πŸŒ€ A log file highlighter

winget install --id bensadeh.tailspin --exact --source winget

Latest 6.1.0·May 14, 2026

Release Notes

Added

  • --extras jvm-stack-trace highlights JVM stack traces (Java, Kotlin, Scala, etc.)
  • TAILSPIN_EXTRAS environment variable to set extras without the --extras flag

Performance

  • Cache ANSI style prefixes in a thread-local, avoiding per-line allocation in the render pipeline

Fixed

  • Theme parse and read errors now include the path of the offending file
  • Reject unknown fields in theme.toml so they surface as errors instead of being silently ignored
  • --exec no longer tears down the pager the moment the spawned subprocess exits
  • Kill the pager when tailspin exits due to a stream error, instead of leaving it orphaned
  • Overriding builtin keywords in theme.toml should always take precedence over the builtin ones (#267)

Installer type: zip
