07/11/2000 v2.1.8
- Made some corrections in Syslogd's help documentation.
- Fixed a bug in Syslogd that could cause some of the default log definitions to be read even though the preferences were supposed to override the defaults.
- Fixed some minor memory bugs in Syslogd.
- Fixed quite a few memory related bugs in Syslogd Admin.
- The Timbuktu conflict seems to have been resolved. Update:
It seems that 2.1.8 fixes the crash conflict with TB2, but
now Syslogd will stop accepting messages when TB2 is installed.
04/17/2000 v2.1.7
- Added support for non-standard messages to Syslogd and Syslogd Admin.
- Completely updated and re-written help. Integrated with Mac OS Help
system in OS 8.5 and above.

report repeated messages.
- Fixed a bug in Syslogd that would cause messages where
the message text started immediately after the host name to be dropped.
03/21/2000 v2.1.6
- Minor performance enhancements.
- Fixed a bug that would cause multiple accesses to low memory.
- Fixed a bug that would cause log file corruption when ASIP verbose
logging was active.

- Added support for the Quit AppleEvent.
01/14/2000 v2.1.5

connected to fast networks.
- Fixed some minor memory leaks in Syslogd Admin
- Syslogd Admin will now remember the last tab selected between launches.
12/11/99 v2.1.4 Syslogd Admin

go into an infinite loop on quit.

- Incoming network messages are now validated.
- Fixed a bug in Syslogd that would cause the last character of messages not terminated with a line-feed to be overwritten.
- Fixed a bug in both Syslogd and Syslogd Admin that would cause them to mis-detect the Folder Manager under systems older than 8.0.
- Fixed a long standing bug in Syslogd that would cause the local hostname to be blank if the Macintosh name was not set in the File Sharing Control Panel.
- Fixed a bug in Syslogd that caused the interval between --MARK-- messages to be miscalculated.
- Fixed a very weird and rare bug in Syslogd, that would cause some messages to be missed. In particular, some messages after --MARK-- messages would be missed.
- Syslogd Admin will now alert you if Syslogd cannot be started (either by clicking the Start Server or Restart Server buttons in the Server Control tab). Syslogd Admin should have done this all along, so I considered it a bug.
- Bumped the network message buffer up to 1514 bytes, which is the standard frame size for an Ethernet network.
- The network client functionality is now configurable. In older versions, when you activated networking, you activated both the server and client functionality. In v2.1.4 you must explicitly turn on the client functionality in the Network Options tab of Syslogd Admin.
