Diff between two Thunderbird releases

Question

I discovered a bug in the newest stable release of Thunderbird. I reported it in Bugzilla, but nobody seems to investigate it. So I want to do such investigation myself.

I know the bug was not there in the previous version, which I think is TB 17.0.6 or so. And the bug appeared in version 24 (they changed the way of numbering, so these are really two consecutive versions).

Where can I get something like a diff between those versions? I'd prefer not to download the whole HG repo and do the diff myself. Is there an online service from Mozilla to do that?

I tried to start in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=7970552&resolution=FIXED&query_format=advanced&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=CLOSED&product=Thunderbird&target_milestone=Thunderbird%2024.0 . But it seems a great waste of time to me to browse all the fixed bugs and view their patches...

Answer 1

There's no online service for that. Even if you generate such a diff locally it's not something you could realistically read through as it would be absolutely huge, especially as there were a lot of tree-wide automatic changes to make the code more modern.
