History Data Structures

For stateful applications, there are 5 different ways of managing the history of state:

• No History - Living in the moment. - Examples: Any stateful application that doesn't discards all previous states upon mutation.
• Ad Hoc Snapshotting - Allows restoration to manually saved snapshots. - Examples: Memento Pattern.
• Singleton - Only remembers the previous snapshot, where undoing the undo is just another undo. - Examples: Xerox PARC Bravo.
• 1 Stack - Allows linear undo. - Examples: AtariWriter.
• 2 Stack - Allows linear undo and redo. - Examples: Browser History, Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop.
