The 2016 edition of the ISM has been out of a solid month now and I have managed to transcribe the entire document in record time thanks to ASD releasing a PDF and an XML version of the document.

Since I published the new edition to my website over here I also needed to give the comparison tool a massive overhaul.

What's New?

1. Dropboxes allow you to select all avaliable releases of the ISM for the 'current' compared to the 'previous' edition
2. Summary boxes moved to the top of the table, giving a breakdown of Total, New, Updated, Unchanged, Deleted, and the total processed controls.
3. Cleaner table html and css for a much cleaner view, much better for copy/paste into word or whatever you need
4. Migrated to the ISMv3 Engine; parses the source-files much quicker with less overhead than ISMv2.

What's coming?

So the main site-engine is getting an overhaul, and I'm hoping to have all the comparison performed on the browser-side; which I hope will enable me to display not only the controls, but the topics. My hope is to have a diff-view rendered in the browser for granular indication on what text was changed between versions.
