+Subject: Log Rotate
+Master-Only: True
+
+The sample logger files have been changed to have .log as their file
+extension. This was done so that when attached to issues on the issue
+tracker, they are able to be opened in the browser for convenience.
+Because of this, the asterisk.logrotate script has been updated to look
+for .log extensions instead of no extension for files such as full
+and messages.
