Release 26.1.0 is a substantial update: Favourites, global timestamp settings, a redesigned filter toolbar, visual improvements, a new icon, and Snap distribution for Linux. The codebase was also migrated to Scala 3.

Favourites

Favourites are named Search Term Groups marked for reuse across all log files. Think of them as your personal go-to filter configurations — predefined sets for log levels, error patterns, or whatever you reach for most often.

LogoRRR ships with a set of common patterns pre-installed. Customise them through the new Settings dialog (File menu), or create your own. Selecting a Favourite applies it automatically when you open the next file.

This release also simplifies the Search Term Group model: the emphasis moves from per-file groups toward reusable favourites that travel with your workflow.

Improved filter toolbar

The redesigned filter toolbar — active search terms are now visually distinct, and the settings editor is more accessible

Search term buttons are rendered with a cleaner, more modern style. The Settings Editor has been redesigned for easier access. It is now much clearer at a glance which terms are active.

Updated UI: active vs inactive search terms are clearly differentiated

Global timestamp settings

Define a global timestamp format once and LogoRRR applies it to every new log file from that source

You can now define default timestamp settings that apply to all new log files. This removes the need to configure the timestamp format each time you open a file from the same system or service.

The timestamp settings UI was refined at the same time, so configuring a format and applying it to future files is easier to discover.

Visual redesign

The default appearance was redesigned: cleaner layout, updated colour usage, and a more contemporary feel overall. The About screen’s LogoRRR icon now links to logorrr.app .

LogoRRR also has a new application icon with an SVG source — scalable and crisp at every display density.

Snap distribution

Starting with this release, LogoRRR is available from Snapcraft :

snap install logorrr

The Snap build uses LogoRRR’s GraalVM packaging path and includes broader CPU compatibility work so the app starts on a wider range of Linux systems.

Build and release workflow

LogoRRR moved to Scala 3 in this release and now builds through the Maven wrapper with Maven 4. The distribution scripts were also reorganized for repeatable Windows and Linux binary uploads.
