Scripts for performing image diffs between pcbnew layout revisions
Scripts for performing image diffs between pcbnew layout revisions. Extended to show the graphical diff in a webpage.
Based on the initial scripts of spuder and described in https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/electronics/tree/master/scripts
The workflow describes how to use a git repository for Kicad printed circuit board board versions. Kicad uses text files for all Whilst it is easy enough to compare a dif between two boards, relying on looking at a text file to determine what has changed is unrewarding.
Additionally, Spuders workflow relied on git - and I rather prefer Fossil-scm as it is a more complete solution (has a wiki and bugtracker built in) and is a small memory footprint.

Additionally, spuder's workflow relied on a python script that was downloaded to a /tmp directory. This makes the solution unreliable without internet access.
I have added a web interface to the project. It is functional but needs some beautification.
