The diff display is still there (just press "Diff" button), the web browser
link for diffs are on the other window (which I didn't change since 0.2.4)... :

The "diff display" is a printout of "fossil diff". Do you see any difference?
Could you please post a screenshot?
However, in future I think I will use a third party diff viewer. I don't
really want to reinvent the wheel.

You're welcome!
I've posted a screenshot here:
As you can see, the space below the menu ribbon is empty. Behind the two
windows is Firefox showing me the diff.

I usually use the diff that comes with MinGW/MSYS instead. Gives out
better patch files, especially when I have to "shelve" what I'm doing
temporarily.

Yes I did. That's why it opened up Firefox, to show me the diff.

It's the GNU diff. I don't remember why I didn't just say it outright,
but it's the GNU diff ported for Windows.

I "shelve" something I'm currently working on when I know it's not yet
ready for committing, so it won't be lost when I do something else,
e.g., pull in changes from another repo.
Git and Bzr have this functionality built in, IIRC, and Hg has an
extension for it.
Got it, thanks.

I suppose it is, except that Git defines it explicitly, compared to Hg &
Bzr.
