1.0 - 2000-??-??
- Initial release.
2.0 - 2001-??-??
- Added referencing capability
- Various bugfixes
2.2 - 2002-??-??
- Added day navigation links at top of screen to replace forward and
back buttons.
- Added printer friendly functionality.
- Various bugfixes.
3.0 - 2005-03-12
- Total redesign of pages.
- Replaced day navigation links with clickable calendar.
- Improved search page by putting the search criteria and results on
the same page.
- Made various notices and error messages consistent.
- Simplified reference chain display on main page by removing
referenced note numbers and adding a magnifying glass icon
that takes you to the reference chain page. Referenced note
numbers still available on reference chain page.
- Added a plus sign icon to the note on the main page and reference
chain page so that you don't have to go to the edit page to
add a note referencing the current note.
- Many, many, many code cleanups.
- Now works with standard php configuration. No longer requires
register_globals to be turned on.
- simplified the printer friendly functionality.
- Added link management functionality.
3.1 - 2005-03-28
- Fixed bug where the footer message was not being displayed.
- Fixed bug that caused the contents of some fields in tables to be
halfway down the field (and possibly off-screen and not
visible) when the contents of other fields were very long.
- Fixed bug where links show up on the printer friendly main page.
3.2 - 2005-03-30
- Fixed inconsistent prompt text on search page.
- Fixed problem of whitespace characters at beginning and end of
search text being included in the where clause resulting in
no results returned.
- Fixed incorrect version number on about page.
- Moved openlog.sql into the utilities directory with all the other
one-time use stuff. Updated docs accordingly.
3.3 - 2005-06-02
- Fixed printer friendly pages so they do not show the navigation and
forms. This prevents the note column from being compressed to
just a few characters wide when printed.
3.4 - 2007-01-04
- Fixed bug where items in dropdown lists were displayed in some
random order. Now they are shown in the order they were added
on the administration page.
- Fixed bug where the reference links on the reference chain page
didn't work. They took you to the search page, which was
redundant and produced "no notes match criteria" message.
Links in references column now take you to the edit page
for the linked note.
- Added a security classification banner function that displays an
appropriately colored and labeled banner at the top and
bottom of all pages that display anything from the database.
Banner is controlled in the config.php file.
3.5 - 2008-01-02
- Added a time field to the database. It works like the date, i.e.,
it automatically fills with the current time of the database
server, but may be changed on the add entry and edit pages if
desired. YOU MUST RUN THE dbupdate-3.5.sql UTILITY AS
DESCRIBED IN THE UPGRADE FILE OR YOUR
PAGES WILL NOT DISPLAY CORRECTLY! Your database will not be
damaged if you omit this step, but the logbook will not be
much use. If you are installing OpenLog for the first time,
you will not need to run the update utility, since the initial
database creation takes care of it.
3.6 - 2008-01-30
- The timestamp field added in version 3.5 was not universally popular.
Added an option to the config file to select whether to show it
on the main page (it will still be inserted into the database
and remain editable).
- Added a configurable logbook name. You can now set the name of the
logbook in the config file so if you are running multiple
logbooks, you'll know which one you're looking at.
- Added options in the config file to determine the displayed order
of employee names and subject names.
4.0 - 2008-02-20
- Moved all configuration from a file (config.php) to a table in the
database. Added a configuration page so that all configuration
can be done in the web browser.
- Techs can now tell OpenLog to remember who they are using a browser
cookie. Techs can set their current shift, and the Add Entry
page will preselect the tech and shift. Also added a
customization page so that each tech can have their own color
scheme, etc.
- Created an installation shell script that automates the task of
getting the distribution in the right place in the filesystem
with the correct file ownership.
- Created a php installation/upgrade routine that detects whether the
distribution has been configured and prompts for the database
name/logbook name etc. OpenLog either sets up a new
installation or upgrades an existing configuration without the
user having to deal with command prompt stuff.
4.1 - 2008-02-26
- Fixed copyright dates in all files.
- Fixed bug where backslashes appeared in notes on systems where
magic_quotes_gpc was turned on.
- Fixed bug where custom tech name was inserted on new or edited
notes even when another tech name was selected.
- Fixed install.sh script to not show hostname in url in final
instructions since it was not reliable.
- Fixed bug where timestamps for notes entered for past or future
dates were set to the time the note was entered. This made
notes entered last night appear after notes made this morning
on the main page.
- Trimmed all text files (including this one;-) to 80 columns so they
wouldn't produce wierd line spacing on terminal displays.
4.2 - 2008-03-08
- Fixed About page to accurately describe configuration changes.
- URLs entered as http://domain.com are automatically converted to
clickable links in the note text.
- Added configuration setting to control the size of chunks to break
long url strings into, preventing a long url from distorting
the page.
- Reversed the chronological order of the CHANGELOG file so the
newest stuff is at the top.
4.3 - 2013-03-15
- Fixed install.sh script to make it detect the httpd process name
and user instead of using hardcoded values.
5.0 - 2015-08-10
- Reworked install.sh script to remove web server version specific
defaults.
- Added install.bat script to handle installation on Windows servers.
- Added PHP sessions to enable tech logins and privilege separation.
- Added maintenance form and parts tracking functionality.
- Added the ability to set flags for notes and maintenance forms.
- Improved search capability.
5.1 - 2015-11-17
- Added scheduled maintenance functionality.
5.1.1 - 2016-01-28
- Various bugfixes
5.2.0 - 2016-10-18
- Use jquery-ui for calendaring functions
- Replaced deprecated php functions split() and ereg*() with
explode() and preg*() functions to make OpenLog compatible
with php 7.
- Added a field to the logentry page to allow the user to insert a
properly formatted URL into a note.
5.2.1 - 2024-07-09
- Removed install.php and moved installation/upgrade process to
install.sh shell script with default database files and a db.php
template file.
- Various compatibility fixes to make OpenLog work with php-8.x.
5.2.2 - 2025-02-26
- Removed corrupt line from the beginning of database-initial.sql
that caused the population of the database to fail during
install. Upgrades not affected.
- Changed functions.php so that the application uses a sans-serif
font by default.
5.2.3 - 2025-12-01
- In lognotes.php, get today's data from the database instead of the
php date() function, since that had returned tomorrow's date in
some instances.
- In logentry.php, only run parts code if parts functionality is
enabled. This prevents a fatal php error that occurred when
trying to get the max value of an empty array.
- In settings.php, the LOG_ERRORS constant was not being read
properly. Assigned its value to a variable to be used in the if
statement.
5.2.4 - 2025-12-02
- In logentry.php, the parts bug from 5.2.2 was only partially
fixed. Made the corrections to the edit code as well as the
new entry.
- In logentry.php, the default times for notes entered using dates
other than today's date contained a trailing coln that mysql
didn't like. Removed trailing colons.
- Cleaned up the REQUEST importation in multiple files to default to
NULL values for parameters not supplied to prevent warning
messages in the logs.
- In the install.sh script, removed the prompts for optional package
installation. Code is still there, just turned off by default.
