We need to copy a report example (e.g. the one created in test suite) to a publicly available place. I only have acces to the browsers mentioned above (Forefox2 on Fedora and Firefox 3.5 on Tiger, XP, Vista, and Fedora). ​Recent statistics tells that the other big players are Opera and Chrome. But I will not install them just for the sake of testing...

I've made the report from test suite available at ​http://cbbp.thep.lu.se/~peter/svndigest/toy_project/

iPhone and Safari on 64-bit Snowleopard shows only top left corner of the plot.

Fails with Safari 4 on OSX 10.4.11 as well. Updated light test output to r956

I tested test svg pages available on the net. There seems to be an issue with Safari and svg. In some scales svg looks ok, in others the svg display is corrupt. I tested to add height and width to the html and it looked good in some display scale (i.e., cmd+ and cmd- for font changes will also rescale the svg). I think this is an Safari/svg issue, Safari does not claim to fully support svg, nor does many other browser. I suppose this is not an issue for this release since we'll go with png I guess. Until the major browser support compressed svgs the svg files generated by svndigest is simply too large.
