  • remove padding from multirow text:

  • added autoscroll - autoscroll was actually the default behaviour, what makes it impossible to debug continuous log messages (like mouse movement, window manager bus), now it can be disabled
  • fix selection synchronization: when selecting continuous log messages it was possible to for logs to update when selecting what resulted in shifted selection
  • implement log delete operator
  • now info editor will refresh on new log arrival
  • I revisited patch for showing python output in info editor (fixed and improved)
  • I was experimenting with python api for logging see this post
  • started submiting patches for review

Next to come

  • I noticed performance issues
  • I have initial idea how out how to deal with third party (extern) libraries (specifically cycles and libmv, the one that use glog) and integrate them into Info Editor. I will do make design, but it will not make it into this gsoc. I will post later on discussion thread.
