- The DST workaround, formerly for US systems running with Microsoft's DST patch, has now been extended to work on UK (GMT) systems.

If your system is affected, choose DST Correction from the Configure menu. |

appears to contain a URL. - Microsoft changed the ordering of events returned by WMI in Vista and Server 2008 with service pack 2 to bring it back in line with all its earlier versions of Windows. To provide support for unpatched systems, you can now tell LogMeister whether to correct the ordering of events as returned by WMI (see the "Reverse Order" checkbox on the Event Log property page of event feeds) - As this release changes the format of the feed data files, we recommend that you back up your existing feeds prior to installation. See the Help section on Backing up and transfering settings. |
