v0.53.0

Compare this document with an earlier version of it

Compare with a file, on the Read tab, asks for another version and reads
what changed between it and the one on the screen: pages added or dropped,
words, pictures and comments. On
ops v0.37.0's
ops.Compare.

It is a reading, like the text and the grids — it replaces the picture of
the page, and pressing the verb again puts the page back.

⛔ The direction is said out loud, in the report. A comparison has two
documents in it, and a reader who has the order backwards reads every addition
as a deletion. The file chosen is the earlier version, the document open is
the later one, and the heading says "the left page is draft1.pdf; the right
page is this document" rather than leaving it to be worked out from the page
numbers.

⛔ Any change to the document drops the report. It names pages and
differences; after a page is dropped it names pages that are not there, while
looking exactly as authoritative as it did a second earlier.

What it compares is what Save would write: a form that has been filled in
is saved as the file it came from with the answers appended, and those are not
the same bytes as the rebuilt document.
