| Priority | High |
| Description | Improve to show more detail and offer more options. |
The Recent Changes macro (which is used on the front page of Confluence) is a fairly simplistic view of what's been going on in Confluence. We would like to improve it to be more usable and convey more information.
Show more data:
We should show the following columns of data about each change:
- Title
- Change Comment
- % changed, or +/- lines
- User
- Date of change
- Version of page
New Features
- Allow the page author to filter by user
- Allow page author to specific which columns to show
- Allow page author to specify how many changes to retrive
- Allow page author to show all changes in last X days
- Add a direct link to the equivilant RSS feed at the top of the list
- Add "Fetch more" link that retrieves another set of X changes forever.

Also the ability to display a high density version without icons etc
