ha! a lot HAS been changing. damn. you are right. how did i miss that fundamental change to the log {} section. ???
It got changed fairly recently.
there was another post by someone else on this list a while back about latest CVS being more quiet than the old. perhaps this needs to be highlighted a little better - perhaps have somehting in the startup parser that can detect these old legacy configs and spew out a warning?
I just updated the code so that the parsing of entries is re-arranged a bit. It means that old configurations with "log_foo" will still use *those* definitions. So other people with the same kind of config won't suddenly see the logs get quieter.
we havea small oddity
log_destination = files
surely this should also be cleared into the log {} stanza? eg
Likely, yes.
log { destination = files }
sorry for the false alert and thanks for the pointer/tip to getting this little issue sorted.
It's a usability issue that was easy to fix. Alan DeKok.
