It won't be a 1.8 feature unfortunately (though Edit Reason, a feature from the plugin, will be).
I use this plugin
sometimes it is better to use plugin than coded it in core

A plugin already exists for this, and hopefully the owner will update it to work with 1.8 when it gets released.

yes this plugin are useful for recovering some post that may be edited by user for destroying his past text on forum.
for database ADMIN can check log any week , delete logs after see they are normal
I will be using this plugin, because a lot of people tend to edit their posts by completely removing what they wrote.

I was unsure why this feature was lacking so FOR LONG from the core mybb product.
