_of_changes calculation,
 should be scaled to range of values in all revisions

  * up next, change compare method to compare to previous
