"All Changes" page needs to be reworked

Some suggestions for improving the interface of the "All changes" page. When I look at the long list of changes for any person, I get lost in trying to interpret the sequence of changes for the person. To simplify the interface, I would suggest something like this -- columns for "type", "old value", "new value", "date", "changed by". All information should be on only ONE compact horizontal line, making it easier to see more on the screen at once, and scan down the list. Multiple lines per item makes it harder to interpret and understand the changes over time. Then for any item, you could click it to get more details if there's more that doesn't fit on that one line.

It would also help if its possible for a related source to be included. For example, if a new child or new parents are attached, the when looking at the change in the list, the main question is "what is the source for that change?" That's not easily found in the current setup.

Thank you.

    Sounds like some good ideas. In the meantime, since such improvements take a long time, I would ask if you are making good use of the filters? Often those are the only way I can make sense of things by looking at just one data item, such as name, at a time to see the changes just to that item
