Seq 2020.3 is released 🎉

Larene Le Gassick -

This release improves stability for Seq customers using Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication. We've also made some much-anticipated changes to live tailing to make it more responsive and easier to follow.

Improved live tailing 🐕

New events in tail (auto-refresh) mode are easier to see, with a background highlight that fades (#939), and a shorter interval between refreshes while new events are appearing! (#940)

Seq in live tail mode, demonstrating the refresh interval shortening to 0.5 seconds when there are new events.

Other fixes and enhancements

  • The event Type menu now includes a Copy value command for easier searching (#1035)
  • Internal error telemetry (if enabled) now includes the SourceContext property  (#1025)
  • The UI no longer hangs intermittently when Azure Active Directory session tokens are refreshed (#1023)
  • OpenID Connect now properly sets the callback redirect URI when BASE_URI or api.canonicalUri are specified (#1039)
  • The ci modifier now also works for regular expression operations (#1033)
  • Using the tick/cross shortcuts on properties with names that happen to be keywords now uses the correct @Properties['<keyword>'] escape syntax (#1031)
  • order by now correctly fails instead of instead of truncating the result set when the default row limit is exceeded and no limit n clause is specified in the search query (#1024)
  • Invalid API keys are now masked when recorded in the Ingestion Log (#1026)
  • The minimum free disk space threshold increased from 128MB to 1GB, to properly allow for retention policy processing when disk space is low (#1038)
