IMmerge makes it easy.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Please keep in mind this is a beta version, so I recommend you make a backup of any files before you replace them. It&#8217;s been tested quite a bit, but there will always be something that I didn&#8217;t catch. There are also some known issues &#8212; so if you are insistent about having perfect logs, then I suggest keeping a backup handy.<\/p>\n<p>There is one major issue I know of where I would suggest waiting for a fixed version:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>If you used versions of Trillian OLDER\u00a0than 4.0 (including 0.74 &#8212; 3.1) in MORE THAN ONE timezone, and you run IMmerge\u00a0on these logs, then you will get duplicates in your logs in the wrong timezone.\u00a0Logs from Trillian 4.0 beta (later than build 90, 2008-11-21), Trillian 4.0 FINAL\u00a0and later are unaffected.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is due to a bug in older versions of Trillian, where timezone information is not logged. Note that only those sessions that differ from the Timezone setting in IMmerge will be duplicated (and only duplicated once). If you are OK with that, then go ahead, but do make a backup.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, feel free to leave your feedback and suggestions here in the comments, in the forum or by email. Thanks go to all the people who have emailed me in the past; you have definitely helped solve a great deal of bugs!<\/p>\n<p>-Albert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a very long wait, I&#8217;m happy to release the first beta of IMmerge 1.0!
