Hi,

A long time ago I announced version 1.6 of MultiTail. A lot has changed
since then.
I would like to announce the new stable release 3.4.0.

Description of the program:
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console
(with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the
wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch
to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of
files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use
colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for
faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter
lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing
given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have
windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing
the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of
tools like 'watch' and such.
