2to 2.3.3 and higher: a bug has been fixed that resulted in an additional
3 slash at the beginning of the linked path of symlinks in the root
4 directory (symlinks in other directories were not affected)

6 -- this may cause spurious warnings about modified links, if you check
7 against a database created with an earlier version of samhain

11from lower to 2.3.x: the database scheme has changed slightly.
12 To upgrade, use the following SQL commands in the command-line
13 client of your database:
14
15 -- MySQL:
16 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD COLUMN acl_old BLOB;
17 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD COLUMN acl_new BLOB;
18
19 -- PostgreSQL:
20 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD COLUMN acl_old TEXT;
21 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD COLUMN acl_new TEXT;
22
23 -- Oracle:
24 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD acl_old VARCHAR2(4000);
25 ALTER TABLE samhain.log ADD acl_new VARCHAR2(4000);
26 DROP TRIGGER trigger_on_log;

29
30since 2.2.0: server-to-server relay is possible
31
32 -- this implies that problems will arise if your server is misconfigured
33 to connect to itself (SetExportSeverity is explicitely set
34 to a threshold different from 'none', and the logserver is set to
35 localhost). The server may deadlock in this case.
36
37
38
39since 2.1.0: update and daemon mode can be combined
40
41 -- this implies that '-t update' will start a daemon process if running as
42 daemon is the default specified in the config file. use '--foreground'
43 to avoid starting a daemon process
44
45
46
47from 1.7.x to 1.8.x: client/server encryption protocol has been enhanced
48
49 -- 1.7.x clients can connect to a 1.8.x server
50
51 -- 1.8.x clients can only connect to a 1.7.x server, if they
52 are built with --enable-encrypt=1
53
54
55
56from 1.6.x to 1.7.x: things to watch out for
57
58 -- the log server drops root privileges after startup; it needs a logfile
59 directory with write access for the unprivileged user now
60
61 -- the PID file does not double as lock for the log file anymore; the
62 log file has its own lock now (same path, with .lock appended)
63
64 -- by default, the HTML status page of the server is in the log directory
65 now; this allows to make the data directory read-only for the server
