The first release with the desktop app for Linux and Windows — packages for every major Linux base and a Windows download are attached below once they have built. On a Mac, ctail comes from the Mac App Store.

Fixed

  • Open tabs are saved as they change — opening, closing, renaming, colouring, reordering — so quitting with ⌘Q (or any other way) no longer loses them.
  • A file whose last line has no newline — a one-line XML or JSON document — now shows that line.
  • The Mac App Store edition keeps access to the files you opened, so restored tabs load their contents again. (Files opened before this fix need opening once more.)
  • A menu no longer leaves a row highlighted after the pointer has left it.

Changed

  • The desktop app's status bar shows how much memory the open files hold, rather than the size of the whole program.
  • On Linux, a machine with no GPU support at all now draws in software instead of refusing to start.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

Install a package with the package manager, which fetches what the window
needs: sudo apt install ./ctail_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb,
sudo dnf install ./ctail-1.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm,
sudo pacman -U ctail-1.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, or
sudo apk add --allow-untrusted ctail_1.0.1-r1_x86_64.apk (the packages
are not signed, which is what apk's flag is about). The .tar.gz is the
program on its own, for a machine that already has a desktop.

On a Mac, get ctail from the Mac App Store.

The Windows build is not signed, so SmartScreen stops its first launch:
choose More info, then Run anyway.
