The Seq NewsletterHello! We hope 2021 is treating you well. Plenty has happened in the world of Seq since our last newsletter in November: we even sneaked out a release on December 24th (we're sorry!), so there's quite a bit to catch up on 😊. New cheat sheets 🎉Seq's query language is designed to stretch from very simple to rather more complicated searching and analysis. If you only occasionally reach for the more advanced features, the Seq 2021.1 cheat sheet will be handy to keep by your desk. Seq 2021 Cheat Sheet The cheat sheet is published in various formats through the https://github.com/datalust/seq-cheat-sheets repository. If you spot any issues, or think there's something we should add or clarify, we'd love for you to get in touch and raise an issue over there. Seq 2020.5 and 2021.1 ✨In case you missed them, Seq 2020.5 and 2021.1 both shipped on their planned six-weekly release dates 🙌. We rolled up the highlights from both releases into a combined release announcement. This pair of releases include a lot of behind-the-scenes changes to keep Seq stable and healthy, including migration onto .NET 5, reworked support for base paths and canonical URIs (important behind reverse proxies like K8s ingress!), and an overhaul of how the ci modifier is handled in the query engine. Updates to Seq.Extensions.Logging, Serilog.Sinks.Seq, and bunyan-seqSeveral Seq client libraries have received updates:
Seq Discussions have moved 💬We're slowly migrating away from the question-and-answer forum under docs.datalust.co, and towards GitHub Discussions. The conversation management features in GitHub discussions will make it easier to find relevant threads through upvotes and filtering. In conjunction with turning on GitHub Discussions, we've also started migrating long-running enhancement requests from our issue tracker to discussion threads. Going forward, so that it's clearer where our effort is being focused, we're using the issue tracker for scheduled enhancements only, with ideas, suggestions, and potential future work tracked in discussion threads. What are we working on?There are quite a few active threads running at Datalust right now. The ones getting the most cycles are:

Since we're now shipping product updates on a six week cycle, we've synchronized the Seq newsletter with this schedule. The next upcoming release is 2021.2, on March 23rd, so we'll be in touch around that date. Until then, happy logging!
