@vdasus vdasus released this 22 Sep 09:03

All GrayLog settings in one place: rules and styles are edited on a single options page.

Disclaimer. Personal project, written for the author's own use. Provided "as is", without warranty
of any kind and without support. Use at your own risk. Developed with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code)
under the supervision of vdasus.

Changed

  • Tools > Options > GrayLog > General is now a table of rules (on/off, name, regular expression, ignore case, style)
    with Add, Remove, Move up/down and Reset to defaults, an on/off checkbox, and a field to test a line of code.
  • Style colors and italic are edited on the same page (color picker and preview); they are no longer in Fonts and Colors.
  • Default color is Olive (Style 1; Style 2 is Olive italic; Style 3 is Gray).
  • Classification reads and matches each line once per request.

Added

  • Predefined rules: "Logger calls" (enabled), "Console output" and "Debug / Trace output" (disabled).
  • A rule whose regular expression exceeds the 50 ms match timeout is disabled until the settings are changed,
    with a one-time warning.

Upgrade note

Settings use a new storage format: rules customized in 2.0.0 are replaced by the defaults.

Installation

Close Visual Studio, then open GrayLog-2.1.0.vsix (or run VSIXInstaller.exe GrayLog-2.1.0.vsix).
Requires Visual Studio 2026 or later, amd64 or arm64.

See CHANGELOG.md.
