Version 1.2: this version can now also vertically split the screen
Version 1.3: this version fixes an important bug: previous versions did not stop the tail-processes they started.
Version 1.4: this version adds regular expressions. You can now define for each window (or for all) what lines should be displayed
Version 1.5: this version adds a nice interactive menu for adding and deleting windows
Version 1.6: numerous small additions and fixes: fixed printing of extended ascii (accents etc.), added swapping of window-positions, added toggling of windows verticalsplit, switched on extended regular expressions parsing
Version 1.7: small fixes and additions: MultiTail should now compile on Solaris 8
Version 1.8: adds negation for regular expressions. one can now also select the field which is used to determine the color (when you prefer to select the date, for example), some small fixes for FreeBSD.
Version 1.9: you can now also tail external commands with MultiTail. for example the output of ping.
Version 1.91: sometimes when using the '-l' command to get the output of other commands into MultiTail, nothing would appear in the window(s). this release should fix that.
Version 2.0: negating regular expressions did not work. fixed
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 possible.
Version 2.3: field delimiters (for -cf) can be any size now (not just one character), 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, fixed a couple of (sp)lint-warnings, radically changed the errorhandling, some fixes 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 --retry, MultiTail works again on Solaris, added "merge-mode": all files are merged into one window, made window-selection into a scrollable window, fixed compilation-warnings, windows are filled as much as possible again on Solaris
Version 2.5: file completion on current directory now no longer segfaults, removed the "merge windows"-facility and added multiple files/commands per windows (for greater flexibility), cleaned up source, re-introduced the window-numbers (for easier navigation), fixes for Solaris, highlighting of regular expressions, MultiTail can now write its own startup-scripts
Version 2.5.1: fixed deleting of subwindows: sometimes left-over processes would still be in memory. fixed regular expressions
Version 2.5.2: one can now set the screenrefresh interval: usefull when you use MultiTail over a slow link. sets the terminal explicit to 'dumb' when starting a process, so one can now use for example -l "top", several small fixes (long filenames would garble the screen, etc.)
Version 2.6: compiles and works again when compiling with CygWin, several small fixes, one can now exit most menus by pressing q or x, one can now set a mark in a window and scroll back (and forth)
