Summary0006841: show number of new errors rather than total number of errors
DescriptionIt would be much more convenient if cdash could report the number of newly introduced failures. When I check in code, I want to know how many errors my code probably introduced. To do that I look at number of errors and manually compare it against the last test result for that machine. If the number is the same I assume my change didn't cause any problem, which is usually but not always the case.

We could have +/- notation to show the number of new test failures or resolved test failures compared with last test result for that machine.

Do you need this feature on the main dashboard page or on each build page? There might be a speed issue if we implement on the main dashboard page, but we can always store everything in the new table.

I was thinking of the continuous and nightly dashboard sections of the main page for each project. Continuous submissions (other than first submission for day) would compare against the previous posting from that machine to calculate the differential, nightly would compare against yesterday's nightly posting from the same machine.
