0.6.0

   2005-09-06

   Unfortunately, when I stopped working on liblogging due to some higher

   priority work (in 2003 ;)), I didn't update this file here. While I

   initially thought I'd push it away for a few weeks at most, it actually

   become suspended for some month. The lack of real interest in it didn't

   justify any more work. Thankfully, interest in RFC 3195 is now improving

   and I've also done my own syslogd for unix (www.rsyslog.com), so I am

   now able to look at least partly at the lib. In the mean time, some

   users have successfully used the 0.5.0 release and their feedback was

   generally pleasant. So I think this is a good release.

   I will now go through the code and extract what has been upgraded since

   0.5.0. So we have a rough record of that. Here are the changes:

              - support for UDP and unix domain socket listening - these

                features were initially introduced to support a to-be-written

                syslogd. They are not very well tested and will probably not

                be for quite some time.

              - code enhanced to guard against oversize BEEP frames, which

                could be introduced by a malicous person (security related)

              - some support for Solaris has been added (not sure what it

                was exactly...)

              - added the COOKED listener

              - some checks against invalid SEQs

   0.6.0 is not as thouroughly tested as 0.5.0, which by now I consider to

   be stable. I advise people to use 0.5.0 if they are looking for stable

   code and do not urgently need the new features introduced in 0.6.0.



0.5.0         - fixed a bug in the server code where an <ok/> response

                for a channel close request was sent over the to-be-closed

                channel instead of channel 0. This can be an interoperability

                issue with 

              - implemented 3195/COOKED in the client. Server is still RAW

                only.

              - fixed some smaller bugs I don't remeber ;)

              - enhanced the client API to directly support sending

                syslog message objects. This is now the preferred way

                of sending messages.

              

              THE SERVER API MAY STILL CHANGE AND IS NOT FINALIZED IN 0.5.0!

              

0.4.0	      - fixed a hang condition on server shutdown (the listening

                sockets was accidently not in nonblocking state)

              - added support for parsing the syslog message

              - modified the directory structure, each OS will now have its

                own subdirectory (including Windows)

	          - included a syslog message API, which can also be used

                to create syslog messages

              - added support for syslog-sign-12 in the message object

0.3.1

   2003-08-29 - a good number of fixes

              - server (listener) API included

                WARNING: THE API IS NOT NECESSARILY STABLE YET. If you use it,

                         you may need to change your code with later releases

0.2.0

   2003-08-12 - socket layer restructured to facilitate porting

              - XML parser added

              - API stable, API changes will NOT break any programs written to 0.2.0 API

              - much better error checking

              - compiles & runs under Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, Solaris

     

0.1.0

   2003-08-04 Initial Release
