Hi Hackers!
Don't panic, this patch is for AFTER 1.5 release. ;-)
0001-Bring-React-into-the-codebase.patch is an infrastructural change. This patch brings in the React.js library and all of the tools that are needed for us to use React code in this project. It includes a webpack bundler to package and minify our javascript, a js linter to help keep the javascript code clean, and the Grunt taskrunner to manage these tasks.
0002-Creates-query-history-list.patch replaces the existing history tab with a React-based history component. The current patch brings us to feature-parity with the current application. However, we plan on continuing work on the History tab as we discussed. This is the smallest digestible chunk of work that we could send as a committable patch after 1.5 is cut.
Next Steps for History Tab
We are continuing to improve the user experience of the history tab. We have a series of stories lined up that lead us towards a further redesigned history tab. As we add the right hand panel and each query metadata item to it, we will be removing each query metadata item from the list view accordingly.
Here is the design from one of the later stories:
