The Advanced Log Viewer has been open sourced!

Fixes:
Fixed bug with log parser pattern that has a character "|".
Support of UTF8 documents.

· New option in settings: quot;Show type's icon on each row (The icon on left side of each row)quot;. By default the option is enabled, user can disable it and thus hide icons on the log view.

Feature:
· Parser Patterns: Added possibility to specify mutliple date time formats in case log contains date time in different formats.
Fix:
· Significantly improved performance of date time parsing which leads to improved performance of log loading.

· New search dialog which highlights all rows with found text and shows appropriate marks on the right side to see where are the rows with found text.
· Search dialog is by default docked in right upper corner with ability to undock and behave as a standard window.
· Improved performance of drawing log lines on main screen, less CPU usage during excessive scrolling.
· Due to completely new Find Dialog implementation, fixed bugs reported on the old search dialog

· When correct parser wasn't detected for the log file, whole log file was shown as one line in the ALV instead of showing message about unknown log format with link to parser patterns manager.

· Feature: Ability to filter log by condition with SQL syntax, example: ((Thread = '9' AND Class LIKE 'MyClass') OR Message LIKE 'Something')
· Feature: New issue tracker for the ALV instead of reporting issues / feature requests in the forum. Visit git.salplachta.net/advanced-log-viewer/issues to see how the issue tracker looks like.
· Feature: Project switched from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4.0. Advanced Log Viewer requires .NET 4.0 to be installed on the machine.
· Feature: Added new shortcut key to show Parser Manager - CTRL+P
· Feature: Few minor performance improvements by using new .NET 4.0 features. More improvements/using of cool .NET4.0 features is planned for next release(s).
· Fix: Fixed issue with progressive loading - log was always loaded without progressive loading -> log was shown at once which caused long loading times for big logs.
· Fix: Fixed few minor issues and typos during code refactoring

· Feature Ability to filter also by regular expression (RegEx) in the text filters (Thread, Type, Class, Message).
· Feature Improved performance of filters.
· Feature Jump to nearest item with same Type (Error, Warning, ...) as on currently selected row by CTRL+Up or CTRL+Down.
· Fix Fixed issue in quot;Browse for logsquot; dialog. Logs in root directory were shown in some subfolder.

· Fixed issue with movement synchronization between different Log viewers. When this function was enabled, the target Log Viewer's window was activated on every row change in the source Log Viewer.

Feature:
· Show list of command line parameters from command line (by /? param) or from 'More->Show command line parameters' menu.
· Added new command line parameter: ForceParser to force specific parser for the given log file. See list of command line parameters for more details.
· Associate .LOG files with the ALV application. The switch is on the Settings page in system integration section.

Fix:
· Fixed issue with non-parseable date time.
· When log contains first line in different format than the parser specifies, the line is shown only in message column. In previous version the line wasn't shown in the ALV at all.

Change:
· When ALV can't parse date time based on provided date time format it's shown only in status bar, no more annoying popup message box.

Feature:
· Ability to save currently shown (filtered) log items into new log file which could be shown and filtered again.
