Description

Right now, when a new update is available the "Check for update" link will change to a "Show update" link. Clicking that takes you to a page that compares the latest sequence against the previous sequence. However, if several updates have come in all at once you'll miss some context because you'll only see the changes in the last update.

This "Show update" link should take you to a diff of the last update against the currently installed sequence so you can see all the changes that would be made by applying that update.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the code behind the "Show update" link and how it selects the previous and currently installed sequences; compare the existing diff entry point with the deployed version. Done means the link shows all changes between the installed sequence and the available update, including multiple intervening updates.
