    • 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.

    • 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).
