#24Should be able to access changes without JavaScript

I don't understand why JavaScript is required (without indication) to access changesets -- I don't think it should be. I just see a spinning "Fetching patch details..." with NoScript on, and obviously nothing with Lynx.

  • Ah. This is a workaround to make the page more responsive when patch rendering is slow. (And to reduce the load from crawlers.) Something Should Be Done.

  • For what it's worth, I don't see problems with crawlers over Trac, using a suitable robots.txt. It probably isn't feasible to use robots.txt, but presumably <meta name="robots"> would also work. (Trac uses that in some places, though probably not enough.)
