If it is causing problems, please let us know. A section has been added to the [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/development/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#aac-decoder-issues-airplay-2-only) document. +* Debugging and statistical information now outputs to `STDERR` by default, so the rather confusing `-u` command line option is no longer needed. This has the following implications: + * If Shairport Sync is run from a terminal window, then messages, warnings, debug and statistical information will appear on the terminal window. + * If Shairport Sync is run as a daemon, then `STDERR` will be redirected to the system log. + * If you wish to use [syslog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog) (e.g. you might wish to see the different levels of highlighting of different categories of information), +there is a new command line option `--log-to-syslog`. (This is used by the modified startup scripts.) +* The `-u` option is now redundant and is deprecated (see above). +* A new command line option `--log-to-syslog` allows you to direct messages, warnings, debug and statistical information to [syslog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog). For full effect, it should be the first argument in your list of command line arguments. It is really intended for when Shairport Sync is run as a daemon. + Version 4.1-dev-283-ga62e4b0b ==== **Enhancements**
