Recent releases


Changes: Previous releases used to pop up a dialog every time an important log message arrived, which became very annoying very quickly. This release instead draws your attention to important messages by flashing a small icon in your GNOME notification tray.


Changes: This release adds the ability to filter the messages displayed in the message view. For example, you can restrict the view so that you only see the messages created by a given host, or that were created during a certain hour or minute, or that contain a specific key word.
