Just testing this out (thanks!) and noticed that some of the URLs provided for compare are truncated. Eg:
| drupal/entity_reference_revisions | 1.7.0 | 1.8.0 | https://git.drupalcode.org/project/entity_reference_revisions/compare/8.x-1.7...8.x-1.8 |
| drupal/fast_404 | 1.0.0-alpha4 | 1.0.0-alpha5 | https://git.drupalcode.org/project/fast_404/compare/8.x-1.0.0-alph...8.x-1.0.0-alph |
| drupal/page_manager | 4.0.0-beta4 | 4.0.0-beta5 | https://git.drupalcode.org/project/page_manager/compare/8.x-4.0.0-bet...8.x-4.0.0-bet |
| drupal/views_data_export | 1.0.0-beta4 | 1.0.0-rc1 | https://git.drupalcode.org/project/views_data_export/compare/8.x-1.0.0-bet...8.x-1.0.0-r |
(I've intentionally excerpted to show a single correct URL and some that are not working links.)
These output URLs do not provide comparison views correctly, while most do:
In worst case this might result in deceptive output (eg diff vs -beta1 links to -beta, or diff vs -beta11 links to -beta1).
tput cols returns 236; these are not shortened due to limitations of the console AFAICT. See screenshot below.
