Key changes are some bug fixes, better support for win32 buids and a complete rewrite of the communication interfaces... Also, for the first, time, I repacked a debian package for the armel archicteture. So if you are runnign a NSLU or Thecus N2100 with debian, this is for you. coldtobi To quote the changelog: (0.11 was not released, so the changes from 0.10 to 0.12 are given) solarpowerlog (0.12) unstable; urgency=low    * Communication is now done asynchronous instead of polling.      This should improve the timing accuracy, as well laying the      preparing for a"daisy-chain-commmunications-module"    * Added a simple simulator to enable debugging at night    * FTBFS fixed when lib4logcxx was unavailable    * New parameter "--version"    * CVSDumper: Bugfix for Win32, "Won't open file"    * Fixing a build error on newer boost libraries    * Autotools: Fix for Win32: liblog4cxx depends on apr and needs also to      link in this library. This was not seen on linux.    * Autotools: Added missing m4 macros    * Autotools fix: now autotools will also run under win32 to generate the      configure script    * Many other tweaks and code rewrites....  -- Tobias Frost <tobi@coldtobi.de>  Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:11:25 +0200 solarpowerlog (0.11-unreleased) unstable; urgency=low   * Sputniks' error recovery did not work sometimes   * Components of the programm can now be selectivly choosen at compile time     to reduce the amount of required external libraries and memory footprint.   * Solved a bug with the logging levels.  -- Tobias Frost <tobi@coldtobi.de>  Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:38:46 +0200 News 2009-12-06T18:52:08Z coldtobi Version 0.1 released http://solarpowerlog.coldtobi.de/7_solarpowerlog/archive/269_version_01_released.html The new version can now store the data in a more convenient file format: CVS. The CVSOutputFilter can dump all or a selection of informations to a specified file, which will be (if configured) rotated automatically at midnight.
