5 0.8.0 - Contributed Sendmail-parser
6 =====================================
7 - qMax has contributed a sendmail-parser. Thank you very much :)
11 0.7.3 - More bugs fixed
12 =========================
13 - A bug in the debug-system has been fixed: Data::Dumper would not be
14 loaded, though it might be neccessary in the selected debug-level.
15 - A bug with the disabling of persistency has been fixed. Thanks to qMax.
19 0.7.2 - Potential bug fixed
20 =============================
21 - The modules have been moved and rename, since a conflict with other
22 installed modules could appear in old versions of perl (<= 5.005).
28 - A bug in the persistency-code has been fixed: If the persistency-file
29 had to be created no checksum was included causing it to be overwritten
30 with the next run. The second run did set the checksum which is
31 propably why noone complained about this..
35 0.7.0 - Persistent data is here
36 =================================
37 - yaala now dumps it's data into a file and may use it in subsequent
38 runs. This way you don't have to keep all your old logfiles.
40 - A tiny fix allows yaala to run under Microsoft Windows.
44 0.6.8 - Workaround implemented
45 ================================
46 - A workaround for what seems to be a bug in some versions of Perl 5.8
51 0.6.7 - Some more cosmetics
52 =============================
53 - yaala now changes into it's own directory before execution. This is
54 useful for cron-scripts and the like.
56 - The config option ``print-graphs'' has been added for two reasons:
57 a) People who have GD::Graph installed can prevent yaala from
58 generating graphs now.
59 b) People who do neither have GD::Graph installed nor read the readme
60 will hopefully find this option and will get a detailed error
67 - A bug which would not let ``host_width'' to be set to zero (infinite
68 length) has been fixed. Thanks to Rafael Santiago for reporting it.
72 0.6.5 - More aggregations
73 ===========================
74 - More than one aggregation can be selected. This works with both, the
75 Combined and the Classic output module.
77 - Elapsed time (from the squid logfiles) is now being printed in
80 - The y-Axis of graphs is plotted in percent of the total now.
84 0.6.4 - Don't die on me, man!
85 ===============================
86 - yaala doesn't die anymore, if you select more than three fields with
87 the combined output module. An error message is printed instead.
89 - Empty cells are not printed any longer by default when using the
90 Classic output. You can re-enable this behavior with a config-option.
96 - Chimera has been renamed to Camino; MultiZilla and Safari have been
99 - The sub-indizes in the Classic output now provide a bit more
102 - A robots-metatag has been added to prevent search engines from indexing
107 0.6.2 - New/Old parser and bugfixes
108 =====================================
109 - The (old) bind9 parser has been fixed and works fine.
111 - A parser for the "xferlog" (used by wu-ftpd, proftpd and maybe other
114 - Selections with where-clauses should work better now.
118 0.6.1 - The return of the graphs
119 ==================================
120 - Support for GD::Graph is finally back again. yaala checks wether
121 GD::Graph is installed or not and behaves accordingly. You don't have
124 - All tables now print percentages as well.
126 - A parser for postfix entries in the maillog has been added.
128 - A bug in Data::Setup has been fixed. It wasn't possible to select more
129 than three keys with the Classic output module, which is perfectly
134 0.6.0 - New code, less bugs, less features
135 ============================================
136 - Huge parts of yaala's internals have been rewritten. The data-storage
137 is completely new and works better than in the 0.5.x line.
139 - General code cleanup. A lot of variables have been renamed.
141 - The debug-system has been unified.
143 - The Classic-output plugin emulates the ``old'' (0.4.x) output.
147 0.5.4 - Patches by qMax
148 =========================
149 - Input Module for method file:// has been added.
153 - Changes in qmax.css
157 0.5.3 - Reverse lookups
158 =========================
159 - Ability of reverse lookups has been added.
161 - Browsers and OSes are recognized better. The code should also be faster
166 0.5.2 - Now comes the command line
167 ====================================
168 - Every option from the config file has been made available from the
171 - The recognition of Windows 2000 has been fixed.
175 0.5.1 - Changes in config-reading and -parsing
176 ================================================
177 - config-reading and -parsing have been moved out of the main program and
178 into lib/Config.pm. Modules have been updated.
180 - The config syntax has changed slightly. See POD in lib/Config.pm
182 - webserver.config has been created.
184 - A bug in lib/parser/Ncsa.pm has been fixed.
186 - WebserverTools::detect_referer has been rewritten.
190 0.5.0 - yaala in the metamorphosis
191 ====================================
194 - Modules use the Exporter mechanismn now to import subroutines and
195 variables. Renamed modules in the process.
197 - Output is nearly XHTML kompliant. I'm working towards total XHTML 1.1
200 - Added logo.png, dot-dark.png, dot-light.png
202 - Removed logo.gif, dot0.gif, dit1.gif
204 - Added new stylesheet and set as default. The old stylesheet has been
205 renamed to "qmax.css"
207 - Graphics cannot be generated with this release. This option might come
208 back in some later release.
210 - Recognition of nimbda/codered attacks has been removed.
212 - few obvious bugs found but not yet fixed. See TODO.

