2.128 Feb 2025 15:53 minor feature: If start and end patterns are defined, and -min or -max is used to exclude things by time, then exclude the entire block, rather than just lines within it.
1.329 Nov 2024 07:25 minor feature: Don't include first item in 'minimum time' (as that will always be zero). Add 'total time' to stats.
