"Insights -> Network" will show branching overview where you can 
clearly observe what changes were made on each fork

DlangUI is somewhat primitive but I like it that way, one can 
quickly hack up pretty much any widget (including graphics) 
without too much hassle, just subclass suitable widget for the 
base, override few methods and start hacking.

Of course I would like it to be real MVVM with view/data 
separation, visual/logical hierarchy separation, data bindings, 
UI automation and stuff. Maybe I'll fork it one day to make it 
that way, but at this moment I already have too much stuff to do.
