comparision between django model version control packages

Question

I need to implement Django model history version & compare view.

I found there are packages like django-reversion, django-simple-history, django-revisions to implement model history version and django-reversion-compare for compare view. My requirement focuses mainly on implementing version history & compare view outside admin.

Can someone share the feedback on these packages? I found few references like http://treyhunner.com/2011/09/django-and-model-history/, but it's still not clear to me. I am interested to know the ease & limitations of implementing these packages.

Answer 1

You need django-reversion + django-reversion-compare. I have been using django-reversion for at least 5 years and django-reversion-compare is just an add-on for django-reversion, which makes it possible to compare different revisions of the same object/record.
