How to identify changes to the book ?

We have two scripts in the root folder of the repo, that creates a What's changed markdown page, like this one.

The What's changed markdown generator scripts are called whatsChanged.sh and whatsChangedForAllLanguages.sh.

Please feel free to improve it, provided it continues to do what it currently does and more.
