imcarlost 80fd6ba760 Bump version to 2.4.0
Fix click-to-line behavior in the interactive UI (no-op without a filter,
correct row math when the log hasn't filled the screen) and add a hover
highlight, a persistent pin on the clicked line, and always-visible process
create/death separators so filtered runs stay distinguishable.

==========
Version 2.4.0 *(2026-07-20)*
----------------------------
* Fix: Clicking a line with no filter active was recentering the view instead of doing
nothing; it's now a no-op until you actually have something to unfilter.
* Fix: Click-to-line row math was off whenever the log hadn't filled the screen yet
(e.g. right after startup), so clicks could land on the wrong entry or miss entirely.
* New: Hovering over a line highlights it while a filter is active, hinting that it's
clickable.
* New: The line you click stays highlighted after the filter clears, so you can find
it in the full scrollback; the highlight clears once you start another search.
* New: Process create/death separators now stay visible even while a filter is active,
so you can tell separate app runs apart in filtered results.
Version 2.3.0 *(2026-07-20)*
----------------------------
* New: Esc quits the interactive UI. A bare Escape keypress exits; Escape sequences
(arrow keys, mouse reports) are still parsed normally.
* Fix: Scrolling the interactive UI now works. Up/Down, Page Up/Down, Home/End, and
the mouse wheel scroll the retained scrollback; new lines no longer yank you back
to the tail while you're scrolled up.
* New: Clicking a line in the interactive UI clears the filter, unfilters the log,
and scrolls to that line in the full history.
Version 2.2.0 *(2026-07-20)*
----------------------------
* New: Interactive full-screen filter UI, on by default when both stdin and stdout are a
terminal. Logs render above a bottom prompt line; typing live-filters the scrollback to
lines containing every typed word, case-insensitively. `--plain` restores the previous
streaming output; piped usage is unaffected.
* Fix: `print(linebuf.encode('utf-8'))` printed the Python 3 bytes repr of every line
instead of the line itself.
* Fix: `named_processes` was still a lazily-exhausted `map()` object after the Python 3
port wrapped `catchall_package` in `list()`.
* Fix: piping `adb logcat` into `pidcat` crashed under Python 3, since `FakeStdinProcess`
read `sys.stdin` (str) where the rest of the script expected bytes.
* Fix: `indent_wrap` could hang given a non-positive wrap area, e.g. an unsized terminal.
* Fix: shebang invoked `python`, which no longer exists on systems that only ship `python3`.
Version 2.1.0 *(2016-09-07)*
----------------------------
* New: Explicitly run `adb` in 'brief' mode to ensure proper parsing.
* New: `-a` / `--all` flag shows all logs.
* Fix: Setting a tag width to 0 now correctly removes tags.
Version 2.0.0 *(2015-05-25)*
----------------------------
* New: Display package and process name in birth & death messages.
* New: Process can be matched in addition to package. For example `com.android.chrome` will match
all of Chrome's processes, `com.android.chrome:` will match only its main process, and
`com.android.chrome:sandboxed_process1` will match that specific process name.
* New: `-c` option clears log before reading logs.
* New: If data is piped to `pidcat` it will be used as the log source instead of `adb`.
* New: `-t` / `--tag` option allows filtering by tag name (regex supported).
* New: `-i` / `--ignore-tag` option allows filtering out tags from the logs by name (regex supported).
* New: `--version` option reports Pidcat's version.
* New: Obtain unknown process IDs of currently-running apps.
* New: `--current` option uses the package of the currently visible app for filtering.
* New: Bash completion support for package names and device names. Requires manual installation of
file in `bash_completion.d/`.
* Fix: Properly match process birth & death from secondary processes.
* Fix: Support leading spaces in PID numbers.
* Fix: Default maximum tag length is now 23 (Android's maximum length).
* Fix: Properly parse Android 5.1+ birth & death messages.
