ChangeLog for savelogs
=============================================================================
*Release 1.50*
----------------------------
revision 1.30
date: 2002/12/06 23:38:10; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +111 -40
- allow $LOG in postmovehook and postfilterhook phases
- regression tests for these phases
----------------------------
*Release 1.42*
----------------------------
revision 1.29
date: 2002/12/06 19:28:08; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +14 -4
- some minor documentation changes
----------------------------
revision 1.28

*Release 1.41*
----------------------------
revision 1.27
date: 2002/05/02 18:47:12; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +35 -18
- version 1.40 had a backward incompatibility in how it dealt with
empty log queues; prior to 1.40 if a log queue became empty because
logs were culled for size reasons, no "You must specify one or more
log files" warning was issued. Version 1.40 _would_ issue an error
regardless of how the queue was emptied because of a loop
optimization; this revision (1.41) restores the old behavior.
- regression tests added to check for this warning
----------------------------
revision 1.26
date: 2002/04/30 22:29:32; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +3 -3

----------------------------
revision 1.25
date: 2002/04/30 20:16:56; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +121 -64
- added 'NoLog' directive to exclude/cull specified logs
* uses shell globbing like 'Log' directive
* smart enough to find logs based on inode (not just path) so
symlinked paths are ok
* lots of documentation (rotation.pod includes new example, too)
* regression tests added
- better error handling in ApacheConf (fetch_apache_logs)
* handles empty/nonexistent files
* no more fatal exceptions in this function when absent logs
- condensed fetch_logs and cull phases into one phase, one loop
- added 'fulllog' data member to log object (shaves off a half-dozen
calls to mkpath)
- pre-compressed file check now pre-compiled regex
- backward compatible with all 1.x versions
----------------------------
*Release 1.33*

- globbing capability with Log directive added (uses Perl's internal
glob operator). Now you can do stuff like this:
Log /www/logs/access_log.*
and savelogs will find matching logs--implicitly omitting
*(\.tar|\.t?gz)
----------------------------
*Release 1.28*
----------------------------
revision 1.15
date: 2001/10/02 22:42:47; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +42 -31

----------------------------
revision 1.14
date: 2001/09/25 20:20:31; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +17 -7

revision 1.13
date: 2001/09/25 17:05:30; author: scottw; state: Exp; lines: +237 -35
- changed default apachelogexclude directive to include '|' (pipe)
- added stem, stemhook, stemlink directives to allow an external
program to find a consistently named log file
- added some debugging code to fetch_logs phase
- outdented postmovehook section from if clause (do quick exit with 'last')
- added stem code which creates a symbolic (or other specified type)
link to the already moved file. The symlink is well-named for an
external program (ala analog, urchin, etc.) to find a dynamically
named log easily.
- added poststemhook which executes an external program, much like
postmovehook. After poststemhook executes, the symlink stem is removed.
- documentation chanages
- version string updated
----------------------------

we do inode-based duplicate detection
