Serilog UI version 3 is live!

[followynne]

We're happy to announce that the version 3 of Serilog.UI is finally live!

Version 3 brings a complete restyle of the UI application, along with some features long requested 🔥.

As you migrate to v3, you'll be able to use these new features:

• mobile/desktop mode!
  [Mobile version shows logs as data cards, offering a separate UX experience with filters and operation buttons
• light/dark mode
• sorting => logs can be sorted ASC/DESC, using different log properties
• dates can be displayed in UTC or in the user browser timezone

On the Backend side, we can list the following features:

• Additional Columns support! (supported sinks: MsSql, MariaDb, PostgreSql)
• additional UI options to configure the application
• option to customize the Provider name (see Support provider name customization #119)
• Basic Authorization can be managed by using a modal, removing the hardcoding of credentials in the backend [see here for implementation details]

Breaking changes

With v3, the minimum supported .NET version is 6.0.

In the WIKI we cover all the details on how to use/implement the new features we offer, please read it carefully!

A migration guide from v2 to v3 can be found here.

Some BC Details

We took some time to refactor the public API, doing small adjustments to the main interfaces we expose; the goal was to simplify the maintenance and try to reduce the need of API breaking changes in the future, when we'll add new features.

With this in mind, we also reviewed the Data Providers registration:

• all providers support multiple tables/collections registrations
• the DI setup was moved towards Fluent interface
• Authorization interfaces have been changed, and they must be registered in the DI - read here to

Another change you could be interested in:

Home path lands on {ui-path}/ instead of {ui-path}/index.html [the old path now redirects towards {ui-path}/].
We applied this change to simplify the routing implementation on the client side.

Again, please read the WIKI to get all the details!
