Happy to say [ppx\_minidebug 1.4.0](https://ocaml.org/p/ppx_minidebug/latest) is now in the opam repository. The two new features since 1.3.0 are:

- a _Table of Contents_ view on logs, a log file with selected log entry headers as hyperlinks pointing to anchors in the regular log file(s), the table of contents logs preserve the log tree hierarchy but don’t use folding,
- time stamps optionally output as time elapsed since the start of a program rather than as wall-clock times.

What future development of `ppx_minidebug` would you like to see?
