Lilith 8.2.0

Download Now!
(Released: 2018-08-09)

This version of Lilith demands Java 8 update 181 or higher and will says so if you try to start it with an older version. It has also been built and tested with Java 10.0.2.

You can still receive event from previous versions so if your application is still running Java 7 or lower just keep using the 0.9.44 artifacts.
Keep in mind that Java SE 7 End of Public Updates has already been reached.

Changelog

Added

Added "Find previous active" and "Find next active" buttons to toolbar.
Added "Find previous" and "Find next" buttons to toolbar.
Added lots of missing mnemonics.
If the connection is lost then Message/RequestURI in table will now show "Connection closed." instead of nothing.
Added smooth horizontal table scrolling option that is enabled by default.
Added support for Log4j 2 JsonLayout, YamlLayout and XmlLayout. SerializedLayout has been deprecated in log4j2 2.9.0 so you should use one of the other options instead.
Added Automatic-Module-Names for artifacts where appropriate. See Automatic-Module-Name: Calling all Java Library Maintainers.

Changed

"Clean all inactive logs" is now less noisy in the Lilith log.
Changed icons for "Find previous active" and "Find next active". They now differ from "Find previous" and "Find next" as they should.
Refactored actions and icon handling.
Don't add null events to global logs.
Unchecking "Enable global logs." in Preferences is now deleting existing global log files automatically.
Keyboard help will now always be up-to-date.
Demand Java 8 1.8.0_181.

Deprecated

Nothing.

Removed

"Previous" and "Next" buttons in find panel.
"Pause" action. Pausing only paused updating of the table, not receiving of events. This was confusing (even me) and served no actual purpose. This action was a left-over from the early days of Lilith when it was used for debugging during development.

Fixed

All L&F support mac screen menu bar with Java 9 or higher.
Zero-delimited event receivers did not add a null event when end of stream was reached.
Fixed initial enabled state of "Go to source".
Fixed enabled state of "Edit" menu. Mustn't be disabled anymore because "Paste StackTraceElement" is always available.
Fixed enabled state of "Copy selection".
Menu entries related to global logs are now disabled if "Enable global logs." is unchecked in Preferences.
Added more dependencies and entries to the deserialization whitelist. This is essentially necessary because logback-access does not have an AccessEventVO. See also LOGBACK-1182 - Problem deserializing AccessEvent..
Not all event producers expect a heartbeat.
Made sure that "You have changed the look & feel." and "You have changed the application path." dialogs aren't hidden by the preferences dialog.
Fixed java executable detection in Windows bat file. Thanks, tha2015!

Fixed several split package issues. Because of this, some classes have changed package names:
- the two most commonly used classes de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ClassicMultiplexSocketAppender and de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.encoder.ClassicLilithEncoder have not been moved.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.encoder.AccessLilithEncoder changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.encoder.access.AccessLilithEncoder.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.AccessMultiplexSocketAppender changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.access.AccessMultiplexSocketAppender.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ClassicJsonMultiplexSocketAppender changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.json.ClassicJsonMultiplexSocketAppender.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ZeroDelimitedClassicJsonMultiplexSocketAppender changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.json.ZeroDelimitedClassicJsonMultiplexSocketAppender.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ClassicXmlMultiplexSocketAppender changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.xml.ClassicXmlMultiplexSocketAppender.
- de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.ZeroDelimitedClassicXmlMultiplexSocketAppender changed to de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.appender.xml.ZeroDelimitedClassicXmlMultiplexSocketAppender.

Security

Nothing.

Known issues

logback-access AccessEvent sent by SocketAppender isn't guaranteed to be deserializable at the moment. You can use the Lilith Multiplex Socket Appender in the meantime. See LOGBACK-1182 - Problem deserializing AccessEvent..
Logback 1.1.0 introduced some message formatting regressions. See LOGBACK-1183 - Message formatting regression.
~~Binary Lilith log files will only work in case of append=false.~~ Implemented a workaround. See LOGBACK-1257 - Invalid files in case of append=true and Encoder with non-null headerBytes() / footerBytes()
log4j 1 won't be able to send Java 9 ClassLoaderName, ModuleName and ModuleVersion for the call location of the event. Search LOG4J_MODULE in the source to take a look at the problem. Since Log4j 1 End-Of-Life has been announced 2015-08-06, chances are pretty slim that this will be fixed. Upgrade to log4j 2 or Logback.
Flying Saucer related issues:
- Selection in the HTML view is currently somewhat buggy, especially in case of scaled view. See Issue 79: SelectionHighlighter not compatible with ScalableXHTMLPanel.
- Jumping to anchors is currently not supported so the navigation in help and details view isn't as good as it could be. See Issue 105: URLs with anchors.
glazedlists #485 - AutoCompleteSupport: Arrowing down on the popup and pressing enter fails to update combobox is happening in the find panel on macOS. Select the correct entry with the mouse as a workaround.
