+ - Cleanup abuse records only for subnets smaller than /16.
+
+gcm_daemon
+-----------
+
+ - Resolve a hostname before adding to the abuses.
+
+Database
+---------
+

+
+
+Dec 12, 2007 - Release 0.0.12
+====================================
+
+gcm_input
+---------
+
+- New options added for logrunner:
+ -l <file>: Read input from logfile <file>.
+ -s <file>: Use <file> as the status file instead of the default.
+ -v Verbose output
+
+- Logrunner outputs debug information only when the -v option
+ is added on the command line.
+
+- Buffer overflow problem in logrunner with input lines of more than 4096
+ characters fixed.
+
+gcm_daemon
+-----------
+
+- Added a new script gcm_maintenance.php to cleanup the database
+ and check referential integrity. Purging old log entries is
+ removed from the gcm_daemon script.
+
+web interface
+-------------
+
+- Added fields to edit the range of a DYNAMIC property.
+
+- The index.html page in now obsolete and redirects to index.php
+

+====================================
+
+Database
+---------
+
+- Added the class definition for a filesystem parameter.
+- New issue type: 'property out of range'.
+
+gcm_input
+---------
+
+- Logrunner can select a specific host from a logfile, in case
+ syslogd acts as a log server for multiple systems.
+ This adds a new parameter (logile/fromhost) to the configuration
+ file.
+
+- Logrunner uses the official hostname (FQDN) instead of the
+ hostname returned by gethostname().
+
+- Handling of parameters is greatly improved.
+ When creating a new parameter from an XML report which is fed into
+ gcm_input, the class definition is used as a template to fill in
+ the default values for the properties.
+ The class is also used as a template when a new property is added
+ to an existing parameter.
+
+- DYNAMIC properties are now handled properly. Instead of making a
+ 'changed property' notification, the value is checked against the
+ defined range for the property. An 'out of range' notification
+ is created when this condition is detected.
+
+- Added a new filter which can directly read the output
+ of the UNIX df command. A brief description is added in
+ the user manual.
+
+- Bugfix: Segmentation fault when reading an rpm package list
+ with empty lines.
+
+- New program: spamdetect.
+ Expirimental utility to log manually reported spam and have
+ Gnucomo detect the spammer's IP address.
