NWA90AX - 6.29(ACCV.1) - Change of log format

DevSport

Hi!

I've just updated to the latest firmware - 6.29(ACCV.1) - on my NWA90AX, and noticed that you have changed the log format WITHOUT a single mention in the release notes of this.

for example, old log lines:

Station: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF has disassoc by Unknown! on Channel

Station: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF has associated on Channel:

new log lines:

Station: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff left on Channel:

Station: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff connected on Channel:

and this is only some part of what you changed.

Why did you change the log formats?

Hi there,

At the latest firmware - 6.29(ACCV.1), we improve log wordings more clear and friendly, make it easier for users to understand and more detail information for troubleshooting.

Yea, sure. Mention it in the release notes if you have to change the logs with exact changes, but don't change it if it is not an absolute must. Your customers - including me - depending on the logs would go mad every time they have to update their environment because of your log changes.

Aaannd.. you changed your logformat AGAIN! with 7.00(1).

You removed the year from the date

before: Jul 18 22:00:02 2024 NWA90AX

after: Jul 18 22:00:02 NWA90AX

and added an unintentional space between the source address and port:

before: src="0.0.0.0:0" dst="0.0.0.0:0"

after: src="0.0.0.0: 0" dst="0.0.0.0:0"

Are you flippin' dense?

How many times do I have to clearly state to NOT change your logformat, or AT LEAST include it in the changelog??????
