Description Nicolas Bros CLA 2011-05-10 06:08:16 EDT 
In the installation dialog (org.eclipse.ui.internal.about.InstallationDialog), in the "Installation History" tab, I can see a list of previous configurations, and when I click on a configuration, I see all IUs in this configuration.

But there is no easy way to see what changed from a configuration to the next.
I propose to highlight new elements in a configuration (compared to the one before it), for example by making them bold.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
