New Code!
Savelogs has, after an interval of only about 5 years, been updated to version 1.4. 1.4 does some fairly substantial changes to the way that logfiles are archived; I've changed to numbered archives instead of dotted archives, and have added code that lets me switch the archived logfiles from dots to revision numbers, putting the revision numbers at the start or at the end of the archive file, and compression of the archived files.
All of these settable things are switched by settings in the savelogs.conf file, as follows:
- set dots
- Use the old-style o. prefix instead of numbered prefixes.
- set suffix
- Append the archive versions instead of prefixing. (file.o instead of o.file)
- set compression
- Compress the archive with gzip or compress (whichever is found first)
None of this is documented in the webpage, alas, because I'm switching version control systems there and I can't currently update pages. But it's still New Code!, even if it is on a very leisurely update schedule.
