New

Refactoring of the logger code for performance/efficiency purpose -- the logger output has been decoupled from the DOM.

Additionally, these features were added to the logger:

• configuration settings
  • multiple criteria can be used for when to discard logger entries
  • ability to hide some columns
• export-to-clipboard
• the position and size of the logger-as-a-popup window will be remembered
• a pause button to stop the logger from taking in new events
• a new built-in expressions picker to filter the logger output
• show the hostname of the document which caused the resource to be fetched
• show the 3rd-partyness of a resource relative to both the page and the document fetching the resource
• new visual hint to denote tab-less network requests
• a popup panel button linked to the tab selector

Documentation will be updated eventually to account for those changes.
