New Features:
• Can now ignore extra Log4j tags (%F, %l, %L, %M, %r, %x, %X tags were automatically displayed since v2.0.0 if present in Log4j pattern)
Bugfixes: • Due to a regression in v2.0.0, couldn't parse log entries dates with date patterns like "*M*d*" (e.g. yyyy-MM-dd) => Delta-T computation and interlaced files merge didn't work for these log entries.

v2.0.0 "Katy" (March 19, 2010)

• New "Bookmarks" feature: user can now save bookmarks (save URL of a log file and give it a name, to open it later) (see forum)
• New "Workspace" feature: a Workspace is a named set of URLs, bookmarks, and/or directories to open (useful when a set of log files is opened several times) (see forum)

• Menu option "Copy field only" (on entries table popup menu) didn't copy the right table cell if a column of this table was hidden
• [AutoRefresh] If a file flush was performed with AutoRefresh, some entries were still displayed if file was not modified between AutoRefresh start and file flush

• Using "logmx.sh" to start LogMX, can now give several log files to open (only first one was opened)
• [AutoRefresh] When max number of entries to display was set (to reduce memory allocation), LogMX didn't use this limit for file parsing (all entries were read, then trimmed), which might cause OutOfMemory errors even when using this limit

• Prefix "file://" didn't work to open local log files
