Sebb commented on IO-450:
-------------------------
Sounds like the file does not have a trailing EOL.
Since Tailer reads complete lines, it won't see the last (incomplete) line.
I'm not sure there is any way around this without breaking existing
functionality.
How can Tailer know when the last line is complete if it does not have an EOL?
> File doesn't end with blank line and cann't get the last line using Tailer!
