This one got me pretty good… We’ve been heavy at work with a rather large Sitecore solution when, from nowhere, the Diff tool started showing weird version numbers in the select lists. And by weird, I don’t mean like “Version…
[updated 2014-11-09] According to reports and comments, this module is not compatible with Sitecore 7.2 (and up). The code is available on Github for anyone to grab a copy and fix the problem. If you do, please be kind and…
