The patch reader software has now been installed.
When you see a patch as an attachment on bugzilla you want to look at, use
the "diff" link next to it, instead of the regular link.
This will bring up a nicely colored version of the patch.
Using the links at the top, you can interdiff two patches on a
given bug, and change the context for the patch (if it was taken
from a cvs diff).
For example, if you click file, it will get the file from cvs, and display
the patch with the complete file as context (ie highlight the changed
parts of the file), using the proper revision and everything.
The only caveat is that this works only on unified diffs. It won't display
anything on context diffs.
So please use unified diff format if you attach patches to bugzilla.
Bug 18190 is a good example of using the features, because it has two
patches on it you can play with (interdiff between them, change the
context, etc)
