Releases – LogSaw Project

1.0.3 out now!

philippn — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:54:20 +0000

Because of a rather nasty bug, here comes another update! Changes in this release: Fixed NullPointerException when synchronizing log resources that have no timestamp field (ID: 3485287). Please note: In such a case, the log resource is now automatically truncated before each synchronize to avoid duplicates. The auto-truncate will also be performed in case a … Continue reading

1.0.2 is here!

philippn — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:38:59 +0000

The long overdue release 1.0.2 is out now! It brings some bugfixes and improvements, most notably:
– When adding a new log resource, patterns are remembered and can be re-used (use CTRL+Space in the pattern text field)
– New JBoss 7 log dialect
– Fixed bugs when pattern did not contain timestamp
– Updated Eclipse runtime to 3.7 and Lucene to 3.5

As usual, you can get it from SourceForge.net or via the built-in update function.

1.0.1 out now!

philippn — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 11:03:51 +0000

Hot on the heels of 1.0.0 comes the first bugfix release. It’s primarily intended to fix problems on Linux. But to make it a worthwhile upgrade, I have also merged some of the changes from the 1.1 stream: most notably, you won’t need to close a log viewer anymore in order to see new entries after synchronizing the log resource.

As usual, you can get it from SourceForge.net or via the built-in update function.

1.0.0 Final is here!

philippn — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:22:38 +0000

After having sorted out the p2 problems, the final release is now available for download on SourceForge.net. Alternatively, simply start LogSaw 1.0.0 RC1 and the final bits will be offered to you via the built-in update function.

P2 Update showstopper

philippn — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 01:58:29 +0000

Release 1.0.0 is basically ready, however it turned out during my final tests that the update function in RC1 doesn’t pickup the final bits for some odd reason. I will have to look into this further.

1.0.0RC1 out now!

philippn — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 06:56:32 +0000

The RC1 is out now. Fetch it from SourceForge.net as usual.

So whats new? With this release, Eclipse platform has been updated to Eclipse 3.6.1 and a new ‘Check for Updates’ feature has been added that is based on Eclipse p2.

Though, the best addition is probably the Quick Filter function. Sometimes screenshots tell more than a hundred words…

Milestone 4 out now!

philippn — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:11:14 +0000

The often delayed M4 release of LogSaw is out now! Most notably this milestone is the first one shipping with documentation (it’s not that much yet, but it’s way better than nothing). Also, LogSaw has been migrated to Eclipse RCP 3.6, including a shiny new feature. And last but not least, some improvements have been made in the Log4J parser engine.

Snag it from SourceForge.net as usual.

Milestone 3 is out!

philippn — Sun, 09 May 2010 10:55:46 +0000

The title says it all This milestone brings many bugfixes and support for IBM WebSphere logs. Feel free to snag it from SourceForge.

1.0.0M2 out now!

philippn — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:10:26 +0000

As promised, Milestone 2 is being released today.

It adds a bit of polish here and there when compared to M1. In particular:

When re-opening a log resource, the last active filter is re-applied
You can save and load arbitrary filters in the Filter Settings dialog. I hope I have made this feature intuitive enough, atleast until documentation is done…
You can drop all log entries from a log resource using the new Truncate action. This is useful i.e. for rolling log files, where you don’t want to keep everything that has happened weeks ago. In the past you had to delete the log resource entirely, and then re-import. Now you can simply use Truncate occasionally

Apart from that, a bunch of bugfixes also made it in this release. Plus, I could remove the dependency on org.eclipse.core.resources which makes the download a bit smaller.

As usual you can get it from SourceForge.net.

Note: Log resources imported with M1 will not be picked up by M2. You will need to re-import them!

M1a out now

philippn — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:42:33 +0000

This application requires Java 6, a tiny fact that I had forgotten somewhere on the way to M1 :-/

So the only change in M1a is that the app will show a proper error message if launched with Java 5 or lower (M1 would just refuse to start with no specific error given).

Some advice for people who already tried M1:

If you are happily running M1, you can safely skip this update!
If LogSaw M1 refused to start for you, make sure that you have Java 6 installed and then extract it again; otherwise it will continue not to work eventhough Java 6 is installed
