Pipe Viewer 1.9.42 is released today: https://ivarch.com/p/pv

In this release, "--watchfd" is extended to allow several processes to be watched at once, and processes can be specified by name as well as by PID; a fault with over-reading when using "--stop-at-size" is fixed, as well as its behaviour when given a zero value; and Turkish translations have been updated.

Pipe Viewer (pv) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a Unix pipeline and modifying its flow. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion. Data flow rate, error handling strategy, buffer size, and cache interaction can all be adjusted.

Pipe Viewer 1.9.44 is released today: https://ivarch.com/p/pv

This release adds the "--sparse" option, to write sparse output, and adjusts "--watchfd" to keep the last status on-screen when the watched process ends, instead of clearing it.

Pipe Viewer 1.10.0 is released today: https://ivarch.com/p/pv

This release adds the "--query" option, which shows the transfer status of another running pv instance. It also improves the behaviour of the timers in "--watchfd" when the pv process is paused and resumed.
