nice, this gets my vote :-)
having not seen the screenshots i would have not agreed (feeling it was a 
copy of jira) but the screenshots show how it displays the changes in the 
visual format any scarab user is already familiar with.

One thing not dealt with as far as i can see is long-text attributes. It 
must be difficult to fit them (when they have changed) side by side in 
two columns.
will you just wrap them to half the width? Or will the history tab just 
blow out in width in such situations?
