Unix-Syslog - Changes

-- mode: text --

Revision history for Perl extension Unix::Syslog. 1.1 Sun May 18 21:13:38 2007

Released version 1.1.
Clearly marked MSWin32 systems as unsupported. (How do 64bit Windows system identify themselves?)
Fixed bug that caused Perl to segfault when closelog() was called before openlog().

1.0 Tue Oct 2 22:22:43 2007

Bumped version number to 1.0.
License has changed to Artistic 2.0!
(Syslog.pm) Get rid of `require AutoLoader', which was wrong to begin with.

0.100 Wed Aug 28 17:09:37 2002

(test.pl) Major changes due to complete misunderstanding of eval()
(Syslog.pm) Updated version number
(Makefile.PL) Cleanup

0.99 Wed Aug 14 21:05:43 2002

Added functions priorityname() and facilityname().
Updated docs.

0.98 Tue Jan 22 22:24:39 2002

(Syslog.pm) Instead of quoting percent-signs in syslog()-wrapper, simply pass the string to libc-syslog() as string argument via %s. Reported by Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>.
(Syslog.xs) When calling libc-syslog() internally, pass message as string argument, not as format string.

          Copy ident-argument using some Perl-API functions. Just
          using a reference counter had unwanted
          side-effects. Reported by Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>.
        
        - (TODO) Declared only plan for extending Unix::Syslog for
          unfeasable with current versions of Perl.

        - Renamed distribution archive to Unix-Syslog-<version>. I
          just discovered the `tardist' target in the Makefile :^)

0.97 Wed Dec 12 03:39:15 2001

(Syslog.pm) Updated version number.
(Syslog.xs) Increase openlog()'s ident argument reference counter, in order to achieve correct behaviour in case openlog()'s first argument is a function call. Reported by David Landgren.
(test.pl) Check that the changes to Syslog.xs actually work.

0.96 Tue Sep 25 01:17:00 2001

(test.pl) Add tests to clarify meaning of LOG_MASK and LOG_UPTO.

0.95 Wed Feb 07 21:43:00 2001

(Syslog.pm) Fixed a message formatting bug in the syslog() wrapper (reported by Eric Kuzniar <kuzniar@server.airchek.com> and partly fixed by Mike DeVaynes <mike@radon.com>). Multiple expansion (sprintf,syslog) of format string and arguments, in some cases resulted in malformed messages.
(test.pl) Added some tests related to that bug fix
(README) Added some details about the test suite.

0.94 Sun Aug 20 23:25:00 2000

(Makefile.PL) Added '-lc' to LIBS which seems to be necessary to compile Unix::Syslog on NEC EWS4800 machines (reported by Oota Toshiya <oota@ppd.fc.nec.co.jp>).
(Syslog.pm) Fixed severe bug in documentation of setlogmask() and the according macros.
(README) FAQ synched with pod section in Syslog.pm

0.93 Wed Mar 15 19:20:40 2000

Changed author's e-mail address to <marcus.harnisch@gmx.net>
