|
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.
|
|
|
|
5.2.4.1 - 2025-12-10
|
|
- Fixed bug in search.php where "Print search results" link on the
|
|
search results page resulted in the printable page not showing
|
|
any results. This was due to a php fatal error caused by passing
|
|
a non-array as the second argument of the php in_array()
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
5.2.4.2 - 2025-12-11
|
|
- Fixed other bugs caused by passing a non-array as the second
|
|
argument of the php in_array() function in various files.
|
|
|
|
5.2.4.3 - 2025-12-16
|
|
- Various problems were noted resulting from php's use of UTC as the
|
|
default timezone. Now, on installation or upgrade, the installer
|
|
gets the correct timezone from the system and sets it as a php
|
|
option in a .htaccess file in the install location. This solves
|
|
multiple problems and allows today's date and the current time
|
|
to be determined from the php date() function as part of the
|
|
settings.php once per page load instead of having to query the
|
|
database multiple times per page load. Also added the option to
|
|
allow apache to read the .htaccess file to the <Directory>
|
|
section of the application's conf file in
|
|
/etc/apache2/conf-available
|
|
- Renamed the installer's db.php_update.sh script to files-update.sh
|
|
to reflect that it now can do more than just modify the db.php
|
|
file. For this version, it's used to modify the apache conf file
|
|
mentioned earlier.
|
|
- Completely removed the optional package prompting/installation
|
|
code from install.sh. This is best done using separate
|
|
installers.
|
|
|
|
5.2.4.4 - 2025-12-19
|
|
- Fixed bugs that caused crashes on the Scheduled Maintenance page
|
|
that were caused by more strict behavior of php regarding mysql
|
|
queries.
|
|
- Fixed bug where some functions defined in functions.php were not
|
|
treating the $today variable as global.
|
|
- In install.php, if a previous installation was found, make upgrade
|
|
the default choice.
|
|
|
|
5.2.5 - 2026-02-10
|
|
This is just a version number bump to get on a major-minor-patch
|
|
scheme. There are no code changes for this release.
|
|
|
|
5.3.0 - 2026-02-20
|
|
- Moved the template Create/Copy/Edit/Delete/Rename functionality to
|
|
its own page to make it less confusing and to fix some strange
|
|
behavior.
|
|
- Added global templates which can be used by anyone but can only be
|
|
created, modified, or deleted by administrators. This makes it
|
|
easier to employ standardized templates.
|
|
- Changed the character encoding of the database to utf8mb4 to enable
|
|
using emojis in text fields.
|
|
- Changed the insert link functionality. There are now two fields, link
|
|
text, and URL. The full URL string will now not be displayed in the
|
|
note, since it frequently was too long and deformed the table,
|
|
causing the user to have to scroll right to see the entire note. If
|
|
a URL is entered in the URL field and no link text is entered in the
|
|
link text field, the link will show up as just the last part of the
|
|
URL. For example, "http://somewhere.com/myfile.pdf" will show as
|
|
"myfile.pdf" in the note text. If text is entered in the link text
|
|
field, that is what will show as the clickable link in the note text.
|
|
NOTE: URLs in previously entered notes will not automatically be
|
|
converted.
|
|
- Changed the flag handling code to no longer dynamically create flag_
|
|
tables in the database to track assignments. This is now done using
|
|
a flagmap table.
|
|
NOTE: The database will be modified to support this and the
|
|
importation of the previous data will take some time during
|
|
installation.
|
|
- References will no longer be stored in the lognotes table with the note.
|
|
There is now a reflinks table that stores the link information.
|
|
NOTE: The database will be modified to support this and the
|
|
importation of the previous data will take some time during
|
|
installation.
|
|
- Various code cleanups to prevent php warnings in the logs if logging
|
|
is enabled.
|
