1) What's new in this release?

Enhancements:
- Support for multilingualism implemented. You can use built-in languages (English and German) or languages in an external localization file (SIL-file). Check out the View/Options-Dialog. You can easily translate IB LogManager into your native language by editing the shipped "iblogmanager.sil" file with a tool called SIL-Editor. You always get the newest version of SIL-Editor from http://www.sicomponents.com/download.html.
- Table nodes in the database browser can be filtered easily. You have the possibility to filter table names, register/unregistered tables and enabled/disabled operations. This is very useful when working on huge databases with many tables and a great number of logged database objects.
- Help file updated

Bugfixes:
- AV fixed when right-clicking in the treeview without selecting a node
- Bug fixed logging VARCHAR fields greater than 255 characters


2) What is IB LogManager?

IB LogManager is a logging tool for Interbase®/Firebird. IB LogManager watches data changes in the database for each data manipulation
operation (DELETE/INSERT/UPDATE) on specific tables and columns. With IB LogManager you have a tool for defining which database objects
should be logged. If you are interested in logging a history (changes) of prices in a table article, just define it with one mouse-click.
Have you ever tried to build logging triggers for a big database with 200 tables manually? Yes? It's a lot of work and a faulty process.
Forget this intention and use a tool like IB LogManager. It's easy and no programming needed!
