Lilith 0.9.39

Changes

• Added some error messages.
• Added "recent files" menu.
  This was requested by Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen).
  (Ticket 83)
• lilith.bat does not strictly require a %JAVA_HOME% environment variable anymore.
  This was requested by Gareth Doutch (gdoutch).
  (Ticket 80)
• Added special icons for views opened from a file, different ones for refreshing (Lilith) and non-refreshing (imported) ones.
  They arguably suck a little bit. ;)
  (Ticket 48)
• Added automatic refreshing of opened Lilith files. This should work but isn't tested very thoroughly, yet.
  This was requested by Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen).
  (Ticket 84)
• Added cat (-c) and tail (-t, -f) functionality to Lilith so it's possible to print entries of binary Lilith log-files to the console. Number of printed entries can be configured using -n. The format string of for the event can be given at runtime.
  Unfortunately, this is only possible with Logback-Classic, not Logback-Access.
  The reason for this shortcoming is LBACCESS-12.
  
  The following parts of LoggingEvent aren't supported yet:
  • LoggerContextVO
  • IThrowableProxy
  • Marker
• Removed LogbackClassic appender from default logback.xml of Lilith to prevent warning during startup. Those would be especially annoying in case of cat or tail.
  This is a workaround for LBCLASSIC-156.
• Changed autocomplete of find combos from uber-annoying case-insensitive swingx to much less annoying case-sensitive Glazed Lists.
  This annoyed Alfred and me.
• Neither "Window" menu nor status bar did update properly if "Automatically open new views on connection." was deselected.
  This bug was found by Joe.
  (Ticket 82)
• Changed the license of all files previously licensed as LGPLv3 to both LGPLv3 and ASLv2 instead. Use whichever license suits you better.
  This was requested by Ekkehard Gentz.
• Added option to maximize internal frames by default. This is actually very good idea!
  This was suggested by snstanton.
  (Ticket 77)
• Added contextName and/or applicationIdentifier to the title of the frames.
  This was suggested by Alfred & Joe.
• It wasn't possible to cancel an exit-request executed by closing the main frame.
  This bug was found by Gareth Doutch (gdoutch).
  (Ticket 79)
• Replaced all <layout> with <encoder> in logback*.xml.
  See Logback documentation for info.
• Logback 0.9.21
• SLF4J 1.6.0
• commons-cli 1.2
• httpclient 4.0.1
• Groovy 1.7.2

Known Issues

• Selection in the HTML view is currently somewhat buggy, especially in case of scaled view. This is a limitation of Flying Saucer that's used as the XHTML renderer.
• cat and tail are currently still experimental features.
  AccessEvent isn't (and can't be) supported yet. LoggingEvent isn't fully supported, either.
