We're working on a new six-weekly release cadence, so Seq 2020.2 is here six weeks after 2020.1.

Download Seq 2020.2 now, or docker pull datalust/seq:latest.

Improved structured data viewer 💡

Easily search for properties inside of nested objects with Seq 2020.2's enhanced structured data viewer (#1014).
You can also copy nested objects as raw JSON or searchable values, or copy the property path onto your clipboard.

Add comments to queries 💬

Seq 2020.2 supports comments in search expressions and queries, using SQL-style -- notation  (#1010). Saving queries also saves the comments!
