icon1.gif   elconv deletes everything, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:49:37 2015 
Converting from elog 2.9.something to new elog 3.1.0 elogd refuses to start, instructs running elconv in one logbook.

When I do so, elconv converts a existing mhttpd-style elog entries to the new format (the corresponding new-format entries already exist)

this elog gives errors sending mail through PSI email server. (did not capture the error messages, sorry). K.O.

this elog offers me to edit a draft message, then yells at me "only some other user can edit this draft!!!".
methinks I should only be offered to edit draft messages that I own or I can edit. K.O.

elogd 3.1.0 moves all elog entries into year-named subdirectories. this feature makes it incompatible with older elogs and so should be clearly mentioned
in the documentation,
in the release announcement and in the release and migration notes. K.O.

icon1.gif   Cannot download large attachments, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Tue Jul 14 19:29:17 2015 
Older versions of elogd have a problem with sending long attachements - the send() syscall is not protected against interrupt by SIGALARM. This seems to
be fixed in non-SSL builds of current elog (version 3+), 
but for SSL builds, the error handling for the SSL_write() function looks incorrect. In addition, from OpenSSL documentation it is not clear if SSL_write()
