Compare the two Editions and return a set of differences. The differences will be broken down into three parts.

• Additions made between the start and the end.
• Deletions made between the start and the end.
• Updates made between the start and the end.

The differences will be returned in such a fashion that if you were to call getEdition(start), then apply the changes returned in EditionDelta, the result should be the same as calling getEdition(end). All deltas are calculated based upon the DocumentId of the Nodes as they exist(ed) in workspace at the point in which the Editions were created.

The Edition specified as start must have bee created prior to end Edition.

Parameters:

start - the Edition that is to be used as the starting point of the comparison

end - the Edition that is to be used as the ending point of the comparison

Returns:

object that contains the changes between the starting Edition and the ending Edition

Throws:

EditionException - is any error occurs comparing the Editions

AuthorizationException - if the user does not have Editor access to the WCM repository
