Separate but related is the [[Annotations]] service which can store arbitrary information about a page for extension developers.
=== New capabilities ===
The current history system uses the annoying Mork database format, and is impossible to find and difficult to use. Most people don't use it at all, and when they do, it can be difficult to find what you are looking for.
The new history system will hopefully fulfill the following goals:
* Store much more history than the current default (9 days) and do so with minimal performance penalty.
* Be faster and more efficient.
* Have a better UI that people will want to use, and that allows them to find what they are looking for. The current history sidebar is too cramped and does not offer enough capabilities.
=== Database design ===