219 Removed 'color' options - and defined them in html/style.css;
220 Made preserving spaces, semicolons and capital letters in quoted
221 config parameters (for date/time formats and filenames);
222 Added 'is_list' options to preserve order of parameter appearence
223 (for 'select' directive).

237 Several supplemental scripts. Like that, simulating passing
238 comand line parameters to yaala, processing batch reports,
242 Contains *.gif and style.css - a thin cyan document style.
245 Default directory for reports.
246 I suggest to do not use html to avoid occasional remove of
247 *.gifs and style.css.
248 Actually, 'reports' should be symlink to some www directory.
251 Placed all (new) modules here.
254 Placed all old modules there.
257 Directory for parser modules.
258 TODO: parsers should pass month/date/time as UNIX-time
259 to make them properly sorted and formated.
260 Currently they should work w/out i18n handling
264 A pair of common output utilities.
265 Only to generate common HTML head and foot.
266 Common header contains stylesheet link
267 and optional META http-equiv with charset.

311 natively for selected configuration.
315 Common part for report modules. Namespaced.
316 Contains setup and table-generation subroutines.
317 Features for crossreferenced tables.
318 POD documented inside.
320 NB: all tables generated, except top-page index,
321 contain borders to be viewable in links the browser.
322 Lynx takes a rest anyway.
324 * lib/report/combined.pm
325 Generates combined reports: 1D, 2D, 3Dimentional.

334 0.4.2 - Added BIND9 support
335 =============================
336 - David Augros sent me a parser for BIND9 logfiles which I added.. Easy
337 tasks get done quick ;)
341 0.4.1 - security hole fixed
342 =============================
343 - An exploidable "bug" was fixed: It was possible to fake the referer to
344 contain HTML and/or JavaScript code which would show up in the generated
345 file(s) and eventually would be interpreted by the browser.
346 Thanks to Liviu Daia (Liviu.Daia@imar.ro) for the hint :)
350 0.4 - netacct and wnserver support
351 ====================================
352 - Two new parsers provide netacct and wnserver support.
353 Thanks to M. Feenstra for the wnserver support.
355 - The parser modules now have to initialize their data structure before they
356 start parsing. This allows for different types of logfiles to be supported.
357 The data-structures understood are:
358 count: Count each appearance of a unique value (eg. Browser, Date, etc)
359 sum: Build the sum of all the (numeric) values. (eg. Package Count)
360 byte: Basically the same as sum, but print as a byte-value
362 - Use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in the HTML output. Results are smaller
363 files and the source is easier to read.
365 - You can specify a directory to create the output files in.
366 Be sure to copy logo.gif, dot0.gif and dot1.gif into this directory!
370 0.3 - Clean(er) code and squid support
371 ========================================
372 - The modules are now a lot cleaner and easier to understand. Various routines
373 have been moved and renamed so the namespaces are used in a more organizing
376 - There's a new input (parse) module for squid logfiles.
378 - The routines which save the data in a huge hash have been altered so they
379 don't depend on the type of data that is parsed at all. This was neccessary
380 in order go get squid to work.
382 - The graph module now generates PNG graphics; it's configuration hash was
383 moved into the main configuration.
385 - The main page has some stats about CodeRed and and Nimba attacks now. You may
386 choose to not include these requests in your stats..
388 - Correction of some regexps and therefore (hopefully) a better performance.
392 0.2 - More modules - more comfort
393 ===================================
394 - The structure is now _very_ modular
396 - A config file makes customization really easy
398 - Apache's access-logs and NCSA-conform logfiles now understood
400 - Another module provides another look (Top10)
402 - CHANGELOG looks nicer ;)
404 - Some changes in the makegraph.pm make the graphs look a lot better now.
408 0.1 - Initial version
409 =======================
412 - Parsing of multiple files
414 - Support for apache's combined-log-format
416 - Modular structure provides an easy way to code support for other formats.
