22.06

This release brings many new features, performance and usability improvements.

New features

• Regular expression engine is switched to Hyperscan. This is several times faster than Qt regular expressions. Hyperscan pattern syntax is less expressive, and klogg will automatically switch to Qt engine if needed. Moreover, klogg now allows combining regular expressions with boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT). Hyperscan requires CPU with SSSE3 support. If CPU doesn't have these instructions, then Klogg will switch to Qt regular expression engine.
• Highlighters configuration has been reworked. Now it is possible to:
  • create several sets of highlighters and apply any number of them to current file
  • assign some text a color label (up to 9 different colors)
  • add variation to slightly change highlight color for a pattern based on actual matching text
  • use alpha-channel for highlight colors
• Keyboard shortcuts are now configurable via a special configuration dialog
• There is a predefined filters dialog. It allows creating sets of filters and quickly add them to search expression
• The limit of number of lines in the log file has been removed. It is now limited by available RAM and CPU resources. The single line length is still limited to around 2^30, this is limitation of QString in Qt5.
• Context menu for selected text now has more useful actions (replace search, add to scratchpad, etc.)
• Search history is now editable and includes more items

Bug fixes

• Crash reports from many users helped to fix issues with putting too much data to clipboard, data races with multiple instances of klogg and multiple windows.
• A fast file modification detection mode helps to improve performance in case when a large file is opened in follow file mode
• Dark mode is simplified and looks more solid
• Klogg no longer hangs in cases when large amount of data is rapidly added to a file
• Files with utf16 little and big endian are now displayed properly
• Klogg no longer leaks memory if file in follow mode is left open for days

Internal code structure has been improved to improve memory allocation and multithreading performance. Klogg uses less external dependencies. Build system now allows using more external dependencies from host build system.

System requirements

Klogg requires CPU with at least SSE2 instruction set. For best performance CPU should have SSSE3 and POPCNT instructions.
Supported operating systems: Window 7+, Mac OS 10.14+, Ubuntu LTS 18.04+, Oracle Linux 8+

Precompiled binaries

• Windows x86 and x64, based on Qt 5.15.2, both installer and portable versions, now signed with valid codesign certificate
• Linux x64 DEB packages for Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 and 22.04 as well as RPM package built on Oracle Linux 8
• Linux x64 AppImage package
• Mac x64 dmg image and pkg installer, based on Qt 5.15.2, for Intel CPUs
• Experimental packages for Windows built with Qt 6.2.4, requires Windows 10+.
• Experimental packages for Mac built with Qt 6.2.4, requires Mac OS 10.15+, for Intel CPUs

An archive with snapshot of klogg dependencies is provided so the build can be reproduced.

Known issues

• On some Windows 11 systems klogg crashes when trying to show an open file dialog (#484). This is due to an incompatibility between Intel TBB memory allocator and some Windows libraries. In this case setting environmental variable TBB_MALLOC_DISABLE_REPLACEMENT to 1 disables TBB memory allocator, and klogg works as expected.
• For high dpi displays consider trying klogg build with Qt6. Although these builds are less tested, Qt6 behaves better in high dpi environment (#485).
• On some systems with Qt 5.9.5 some keyboard shortcuts do not work (#496). Appimage build can be used as a workaround.

Release updates

• The "report issue" link in menu was broken in build 22.06.0.1288 (#486). Binaries have been updated to 22.06.0.1289 to fix it.

Big thanks for everyone who provided feedback and feature requests!

20.12

This release has several major new features.

First of all highlighters have been reworked. Now it is possible to create several
sets of highlighting rules and choose active set to apply at the moment. Highlight rules
has become more flexible. It is possible to colorize only matching part of line (with
support for regex capture groups if present). And finally, highlighters configuration can be
exported to a file and shared with collaborators.

Another big feature is support for different window styles. Klogg can be configured to use
one of the default styles provided by Qt or use a separate dark theme base on QDarkStyleSheet. If default styles are used then Klogg will adjust its palette
to current OS theme.

This release also introduces new error reporting features to help with bugfix. Using service
and SDK provided by Sentry Klogg will now collect minidumps when
something crashes and send them to developers after asking user to review crash report. More
about this is covert in crash reporting.

DMG packages for Mac are now properly signed to make Gatekeeper happy.

Bugixes and minor improvements:

• Fixed RPM and DEB packaging
• Fixed bug with case-insensitive search autocomplete
• Fixed excessive reloading when follow mode is enabled
• Fixed crash due to race condition when saving selection to file
• Made some shortcut behavior more user-friendly
• Use DejaVu fonts by default
• Updated 3rdparty libraries

Precompiled binaries are provided for Windows (x86 and x64, based on Qt 5.15.2), Linux (x64 only, based on Qt 5.9.5) and Mac OS X (x64 only, based on Qt 5.15.2)

Big thanks for everyone who provided feedback and feature requests!

Known issues

• Using gtk2 style from qt5-style-plugins causes crashes on Ubuntu, so qtk2 style has been removed from klogg. As a workaround adwaita-qt package and Adwaita style can be used to make klogg look more native in gtk3 environment (see #233)
• In some Ubuntu installations Dark style might crash if qt5-style-plugins package is not installed (see #233)

Release binaries have been updated 20.12.0.813 to reduce impact from mentioned issues.

20.4

This release has been delayed for several months and has some important changes and new features.

Firstly, klogg on MacOS is once again usable. Thanks for all users who reported problems:

• MacOS dmg has more user friendly UI.
• Fixed bug with saving user configuration.
• Fixed bug with opening log files with klogg from Finder.
• Fixed some UI rendering issues.

Major new features:

• Scratchpad window. This window is used to do some text transformations that are sometimes needed during log analysis, like base64-decoding, xml/json formatting etc.
• Open archives. Klogg can now open zip/gzip/bzip2/xz/7z arhives. Files are extracted to temp directory.
• Open files from network url. Klogg will download file to temp directory.
• Multi-window mode. Allows to open several klogg windows. Still experimental feature.
• Menu options to create bug reports and feature requests on github in one click from application.

Several usability improvements for all versions:

• New encoding menu layout.
• New favorites menu to save files that are opened not frequently enough to stay in recent files history
• More options for tabs (opening file location, copying file path to clipboard, tab renaming).
• Autocomplete for search regexp.
• Option to mark several lines at once.
• Fixes for shortcuts.
• Some icon changes.
• More command line options.

As usual 3rdparty libraries were updated, some bugs were fixed, and some more were introduced.

Precompiled binaries are provided for Windows (x86 and x64, based on Qt 5.14), Linux (x64 only, based on Qt 5.9) and Mac OS X (x64 only, based on Qt 5.14)

19.9

The main focus of this release was fixing bugs with reading changing files.
There were some usabiltiy improvements, UI became more responsive
and a few minor features sneaked in. And we have new icon (thanks wiz0u)!

Configuration file is now split in two parts:

• user settings (they can be changed through UI and klogg does not edit them)
• application settings (history of opened files, search patterns, etc.,
  these are changed automatically by klogg)

This release has following changes:

• fixes for reindexing files that are changing on disk
• autorefresh of search results
• quickfind searching on separate thread (avoiding ui freezes)
• usabiltiy improvements (tab closing options, search bar layout)
• option to paste data from clipboard and do usual searching (data is saved to temporary file)
• abitlity to open several files from 'Open file' dialog
• 3rdparty libraries updates

Precompiled binaries are provided for Windows (x86 and x64, based on Qt 5.12), Linux (x64 only, based on Qt 5.9) and Mac OS X (x64 only, based on Qt 5.13)
