Overview
In November 2023, tailspin
had 240 stars and was only available to downloads on Crates.io and Debian. At the time of
writing this, it sits at over 4k stars and is available on most major Linux distributions, macOS and Windows.
I am glad to see that tailspin
has been useful to so many people.
For version 3.0.0
there are both new features and breaking changes.
New features:
UUID
highlighter now highlights numbers and letters in individual styling- Process highlighter has updated default styling and matches processes with parenthesis
- Added a new highlighter 32-bit and 64-bit pointers (e.g.
0x7f8c8c0c0c0c
) - Added a
IPv6
highlighter (e.g.2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
) - Dates formatted as
yyyy/mm/dd
andDay Month DD
are now highlighted
Breaking changes:
Renamed --follow-command
to --listen-command
The --follow-command
flag has been renamed to --listen-command
to avoid confusion with the --tail
flag.
Removed --bucket-size
flag
The --bucket-size
flag has been removed. The bucket size was ultimately an implementation detail that should be set
by the program itself.
