jLog V 6.1 - Release Notes
jLog V 6.1 is a new major release with new installers. It requires a full installation using the installers.
jLog V6 utilizes Java SE 6 (or newer) and cannot run on older
versions of Java. The newest Java SE 8 update is recommended. Please report any
problems to mail@jlog.org.
User files and application support files are stored in
‘<HOME>/jLog/save’. The log file format has been changed and logs will be
automatically updated.
Make sure you have BACKUP COPIES OF YOUR LOG FILES
(i.e the *.jdb-files) stored somewhere else.
I recommend that you strongly consider updating the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) before installing the new version (links to the
newest versions can be found on jLog's Java download page).
Frequent update of the JRE is generally recommended (Java is being
continuously improved!).
