Decoding HTML (or ELCode which translates to HTML) in the summary field is difficult, since the text is 
truncated. 
Assume you have some code like

Text
<b>Text
  <i>Text
----- cut here
</i>
</b>

Sot he bold <b> and italics <i> tags are opened, but closed after the cutting line. In that case the whole page 
might render wrongly, because everything after the summary text will be displayed in bold and italics. To fix this I 
would have to scan the HTML code and close all open tags "by hand". But since there are very many possibilities, 
especially if one used multi-column tables, this is almost impossible without writing my own HTML parser which is 
beyond the scope of elog. So the only clean solution I have found so far is to strip off all HTML formatting and 
just showing plain text there.

That would be a lot of effort for very little gain. I appreciate your detailed response. 

Thank you,

'Date' attributes can only be between 1970 and 2037, since I use internally the
unix time format. I added a test so future versions will complain and not crash
when the date is outside that range.

If you need dates before 1970, don't use the 'Date' format, simply use strings.

That bug has been fixed recently, please update to the newest version.

The ELOG service have to registered again.

The SMPT host may not be right, but ELOG should not crash just for that.

It should says something like "Can not find SMTP server", etc.


I have fixed that in SVN revision 1541.

Hi,

-> Anybody click on "Forgot password?" in the login screen, to have the system
send him the forgotten password, and after a little while trying, (possibly doing
resolution) the ELOG application crashes.

I think I have the same problem with the Linux version (2.6.0). Is there going to be a fix for that version as well?

Cheers,
Dimitris

A fix is always for all versions, since I have a common code base. Have you tried Version 2.6.1?

I got the RPM last week, from the download page. When I run without the -D option it says that it is Version 2.6.0. Since a new version came out in the meantime, I'll give it a try and let you know.

Thanks,
