28* In make_combined_log.pl, backtick-quoted the table name and added an
29 order-by clause within the select statement.
30* TCP port number for db connection is now configurable using LogSqlTCPPort
31* New directive LogSQLForcePreserve sends all log entries directly to the
32 preserve file and *entirely bypasses* the db. Useful for debugging, but
33 can be dangerous if you forget it's set!
34* Table names are now quoted in all cases with backticks in order to permit
35 names containing dashes (since many hostnames contain dashes).
36* The request_method field is now created as a varchar(10) instead of (6),
37 after it was pointed out to me that some methods can be longer than 6.
38* New directive LogSQLMachineID sets a string identifier for the webserver
39 machine. This is useful if you have a cluster of many webservers and you
40 want to differentiate between them in the logs: you can tell which log
41 entries came from each machine and thereby analyze your loadbalacing
42 performance. Activate with the TransferLogFormat character 'M'. Much
43 faster than doing some sort of wacky IP addr lookup via local_addr().
44* Added an alternative way of logging cookies. If you need to associate
45 multiple cookies with each request, the new way involves using
46 LogSQLWhichCookies (note the plural) and LogSQLCookieLogTable.
