Hello,

I am in the process of porting CaPutLog [1] to R3.14 and noticed that

the implementation relies on an almost identical copy of the R3.13

logClient library (part of libCom). I further noticed that the

logClient in R3.14 is *almost* fit to be re-used for CaPutLog. I have

made some rather superficial changes to logClient.[ch] that would

enable such a re-use. The only change in the interface is an additional

extended initialization routine

epicsShareFunc logClientId epicsShareAPI logClientInitExt (
   struct in_addr server_addr, unsigned short server_port);

that enables creation of a client that send messages to a different

server. Additionally, this init routine does /not/ automatically

register with the errlog library, i.e. it does not call

errlogAddListener.

Since all existing routines remain unchanged, this change would be

completely backward compatible.

Are there any chances to get this into R3.14.8? If yes, to whom should I

send the patches?

Ben

Perhaps it could go into 3.14.8 or 3.14.9

Send me your version of logClient.h and logClient.c so that I can take a

look.

Also

1) what changes are needed for the Application Developers Guide?
2) What should be added to the release notes?
