From Version 2.2.5 on, the configuration file entries

User = ...
Group = ...

have been changed to

Usr = ...
Grp = ...

in order not to conflict with the new "Group = ..." option which is used by 
hierarchical logbooks.

I noticed the site has been updated as far as the documentation for 2.3.1, 
however the latest version in the downloads section is 2.3.0, any other 
places where I can get 2.3.1

Cheers

Patience, patience! 2.3.1 is currently kind of in "beta" version, but will be 
released this week. Not that you can always get the latest snapshot from the 
CVS tree at

Stefan, 
We are interested in using your ELOG (which we consider to be a wonderful 
application) even more. We would like to make a few adaptations in your 
source code, above all to add some functionality that we are missing.

I was wondering if there is a way we could coordinate the development 
together. For instance, would it be of your interest to receive the code 
adaptations we do and implement it in your future releases? 

To be more specific, for the moment we are really interested in 
implementing the SHELL script execution on the server (I noticed it is in 
your wishlist).

Best regards,

Tomas Rudolf

Sure, I'm very interested in those and ready to merge it into the main 
development tree.

Thanx for your quick answer.
I'll keep you updated as we move ahead with the development.

To obtain the newest source code of ELOG, go to the CVS repository at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src

It contains usually the newest bug fixes, which will show up in the next 
realease. On the other hand it can also contain some new features, which 
are not yet fully tested, so care should be taken when using it. The 
revision comments usually explain what is new in that revision.

We use ELOG 2.3.5 for Windows with a German language file and have found 


some new problems:




. Certain strings are not translated.


Language error: string "Plese log on by clicking on following link and 


change your password" not found for language "de"


Language error: string "A new password for user <i>"%s"</i> has been sent 


to %s" not found for language "de"




While the first string is obviously written wrong, the second one misses a 


quotation mark.






. If a user uses the new "password forgotten" function, he receives an 


email, but after having clicked the URL in the mail, he gets the following 


error message as simple text, i.e. not formatted by use of the CSS file:




Invalid URL: Notizen/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange%20password%26old_pwd%


3DE3ARcjI/&uname=sal&upassword=E3ARcjI/ 


Bitte benutzen Sie die Zurück-Taste Ihres Browsers ...  




Nevertheless the new password was written into the specified password file. 


(This behaviour as far as we know was also with earlier versions of ELOG.)






. If one could not log in through the button "Login", one does not receive 


an error message, but will be pushed simply back to the main page, 


status "Not logged in". (This was as far as we know was also with earlier 


versions of ELOG.)








. If you want to change as an admin the passwords of several users, it 


would be convenient, to get always back to the page, where you may choose 


the next user ... but you will be pushed back to the main page with the 


messages. (This was as far as we know was also with earlier versions of 


ELOG.)








. But the simple change of passwords for users does not always succeed: I 


have changed the password for a user A to "anuvis", the next user B should 


have gotten the same new password, but this time it was not accepted. 


Message "Wrong password". Might it be, that this goes only once because of 


an initialisation problem ? I had to edit the password file manually.








. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 


logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 


password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 


window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 


user name.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 


see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.


Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This 


problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.




In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.






. NOWRAP tag in Date column


The date column takes quite a lot of space in the logs overview. As the 
information is only of secondary importance I would prefer date and time 
being wrapped like e.g. the contributors name. Of course, I could help 
myself with a 
 in my language file, but this would force a break also 
on 
the single message view.
