"Suppress Duplicated Messages was enabled". This caused the index page
to timeout once a duplicated message was hit.
- Fixed that filters were ignored when exporting results to cvs/xml
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.20 (beta), 2008-11-19
- Fixed a performance issue in the logstream db and pdo drivers when

- The detail page hides empty fields now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.16 (beta), 2008-10-27
- Fixed a problem when adding a mysql logstream source. Due a problem of
how php mysql_connect function handels second conenctions, the Verify
of a newly added logstream source could cause the first database
connection to be overwritten. The following error is, that the wrong
database was used for the UserDB after the new logstream was verified.
- Added a check into the redirect function to STOP redirecting if an
error happens in the UserDB.
- Fixed minor issues handling form input which happened when
magic_quotes_gpc was enabled.
- Fixed a bug in the convert.php script which inserted the wrong
database version number. This caused phpLogCon to force an database
upgrade which is not needed at all.
- Added dummy db update scripts, so the db upgrade script won't fail
in future. This is for the case when the db version is not correctly
or missing in the user database.
- Added support to filter for dynamic fields within the logstream
database sources. This was not possible yet. The filtering also has a
secure end timer, which avoids that the timelimit hits the script.
- Added support to suppress unparseable messages when using msgparsers.
This enhances useability if you have mixed data sources, and want to
filter out unparseable messages.
- Added new setting for MYSQL logstream sources to control the amount
of data per query. This value can be used to tweak the MYSQL
performance. For example when filtering for fields which are generated
by a message parser, highering the value does improve the database
performance. The default value is 100, and should only be changed if
you know what you are doing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.15 (beta), 2008-10-22
- Corrected the check for magic_quotes_gpc which is important when saving

- Added support for fully customizeable fields. This includes a fields
admin with possibility to customize width and alignment of fields,
and add new custom ones.
- Added new table into user database to support the custom fields. This
requires a database upgrade.

on the parsers as well as the option to import necessary custom fields
for the message parsers.
- Overall simplified code related to field definitions and types.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

incorrect redirect login page during install.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.11 (beta), 2008-09-25
- Fixed the "next page" button when a logstream disk source was used.
The "next page" button stopped working as a side effect of some
performance changes made in the last version.
- Added new description field for logstream sources. If the description
field is used, the description is shown below the pager on the
main index site. The database version has also been incremented, this
only affects you if you are using the user system.

you need to use the "iis" or "apache2" message parser in your disk
sources.
- Added a new page called "asktheoracle.php" which will be automatically
linked on IP's and domain names. It is a simple helper page which
creates a bunch of usefull filter links.

that the script is suddenly stopped by the php interpreter.
- Fixed a sorting bug in the disk logstream, which removed numeric
values in the charts
- Added support to filter for a + character as well now. In order to filter
for strings containing the + character, just add replace it with ++.
A single + will still be equal to a space character in the filter engine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.8 (devel), 2008-09-16

formatted syslog messages should now be correctly splitted into their
fields.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.6 (devel), 2008-09-03
- Implemented Message Parser facility. This new extendable facility of
phpLogCon helps splitting messages into fields. And the fields can
be filtered and searched for, this expands the full potential of
phpLogCon. A message parser for windows eventlog logfiles generated
by Adiscon products is included.
- Linebreaks within messages are now displayed in the popup window,
and the detail page.
- Added Database Upgrade functionalety, the reason is simple, because
there was an update to the database structure. If you are using the

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.3 (devel), 2008-08-05
- Added support to export the current visible events into a XML or CSV
file. If you have further recommendations for useful export file
formats, just let us know in the phpLogCon forums or mailinglist.
- Extended Filter Engine to support Full and Partial Text searches on
string fields. The submenu buttons also now use the Full Text search
by default, which performs much better on database logstream sources.
- A new menu entry on each value on each field in the main EventView
gives you the option to search for this field only, or extend an
existing filterset.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.5.2 (devel), 2008-08-01
- General Options are now configureable on user basis, if UserDB System
is installed of course. This means first, phpLogCon used the global
