I stand to be corrected, but daily diffs are being generated, such that the green highlighted text is new since the prior version and the pink/strikethrough text is a deletion since the prior version.

Same as in some code diff tools:  green is generally addition, red (and here
also crossed-out) removal. The white text is text that was already there.

FWIW I read the same page via an RSS reader; in that case the formatting is a
bit more consistent (no local css file) and the colours are removed.
