I am happy to announce that LogFusion 1.2.2 is now available for download! This is a small update that significantly improves LogFusion's ability to load extremely large log files. LogFusion 1.2.1 added the ability to load logs with over 1 million lines. This new version improves that ability, allowing log files that are up to 4x larger to be loaded. If you work with large log files, I would encourage you to update to version 1.2.2 today!

I am very pleased to announce the release of LogFusion 1.2.1! This release focuses on one issue: loading large log files. I have removed the "Lines to Load" setting and replaced it with a "Bytes to Load" setting that can be disabled if desired. Previously, you could specify that you wanted to load 500 lines (for example) when opening a log file. Now you specify the number of bytes (in MB) to load. This allows for some behind-the-scenes optimizations that allow LogFusion to quickly open and process huge log files. For example, a 600mb log file with over 1 million lines opens in roughly 10 seconds on my test machine. If you work with large log files I encourage you to download this update today!

FileSeek 2.1.1 has been released! This is a small update that improves the file size filtering options. The minimum and maximum file size filters can now be configured independently. This makes it easier to filter files using only a minimum or maximum size. Also, the file size unit can now be selected from a list (bytes, KB, MB, GB). This makes it easier to filter large values without having to enter lots of zeros. If you aren't prompted to update by the automatic update check, you can download this new version from the FileSeek Download page.

I am very happy to announce the release of HashTools 2.2.0! This new version adds some new features, and fixes a large issue. The first new feature is an improved update check. The new update check is enabled by default, but it can be configured from the Tools menu in HashTools. An icon has been added beside each file in the list to represent the hash comparision result. Grey means unchecked, green is OK and red is a fail. If a file fails a hash check, it means the file is most likely corrupted. Loading multiple selected files using the context menu in Windows Explorer now works as expected on slower machines, or machines that are under heavy load (high CPU usage or disk activity). Previously, HashTools would sometimes skip some files if they weren't loaded fast enough. I would encourage everyone to download this new version today to take advantage of these new features and fixes!

I am very happy to announce the release of LogFusion 1.2.0! This new version fixes a number of issues that were found in version 1.1.2. LogFusion will now run correctly with the .NET Framework 2.0 pre-SP1 (unpatched). Version 1.1.2 was unable to run on a pre-SP1 machine, which caused issues for some people. Also, when the configured font can't be loaded, this new version will now draw the log entries correctly. Previously, some log entries would be drawn incorrectly or would be blank. I would encourage all LogFusion users to download this new version today!

In 2009 the DisplayFusion Pro Site License was introduced, and it has been a very popular license choice for companies that rely on DisplayFusion. Since then, the pricing has changed occasionally, but the price has always been based on the number of machines at your site. In an effort to simplify purchasing a site license, all site licenses are now a fixed price of $645 (Canadian Dollars). This will be a significant savings for most companies, and much easier to purchase. You can visit the DisplayFusion Pro Site License page to see more information about this license. There are multiple ways to purchase (credit card, PO, cheque, bank transfer... etc) and now that the price is constant, you don't need to wait for a custom quote. This means you can purchase a Site License and be using it almost immediately.

Why would you want a site license instead of individual licenses? With a site license you are covered for all the machines at your site without needing to buy more licenses. The site license is a lifetime license so you will never need to pay for updates to newer versions of DisplayFusion. There are no extra maintenance or support costs with the site license, the one price is all you'll ever pay. With a site license you have just 1 license key to manage, instead of many different license keys when you purchase individual licenses. This makes it significantly easier to do large deployments to your networked computers.

If you have received a quote for a site license within the last 6 months that is lower than the new $645 price, we will still honour that quote. If you are a non-profit or educational institution, please contact us for an additional discount. If you have any other questions about licensing, or would like more information on the different payment options please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thanks everyone, and have a Happy New Year!
