Version 0.3 of monkeytail has finally been release. Changes include:

• inclusion in Debian pending approval (many thanks to Francois).
• file grouping support
• tarball releases (at http://git.dollyfish.net.nz/releases/monkeytail/)
• man pages for mtail and mtailrc

As always, feel free to send feedback/bug reports/suggestions my way :-)

So after having a chat to Grant I've made a couple of minor tweaks to monkeytail.

• The --help switch now prints stuff nicely wrapped for 80 column terminals (for those of us still happily using them ...)
• I've removed the dependancy on the Event module, and instead am now using the core IO::Select module (at Grant's recommendation)

For those of you who were at the PerlMongers lightning talks, I finally managed to release something :-)

For those of you who weren't, monkeytail is a wrapper around tail designed for web developers (i.e. me). It tails multiple files across multiple hosts, but most importantly, it inserts blank lines when it detects a delay in the messages (i.e. between requests) making it really easy to see which lines belong to which request while debugging.

You can get more information and download it over at the project page.
