#introduction time!

Hello! We're Review Board, an #opensource #CodeReview / #DocReview tool from @chipx86 (me!) and others at Beanbag.

https://reviewboard.org

We've been around since 2006. Our product's built to work with all kinds of workflows and SCMs (from #CVS to #Git to enterprise ones like #ClearCase, #CliosoftSOS). It's extensible like a browser.

We'll cover new releases for those interested, but also talk about development in general: #Python, #webdev, SCMs, #DiffX, code review, etc.

Continuing with #projects, let me talk for a minute about #diffx!

Did you know there's no standard file format for #diffs? No, seriously. I mean, there are Unified Diffs, but that just covers the actual line changes. There's nothing for metadata, no consistency for filename encodings, nothing. It's a mess.

So we're working to solve that with DiffX:

This provides #metadata, parsing rules, mutability, binary files.

All backwards-compatible with common diff variants.
