What's new in TM Error Logger 3.2.7
Nov 7, 2016
- This version provides an upgrade path to version 4 and lets you know that it is not compatible with MacOS Sierra.
- Note that this version and all previous versions do not work on MacOS Sierra (You need version 4)
- The symptom is that it always thinks that no backup has been done and it will not report any errors.
New in TM Error Logger 3.2.6 (Apr 22, 2016)
- Fix - Updates menu item had a broken web page link.
New in TM Error Logger 3.2.5 (Apr 22, 2016)

New in TM Error Logger 3.2.4 (Jan 13, 2016)
- Added Updates menu item to the TM Error Logger menu as a link to the web page for the latest version. (So you can see if you have the latest version and download a new version if necessary).
- When an error occurs, the information emailed will now include the last successful backup information if available.
New in TM Error Logger 3.2.3 (Oct 25, 2015)
- El Capitan...
- The backup interval is protected in El Capitan and cannot be changed when System Integrity Protection (SIP) is enabled (and it is enabled by default).
- The only way to get TM Error Logger to change the Backup Interval is to disable SIP.
- However, you will need to decide if you want to do that because it is a system-wide change and makes your Mac less secure (reduces it to a security level equal to versions of OS X prior to El Capitan.
- Fix another false positive for backup drive offline

- Email Notification now works with Microsoft Outlook as well as Apple's Mail app.

- However, Apple's Mail app is still the default. You can change that by running the Mail app and selecting Preferences / General / Default email reader
- Note that it is possible that Outlook Express and Entourage also work but have not been tested.
- They will most likely only work when they have been installed as standalone apps instead of being part of Microsoft Office.
- Thunderbird is still not supported due to the lack of Applescript support in that app for sending mail.
