Hi !
This is version 1.5.3 of the Xlogmaster and there haven't been too
many changes. The RUN mode should be reliably and stable now (*cross
fingers*) and there are keyboard accelerators for the menu and the
entries (try 1-0 and CTRL 1-0 )... the database is not ready yet and
will be the next thing to work on.
If you need this to be a stable version (for the SuSE people
especially), do the following:
In src/menu.cc comment out line 503. This will just prevent the
"Database" button from showing up and hence effectively disable the
database which is the main source of "betaness" at the moment.
All the others: check out the Database, feedback on this part would be
very much appreciated !
Please check it out and send the feedback to:
beta-xlogmaster@gnu.org
as usual...
Regards,
Georg

Alright, 1.5.2 is here. All changes have basically been related to the
configuration. The sounds & scripts can now be put in another place
than the main configuration via the XLM-LIB things in configure or as
an environment variable... hopefully I also fixed the problem with no
explicit prefix and and the problem on systems with REGEX functions
but without include files...
-----
Since the notes for 1.5.1 are still valid, here is what I have said to
it - I'd still like some feedback on stability and the database:
So this is the version 1.5.1 of the Xlogmaster... I did a lot of
work on it and will do even more before releasing it as a stable
version again.
Things I'd like to focus your attention on are:
- Does it compile & install fine on your machine ?
- Do the REGEXes work ?
- Does the Xlogmaster catch logfile rotation or does it
stop reading ?
- Does the reconfiguration work ?
- Is the RUN mode stable and working the way you'd expect it to ?
About the Database:
- I supplied some demo files so you can see how things work... please
feel free to check it out (and stress it while doing so) - try to get
it to crash on the database and try to create your own entries... any
hints/suggestions/ideas about what is missing ?
- I'd like to find a smart way of supplying people with a reasonable
database at installation on all systems to chose from, so any ideas
about how to implement this in the distribution would be appreciated.
If you intend to supply some feedback (be blessed, my son/daughter), I
strongly suggest you subscribe to the betatesters mailinglist. For
details about how to subscribe please check out:
http://ww.gnu.org/software/xlogmaster/xlogmaster.html
Other ways you could help me improving the Xlogmaster would be
contributing to the documentation...
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION THAT WILL PROBABLY HAVE BUGS
AND MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEMS - DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE 100% STABLE AND
RELIABLE, I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY !!!

Georg C. F. Greve <greve@gnu.org>
