Changelog Greasemonkey Script

This is an oldie but a goodie, especially when bug fix counts are in the hundreds. The ExpressionEngine Change Log is a marvelous place for seeing how ExpressionEngine has improved over the versions, but something it’s lacking is a link to the original bug report when one is fixed.

Bjørn Børresen addresses that with his Greasemonkey script that will link fixed bugs, to their original bug report. Sometimes those one liners in the change log addressing the fix doesn’t provide enough context. Linking to the original report is a handy addition.

This has been around for a while, but it’s still useful and until recently, I was unaware it existed.
