var TextHistory = require('text-history');
var history = new TextHistory();
var id1 = history.addVersion('document version 1');
var id2 = history.addVersion('document version 2');
console.assert(history.getVersion(id1) === 'document version 1');
console.assert(history.getVersion(id2) === 'document version 2');
var patches = history.getPatches(id1);
// diff_match_patch is a different module
console.assert(diff_match_patch.patch_apply(patches, 'document version 1')[0] === 'document version 2');Construct a new TextHistory object.
