Seq 2020.5 is the first Seq version to run under .NET 5, bringing further improvements in execution time for some fundamental queries:


Seq 2020.5 query performance against 2020.4 and 5.1, with data served from memory and from/to dates specified.
In 2020.5, Seq plug-in apps and inputs run under the open-source seqcli
app host, making development easier and cross-platform deployment more reliable.
We've also managed to save some bytes to shrink the Windows installer (34%) and Docker image (16%, compressed).
Oh, and workspaces have been redesigned: you can now associate default signals with a workspace, and they'll be activated when you switch between workspaces 😎.
