 * The PiAware installation script now supports Ubuntu Noble Numbat.
 * The installation of PiAware is no longer required when choosing to install dump1090-fa.
 * The dump1090-fa installation script now mimics the current dump1090-fa installation instructions.
-* Added logging functions which in the future will offer a way to log output to files.
+* All scripts excluding those related to the portal now utilize the new logging functions.
+* Logging to the logs directory is enabled by default but can be disabled with --no-log or -n.
