Cumulus keeps a log of changes to the 'all time records', called <tt>alltimelog.txt</tt>, which can be found in the data folder. An entry is added to this file every time an all-time record changes, with details of the old and new records. This log can then be used to 'backtrack' if spurious data causes an all-time record to be broken incorrectly. It is also a useful log of when records were actually broken.
 
This file was introduced at Build 920 (28 Feb 2010) as a log of changes to the "alltime.rec" records, and it can be found in the data folder. From Build 924 (4 March 2010 beta version 1.8.9), the use of "alltime.rec" was discontinued, instead [[Alltime.ini]] was used, so this file now logs changes made in that file.
This file is just a log of changes, it is not read by Cumulus. Editing it has no effect.

The dates are in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd) and the times are in '''hh:mm''' 24-hour format (the separator is always a colon, irrespective of system settings), and the values are always to three decimal places.
