Interface for showing changes in the history is not very discoverable

I agree. What about showing an arrow icon before the label and giving it a different cursor on hover (cursor: pointer)?

This could look something like this:

I used the unicode character "BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE" (▶, ▶) for this. It might be possible to add some JavaScript toggling it to a "BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE" (▼, ▼) when expanded.

So this is an artifact of me not testing across multiple browsers. In Chrome, the <summary> element (which the history type, username, and timestamp are contained in) automatically inserts an arrow for you, exactly as luap42 suggested. Looking now in Firefox, it doesn't.

I'll have a look at how possible it is to add an indicator just for Firefox (and any others that don't auto-insert one).
