I normally wouldn't announce a dot release, but the latest version
include an fix for the end-of-the-year problem (CS logs don't include
the year):

Summary

    A Counter-Strike server log file monitor and administration
    tool.


Overview

    CSBuddy is a tool designed to help Counter-Strike server owners,
    particularly those running AdminMod.  It does two things: First,
    it maintains a queryable database of all players that have been
    seen on the server; and second, it filters the raw logs of a
    Counter-Strike server and distills them into a single CSBuddy log
    which shows only high-level activity such as excessive friendly
    fire incidents, admin activity, and players complaining about
    misbehavior or saying suspicious things.

    This tool is built upon an included Counter-Strike log file parser
    which is provided in a simple derivable class.
