Changes since 2.0:
Version 2.1: this release features filename completion when adding files through
the menu
Version 2.2: fileselectors now shows the files sorted, has page up/down support
and actually works :-) Also the windows are now initially filled as much as poss
ible.
Version 2.3: field delimiters (for -cf) can be any size now (not just one charac
ter), statuslines are now optional, if a window closes, a popup-box is displayed
(can be switched off), fixed a small memory-leak, fixed a potential segfault, f
ixed a couple of (sp)lint-warnings, radically changed the errorhandling, some fi
xes to get thing work (again) on MacOS-X. WARNING: the installationlocation has
been changed to /usr/bin! So first do make uninstall on the previous release!
Version 2.4: --retry now also works on platforms where tail does not support --r
etry, MultiTail works again on Solaris, added merge-mode: all files are merged
into one window, made window-selection into a scrollable window, fixed compilat
ion-warnings, windows are filled as much as possible again on Solaris
multitail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
program. The difference is that this program creates multiple windows
on your console (with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying
the logfiles for faster recognizing which lines are important and which
are not. It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.
Note: I tried to make it NOT depend on ncurses and use the built-in
curses instead.
