Version 2.5.0 of ELOG has been released yesterday. The main new feature is 
the automatic mirroring of logbooks between different elog servers. 

This is useful if one wants to synchronize logbooks between a desktop PC 
and a laptop, for example. During synchronization, new or modified entries 
on both sides are merged intelligently. Another application is if several 
companies or institutes want to keep a ELOG database locally, but have the 
databases synchronized periodically with each other. Periodic mirroring 
can be set up with a built in cron-like facility. 

Although the synchronization has been tested extensively, I still consider 
this part in beta state. Before using it, one should make a backup of 
existing logbooks. The flag "Mirror simulate" can be used to test the 
mirroring without actually overwriting or deleting anything. If problems 
arise with mirroring, they should be reported to the author.

Localization files have been updated, so if anybody volunteers to update 
or make a new translation, please contact the author.

I just noticed the problem of mail notification with big attachments. For a
files or photos exchange setup we could run into load and bandwidth problem
quickly. Any way to restrict mail notification by attributes or without
attachment?

Thanks,
nait.

Use

Email format = 6

to restrict email notifications to URL and attributes only (without
attachment). A size limit for email notifications is right now not implemented.

Thanks... Email format = 6 works. It cut out the subject too.
Any documentation on Email Format = ??
Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

It has a bug. The filter will fail on the initial page of the logbook. 

example,

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/  
when select category filter the system will return
      http://10.10.10.10:10/myylogbook/&category=hardware which is bad

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page or page1/page2 etc..other then the initial page,
when select category filter the system return the correct result.
      http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page?category=hardware.

I have not tested 2.5.3.

nait.

Agree. The only potential problem is that if this value becomes too big, you
will get a stack overflow from time to time. So best is experiment yourself a
bit. A avlue of 150 or so should be no problem.

Hi Stefan,

The parsing now seems OK, IE downloads the XML and the RSS reader of Avant 
Browser 
accepts the feed. 
I still have a problem however : below the header, only the first 3 items 
are displayed and it seems only partially.
I included the HTML result so you can "visualize" what's going on (this may 
also be on the avant browser side !).

Cheers,
Marc

Is there any way to include the text of a log message in the CSV export? 
Anyway to include a pointer to the attachment?
