In LTspice 26, some important information about the simulation was moved and is now buried in the endnotes in the .LOG file.
As an example, when a simulation uses a capacitor with a value specified for Lser, LTspice might introduce (or change) its parallel capacitance, Cpar.
Formerly, the message that it adds to the .LOG file was in a more obvious place, and was before status about circuit convergence, number of threads, etc., which was logical.
Now (version 26), it is lost among the 'stats' at the very bottom of the .LOG file.
Not only is it out of place there (having nothing to do with the 'stats' of the simulation), but it is inappropriate there. Logically, the change happened before LTspice started to look for the operating point, which was before LTspice started to run either the transient simulation or the AC analysis. That message does not belong down there at the very bottom. It should be higher in the .LOG, and it should have some whitespace around it so that it is not lost.
FYI, it would also be most useful to restore the status information about iterations, both accepted and rejected. These are key debugging and performance metrics, and omitting them was a mistake. It is not helpful to LTspice users to have removed them from the .LOG file.
