Forward Syslogs over TCP

Forwarding to another syslog server via "Syslog over TCP" protocol has been added to complement "Syslog over UDP" forwarding.

Better High-DPI Support

We have improved the Syslog Watcher manager's interface to provide better support high-resolution displays, i.e., for Windows scaling size set for more than 100%

Monthly Storage Backups

We have added a monthly storage backup option in addition to weekly and daily backups.
