You first have to stop the running elogd server, then replace the executable,
then restart the server.

I replaced the "back" link with a "list" link, hope that this makes now more sense.

Great, but what's the corresponding URL for the RSS feed itself

IE 6 chokes on the XML, below is what I get for 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf
(sorry this is in french).
So I assume all rss reader parsing the file with the MS XML parser shall also 
have a problem, this is the case with Avant Browser integrated RSS reader.

Cheer,

The problems came from the French accents and the German umlauts. I changed the XML
charset, so this should be fine now. New version is under CVS.

stunnel is kind of a deprecated feature. Better use the SSL proxy of Apache,
as written in the elog admin guide. If someone else figures out how to use the
more revent stunnel, I'm willing to update the documentation.

Hi, we are using ELOG for keeping track of a server maintainance.  I've
translated some of ELOG's strings.  The file is attached.  There will be
more translations, when I get inspired again ;-)

I needed the export feature and could not find documentation on it in the latest 
version. I finally read the code and added Find Menu Text = <filename>
where filename had the tags XML, CSV1, and CSV2
This always exports all records. Shouldn't it just export the records appearing in 
the window?
Also, there is a CSV Import menu item, why isn't there CSV Export? Or just Export 
with radio buttons controlling the format.
(BTW, the XML export is not valid. Internet Explorer complains about the first line)

Great Software. Love it. Keep up the good work!
